Well........... On Friday I took her out onto the grass and supported her totally so she could have a peck at the grass. On Saturday she could support her weight on her feet but not move. Sunday she managed to walk about 3m on a downhill slope. Monday she had managed to walk down the ramp from the house. Tuesday she had a bit of a slow walk around the lawn. Today she was lined up waiting to come out of the run and this evening has managed to put herself to bed.
So I can almost stop holding my breath now. I haven't posted as I was waiting to see how she would do.
The most surprising thing to me has been how lovely all the others have been to her whilst she has been immobile and she has been the perfect patient. I'm so pleased that I decided to give her a bit longer ! Very Happy

Oh Nisi

that is brilliant news Very Happy

Never mind a good patient, what about YOU !!! - you sound like the perfect nurse !!!

Once she is fully better ( which with your TLC I am positive she will be ) do you have a camera to take a picture of her, so we can see the famous Maud ?

Maud is continuing to improve. Here is a photo of her as requested. She is on the right and enjoying 'porridge time'. Very Happy

Wow how did you do that Nanny? Yes it is Maud! The one I took post illness was the one of them all enjoying their afternoon porridge.

Thank you ! Very Happy

Which of course, you are. ( that comment is meant as it reads and not sarcastic) I remember deeply how hard it was for me to get a picture on the forum, without it taking over the whole universe in size. Well done NannyP ~ when are you next giving lessons ~ so I can get it right next time?

That's the difficult bit, see....I can do it, but would really find it hard to explain.

Oh well, here goes.
This is if you have your photo in the Gallery.
Go to Gallery, find the photo you want to post.
Right click on the photo and then left click on Properties.
Copy the address URL, which is about halfway up the box you have opened.
Come back to the thread you wish to post it in, and press Paste. I then highlight the URL line and then press IMG.
It will then enclose the URL between [img] and [/img]
Press submit and the post should have your photo in

Let me know if my instructions are what you're looking for.
I normally open up another Internet Explorer and use that to find the photo in the Gallery, or on any other site. That way I can flip back to the post and insert the image.
