[RC] Wondering when I'll be able to ride again... - B. L. Kossowan
Have courage, sister. I've seen a few of my riders
go through the surgery - some with pretty radical after-effects, and all have
been able to return to their normal routine after a period of healing and
readjusting. The hard part was to take it easy during the recovery period. For
endurance riders, this means finding the horses a new job to keep them working
while you rest. Out of respect for their privacy, I will say that those who were
at the top of the game before have returned to full strength and in some ways
better because they are no longer coping with the problems that led to the
surgery in the first place. I think this is the market the needlecraft companies
really like to exploit, because all of these women were pretty well confined to
their homes for at least a few weeks.
