I feel like de je vue

We live in Delaware and the temperatures have been well below average for weeks and we got 8-12 inches of snow on Sunday! The fortunate thing is D.U. has his wheels so I didn't have to worry about him too much. Although he cut is outside pad and he won't use his right leg hardly at all. So its been a pain trying to get him around. It has been pretty routine now with his handicap. I stopped taking him to Accupunture because I couldn't afford it anymore. I still take him swimming though. I basically keep a schedule of when he goes to the bathroom and know that every 6-9 hours he needs to go out. He is still incontinent. I was hoping that conventional medicine would have helped. I think it did a little but D.U.'s blatter muscle is too relaxed.. so if he has a full bladder he "leaks". I still have the original four belly bands that I wash daily and they look pretty rugged. It has inspired me to learn how to sew. My winter goal is to learn to make belly bands, and booties for his feet. The ice and snow are so bad on his feet. I have a neighbor come to the house once a day and take him out for a walk and to go to the bathroom. I pay her 5 dollars a day. Its worth it to know he gets regular excercise and he really looks for her! D.U. has a 50/50 chance each day of walking really good. If he lays on his legs too long it almost seems like they are asleep and it takes him all day to work them out to normal. Whatever that is! Somedays I get discouraged and wonder how long I must take care of him. Other days it just seems like its normal. I feel bad for him because it takes him so much effort to get up and walk. But usually he is very happy and has a great spirit. He gets more love than any dog I know. He has become a expert on begging. We created a monster.. but I just can't say no to him. To anyone who reads this if you have a dog that has FCE or had one please drop a line to me. Its comforting to talk to others that have similiar experiences. I would love to know if someone could give me advice on working the leg muscles to help him lift them from the side. He can move them forward but the inner thigh muscle is weak.
