Hello Ken,
It sounds like Edison is on the mend, just make sure you let him 
heal completely, and that he gets all of his medication.
You don't want to push him too fast and have a set back.
Take care,

Edison's back!  He's not working yet, but here's how I know 
things will be alright.  When Edison was really hurting, our cat 
Peaches would go up to him and sniff.  Then she'd walk away.  Now 
she's back to being Edison's annoying little sister, wanting to 
play; chase, batting him on the nose, etc.  He wants to play 
chase too and will run about half way down the hall.  Then he 
just stands there for a few seconds.  Then he's off running 
again.  After a little while, he goes back to his bed, now with a 
heating pad on top, and dozes the rest of the afternoon.  I've 
had him guide me from the kitchen to the front door, and he pulls 
out in harness.  I have a new project.  You may have noticed that 
my vet wasn't able to get the kind of ex-ray he wanted, so I'm 
saving to get him a newer machine that can accommodate bigger 
dogs.  That's the problem.  Dr.  Bashra took over a practice that 
saw small animals mostly.  It may take me five years, but nobody 
should have to put their animal through an unnecessary ride just 
to get a decent ex-ray and diagnosis.  Also, nobody should be on 
the radar at their guide dog school just because of an accident.  
That's like blaming the victim.  Right now, I'm on the radar.
