    Well, I haven't updated in a few weeks. So here we go. I've had a few weeks of physical therapy now and am doing good. I'll probably go back to work around the first week of May. I've still got to build up some strength and stamina back in my right leg ( the one that got all the work done...

    Had my first physical therapy appointment this morning. It went well. I’m having some pain tonight, but I think it’ll get better. I have two more appointments this week. He said probably 6-8 weeks total. So I should be back to work around the first of May.

    I’m a little slow on my updates ( cause I’m lazy ). So here goes. I went to my plastic surgeon last Tuesday, and he released me. Although he wants to see me again in two months. I saw my orthopedic doctor Friday. He told me that I’d be off work for 8-10 more weeks, and start physical therapy in...

    Favourite crosses? What bloodlines do you love the combination of?

    I’m not a breeder. As a matter of fact I don’t even have miniature horses, I have donkeys. If I was going to breed by pedigree I’d have to be prejudice and look way back to the ‘80s, and go for Shady Acres stallions on the top. I like the old style “ drafty “ types. Then on the bottom side I’d...

    My Dr. said good things today. All looks good , and come back next week and he’ll take the stitches out. He did not give me an ETA on going back to work, but I feel like it’ll be 3-4 weeks.

    I haven’t updated in about a week, but really there isn’t much to tell right now. Everything looks pretty good as best as I can tell. I go back to Nashville Wednesday to the DR so I should know something after that. My pain level is low most of the time, and the stitches and staples aren’t...

    Because of paperwork snafoos I did not have surgery today. At this point we are not sure when it will be. We are hoping for thursday, or Friday at the latest. The major hang up at this point is because it’s a new year getting the insurance company to approve it. My question has been for a...
