Re: [RC] broken bones, screws, etc. - DESERTRYDR1
Ok, just have to join in on the broken bone thread, as I sit here healing
form a compression fracture of T-11 vertebra. No, it was NOT a horse accident,
which is lucky for me, as my boss sort of threatened to fire me if I missed any
more time due to a horse accident. (There were only three times, two
cervical vertebra surgeries, and last year's broken pelvis) This one was work
related, I fell in a five foot deep hole. I also had a slight but painful tear
in
my MCL (knee).
I intend to wait the full six weeks before I ride again, mainly because I
don't want to turn a work injury into a horse injury. But truthfully, if I
thought I could get away with it, I feel good enough to ride right now. The
bone
doesn't hurt too much, it's been three weeks, but my back feels really
tired-painful if I do to much.
When I broke my pelvis, I was back on the horse at six weeks, before I was
finished with PT, before I was walking without a cane.
By the way Lysane, you have FOUR compression fractures? How'd you do THAT?
