On to the next hurdle
OK, so Nathan can consistently walk the entire distance of our long walks, wobbly at times, but he's got the endurance now. So, check that off the recovery list. One thing he still struggles with is the way he puts his back feet down. He still does a little upside down foot stride before his foot turns to the proper upright position. Its just for a split second, but its enough to scrap one toe on each foot, more so his right foot, which is the weaker side. Before each walk, I wrap a little fabric bandage around that toe on each foot. I had stopped for awhile to see how severe the drag was and I've had to start again. Its been about 2 weeks now. Hopefully, we can test it again in another couple of weeks.
