Bad Blogger

As is the case with most things in my life that don't require bathing, feeding, cage cleaning, nose or butt wiping, etc this blog has been neglected. Truth be told my psyche has been screwing with me. Maybe I am better.

What have I been up to? Well, just a couple of days after the trip to OK with Jan, the boys and I got recruited by the DH to hot shot equipment for a warehouse his company was closing down. TWO TRIPS WE MADE! I even had the extreme displeasure of running a cathead to pull a reluctant forklift onto a trailer. Scary stuff. I highly advise against it. Since we were in Louisiana, I wanted so bad to go see Billy from Vexcon. I think DH was afraid I would kidnap him and bring him home so that detour was overruled.

I got Shaqerriae off to Di's for easy access so that I could get back to riding again. Weather, nerves and back pain prevented me from getting to where I want to be but at least Di got me to the point that I am not bursting into tears while I am sitting still on my horse. She will never know how much she really did help me. Shaqerriae is back home and I am supposed to ride her tomorrow with Sabrina.

Now the sucky news. Went to the spine specialist yesterday. Vertebrae fractures have healed nicely. But oh, what do we have here? Seems I either tore the ring around a disc or ripped the ligaments apart when I had my horse wreck. This is why I am having so much pain. Evidently I had too much swelling at the time of the accident for the xrays to show it up then. I will have to go in for an MRI to see what is what. Meantime the doctor suggested I leave the horses alone for now. We will see. I do know the anti-inflammatory meds he prescribed are killing me. This definitely puts off any serious riding for a while.

I guess that is enough to bore anybody with for one reading. No pictures. Things have just been too crazy. Now, let's see if I can become a more responsible blogger!
