April 30, 2001 – Jabber's first week at home went pretty smoothly. He is still weak and unsteady on his feet, but he is very happy to be back with his family. One member of the family was not pleased to welcome him home. Our male swan, Mr. Big, has been on a rampage. It's breeding season and the Big feels he must defend his territory against all interlopers. Unfortunately anybody he sees is considered an intruder. He launches an immediate attack. We have had more than a few confrontations over this issue, particularly when Jabber has insisted on "sling-walking" his way into the front yard. The only thing that effectively drives off an attacking swan like Mr. Big is a big heavy stick. I keep one within easy reach at all times.

We expect to follow a Monday through Thursday rehab schedule for several weeks. His fixator rods will remain in place during this time, but the external stabilization bar will come off while they are manipulating the leg. (Then it will go right back on.) I hope to learn more about the treatment protocol and observe a therapy session later this week. Once therapy begins we'll have a better idea about the overall condition of Jabber's leg.
