A difficult day

Today was a very difficult day for both of us. Its hard on me to see Heidi in this condition and hard on her of course because she's not very comfortable. She gets tramadol for pain every 8 hours but they only seem to last for about 4 hours. She spends the rest of the time looking like she's uncomfortable. And there was no change in her strength. She still can't move her back legs. It almost seemed like her left leg wasn't as strong today as it was yesterday, and her right leg was a little stronger than yesterday, but I could just be imagining it. Tomorrow I'll ask the Dr. if I can give her the tramadol more often and see if that helps any. By the looks of things, this is going to be a very slow process with not much new to report each day. At this point, I'm just trying to keep her comfortable and waiting patiently for her to be able to move her legs.
