I had my surgery last November, I didn't fair too well
after mine. I ended up having a "mass" taken from the underarm
that Feb. after. So, I had mine very close together. All's I
can tell you, is that spring, just leading my horses across the barn lot to the
field took everything out of me. Took me a while feeling normal
riding. I could feel it when I mowed the lawn, etc. So all in all
for me, about 5 months. I finally do feel like "myself" but I'm pretty
much near my year marker. I feel for you, take care, and don't do too
much, you don't want to pull anything, that you'll pay for later, so take it
very slow, and "feel" what's going on as you do it, and don't over do
it...

to ride again...
I joined the 'hyster sisters' on 9/24 with subsequent pneumonia, blood
transfusions and later an abscess with a second surgery on 10/8 to remove the
infection and generally clean things out. My sister took my horse to her
place to help me out since I'm not currently able to care for her, but I can't
even seem to stay awake more than 3-4 hours at a time. Really missing
Holly, but at this point I couldn't even walk her to her trailer to groom her
much less consider getting on her. Has anyone been this route or
know how long before you start feeling human enough to ride again??
I know it's off topic, but I guess I'm needing help seeing the light at
the end of the tunnel.
Thanks,
Suzi and MIA Holly
