Re: [RC] laid up for ride season - Joan RuprechtI have had a few smashes, Pelvis, wrist, ribs, collar bone, and I was always back riding long before the Dr. recommended. it takes a healthy body and a healthy attiutde and a caring horse. Joan Subject: [RC] laid up for ride season Just had to whine.......and hopefully someone who has experienced similar problems will be able to give me an up life that it will be better sooner than all expect. It seems a year and half after going off a horse in for training (not the horses fault but, the person riding the other horse who launched herself when the other horse side stepped and he ran after the green broke one I was on) and smashed the entire right side of my body. Went to ER and they did Xrays of the ribs (I came up spitting blood)..and even tho' I told them I was hurt on the whole right side including hip the Dr. asked if I could move my leg...which I could. He said just bruised and didn't need to Xray. Well, 3 months later at the family Dr. I complained about the hip still being somewhat swollen and sore....oh just bruised. PRescribe Celebrex....didn't touch the discomfort. Anyhow, this year I said at times that hip still hurts...was told that arthritis will do that and maybe I should give up the distance riding (NOT!!!!!!) This time the Dr. humored me and took Xray (first one)....ha...I've been walking around with a fracture in the neck of the hip. Not only wlaking but, riding and competing. YOu know if they tell you arthritis you keep it moving. Well, now I'm going for a hip pinning on Mon. Told that it'll be 2 months...please someone out there tell me it might be a shorter recovery thatn that.....!!! PLEASE !!!!! AND IF NOT ALL OF YOU WHO CAN RIDE....NO MATTER WHAT ......RIDE and enjoy every minute of it!! and remember to have FUN !!!! I did ride a 50 IAHA comp on my own homebred girl and had the ride of my life on her. She was soooooooo good all day that it was the best B-day present that one could have asked for plus the bestest last ride of the season for me. Ali took 3 Hwywt in UMECRA and 4th in the IAHA. I was soooo proud and still am. Mike has promised to keep my horses going for me....as Tyler was doing so well this year in endurance. what a boy!!! So remember ......ride for fun always first.....and be thankful for every step you take with your horse. Down in the dumps in Wisconsin....
