Tuesday has been doing pretty well and not causing as many problems as we had anticipated. It is annoying to have to have her on a leash at all times - it requires much more tag-teaming by me and Ryan. Also, because Tuesday is not allowed to jump up or down from the couch or bed, we've been trading off on sleeping on the floor (air mattress) with her. Probably a bit extreme, but we both get more sleep this way than if we had to listen to her cry in her crate all night. All in all, it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Of course, we're still in week one. Her stitches come out next week and then after that we can begin to allow her a bit more freedom and walking. The vet checked her out today and said the knee seems to be healing nicely though and she thinks she's going to be a quick healer. I would agree as she seems to not show any signs of pain at all and has no issues putting her full weight on that leg. Quite the trooper.
Keeping the injured leg elevated helps alleviate pain, Tuesday reasons. 
It's hard to not feel sorry for her when she looks at you this way.
All tranqed up and sleeping soundly.
She finally got the soft cast off today and it was replaced with a nice e-collar to keep her from chewing her stitches. I'm not sure she appreciates the trade off.
