Barry and I were in a roll over accident on August 11. I fractured my L5 with tiny little fractures all around. Ugh...the pain was horrible when it would catch. I couldn't put the foot down or move when it happened. I didn't ride for 3 months - I started back with slow rides on November 5. Biscuit cut his foot in the trailer so I had to haul him to the vet and he had stitches and stayed 3 days at the vet.
I had to have bone scans and bone density tests - which showed the fracture was due to trauma not bone weakness. I scheduled surgery for Monday December 11 at Baptist.
I made a solo ride all around the back bog at Tyrrell Park Sunday. It was a fun ride with Biscuit and Sister.
The surgery went well and I came home on Wednesday December 13th. I had to walk and to some therapy at the hospital which went well.
Home health came to my home today and we did a little therapy and will continue. I am able to walk and cooked my own lunch today.
I will blog about the journey to get back on my horse!!! Hoping to be back on by mid-February. Going out to see Biscuit either tomorrow or Saturday!!
