Norman got mad when I held Wellstone, the parrot
Norman's orthopedic surgeon called this morning with their recommendation. As predicted, they believe he has a torn ACL and meniscus.
They recommend surgery as soon as possible to avoid further tearing and arthritis.
The recovery time for this surgery is 8 weeks. During that time, I will have to keep Norman's activity level to a minimum. (Easier said than done.)
Since we are in the middle of a huge basement renovation, I have decided to schedule the surgery when it is completed, or at least mostly completed.
I'm looking at early June.
Thanks for all of your well wishes. Norman & I appreciate the support!
Basement reno, day 22

You'll totally need to think out of the box to keep a french bulldog inactive. Nice that the problem is at least fixable (well sort off) poor little bugger.
Kick'n renovation effort (great to know the T-shirt arrived I just could'nt be bother hassling the good rabble folk by sending it to NZ)
Lizzy, I'm thinking of Norman all the time. Man, that basement is really coming along!
Glad the li'l feller is doing o.k. for now!
Thanks everyone!
