The swelling has gone down considerably, and the minor bruising has faded away, leaving only the major bruising and moderate swelling (noticeable in the ankle/hock area). Jack's still not weight bearing much on the leg, it appears more sore/sensitive than his right leg did after it's surgery, but then he did have more damage to the left knee than the right (the medial meniscus was folded over and had to be removed - so it makes sense that there's more inflammation still in the joint, making it still sensitive). Last night, for whatever reason, Jack was very restless, moving about every half hour to find a different position, so today's going to be a long day.
