Literally I got all screwed back together. I am doing fine. I
had surgery 2 weeks ago and all went well. The first few days were really rough but
after that the pain started to subside quickly.
At a week post-op I was pretty much pain free when I was resting with my
foot elevated. That’s a great thing
after nearly 3 weeks of straight pain. I
am happy to be off of all narcotics and now take the occasional dose of
acetametaphen. I think I would be off
of pain meds completely had a not had a minor set back by falling a few days
ago. I instinctually attempted to catch
myself by putting weight on my leg. Pain
shot through my leg and I then face planted onto the ground skipping my phone
across the pavement. My leg has now
started to ache again and some of the pain has returned but otherwise I believe
I didn’t do any lasting damage. No
lasting damage to me. My phone on the
other had is a total loss. I have had it
a total of 6 weeks. It’s not really been
my month. The same evening of my fall my goats and kids were also attacked by a
swarm of ground bees, getting stung several times. Thankfully though there was no lasting damage
was done. But still universe you can
stop now. You win!

| I guess I never mentioned we have goats now. 2 Nigerian Dwarf does. They are entertaining to say the least. |
The boredom is as awful and miserable as one might think and
the fall just reemphasized my fears that if I don’t get my inability to sit
still under control I am going to do more damage than good for myself. Elaina has started riding Steady a bit here
and there to keep him working at least minimally. I have been considering leasing him out so he
can stay in work. But it’s not likely
that I am going to find a 6 month lease over the worst months of the year. I have potential interest in a year lease but
then that just screws me over. Ryan says
I should share Lego with Elaina. I am
not sold on that idea. And could I
really trust anyone not to screw up my horse?
Doubtful.

Summer, it was so much fun and a lot of chaos. I am grateful we at least had a really good
summer before I was grounded. It can
pretty much be summed up with Pony Club, boat and Jetski activities and all
American family road trip vacation. Can
I really complain? Ok yes I could
actually complain for a good amount of time about how it’s not fair. That I want to compete and after so many
years of putting everything on hold finally everything was exactly where we needed
it to be to have a really successful end of season at Novice level. But who wants to read paragraph after
paragraph of my pity party?
get a life proof case omg!! So worth the $90 and they replace it if it gets wet (water damaged) while in the case. Its saved my phone LITERALLY hundreds of times because I drop it minimum once a day.
ReplyDeleteE is snow white, haha! Also, time heals all things Its super shitty, and you don't deserve this at all, but next year you'll be even better with Steady man
Wow what a month. Glad you're healing. :-) Hopefully this goes by faster than you expect.
ReplyDeleteThat's one hell of a month.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter IS snow white in the wooded forest. Heal up quickly! Or as quickly as you can possibly will your bones to fuse and strengthen.
ReplyDeleteThat last pic - priceless! So crappy that this happened to you - hang in there Amy!
ReplyDeleteugh i know that feel girl - hopefully next year will be better!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Snow White pic. I guess the leasing idea is which is worse for him, off time, or new rider time? I can't answer that one, I guess if the right person offers, you'll know. Its good weather to take up crochet? Arm crocheting scarves is really easy and pretty fun... unless you have to try to stop half way thru....
ReplyDeleteYou're allowed to have a pity party! Your blog, your rules and all that. We all have shit times and need an outlet to whinge.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're on the upswing. The time will go quicker than you think. Try not to overdo it :D
ReplyDeleteI would be going crazy too- you can do though. I think it's okay if your horse has some time off. He will come back up to work with you which might be better in the end.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I would happily read 10 more posts about your pity party if it would help you feel better. I also highly encorage you to invest in a coloring book to help pass the time. As for leasing, I think you may want to mention to a few horse friends and see if they know of anyone trust worthy, but no ads or really trying hard to find someone. Who knows, maybe there is someone out there with an injured horse who is a great rider and you would be helping them out while they are also helping you...
