Onwards & upwards! A few months ago, I couldn't imagine ever riding shotgun in the front of the van with this boy again. The jump onto the front seats was too high for his broken body. Since the accident, he's been riding in the back, all sad & drooling. Today, normality was restored, & he rode up front with us no problem. 🥳 We've been reducing his pain meds, too. As of tomorrow, he's off the gabapentin which he's been on since Sept, (we'll keep using the anti-inflammatories a bit longer). /1
