Thanks alot everyone. I am having my 4th surgery on Tuesday! I am so upset. My leg is feeling great and finally getting stronger, now this setback. Each surgery sets my leg back as it is really weak after all this time. I am still attached to a crutch! :mallet:

Yes it was good to sit on my Rosie. She is so gentle. I even rode her up the steep driveway we normally walk up and down. The neighbor was trimming trees and Rosie just calmly looked up and kept on walking. Glad I was on the Rose and not the Bodster! He is strangely calm in his old age but he can still get up and at em when he feels it! :bigwhoop: I had not been to the barn in months so it was good to get some horsey therapy! I spent time hand grazing Bodie and we were both content! Not sure when I will get back but i have those thoughts fresh in my mind! :cloud9:

Keep the positive thoughts coming as they are still needed and greatly appreciated! :hug: I will ride again no matter what! :yes:

Can I be honest :lonely: This is a effing piece of crap! One minute you are having a grand time at the be all of horse shows in NORCAL (Menlo) and then the next you trip and your leg is broken. No exciting tales of adventure just a trip and fall. :mallet: I tripped over a supposed white line. Kali tripped before me and I laughed out loud then I bit the dirt. I believe it was a shrinking median in the dark. I was most likely 3 sheets to the wind but I remember it clearly. I thought I broke my hip as that is what hit the ground. I attempted to rise and was unable to bear weight on my left leg. Kali went to get the car and I stood there all bent over. Passersby claimed do you need some help. I replyed if you are an Ortho Surgeon then yes, if not then amscray! :psycho: It appears IA was hurling in the bushes at the time! :spew: An e Room visit the next day revealed a fractured tibieal plateau. Now I did this once before. I was sking in 1994 when I fell. Torn ACL, Menicus and fracture of the Tibial plateau. so I thought no big deal. the next day I had calls from the surgery center. I was shocked that I was to have surgery. Well apparently I did it up right! (a phrase they did use the the ER) So now it is November 18 and I am headed for a 4th surgery. Imagine my chagrin!

I love you all for caring to be honest I need your support. without Mother I am sometimes at a loss! God save the Queen I say! :teehee:

Thanks again. I swear I will be OK! I am just not sure when that will be! :no:
