We posted yesterday that Beignet Bear had required surgery at UT to install pins in her right back leg, after X-rays revealed a break. As we said in that post, she returned to ABR but was placed in the Red Roof Recovery Center, where she will spend the next four weeks with no climbing.

So far, her confinement is working out well. She is doing a lot of resting and hasn’t pushed the limits. We hope that her cooperation continues.

Of course it is likely that she is still feeling the effects of the surgery and being sedated, and also likely that her meds include something that relaxes her and helps her sleep. It may be a challenge in a week or two, when she starts to feel stronger. But our Curators are very clever, and they will manage to keep her from harming herself. Watch this space.
