RE: [RC] Back Injury - Sheila A. Walsh

Drin,

I'd let your back heal completely, cause to ride in pain is also going to
hurt your horse.

Heidi and any of you others out there that have had this type of injury , 
how long did it take you to heal up enough to ride ? I broke off 5 of my 
vertabrae tips in the middle of my back two weeks ago last Sunday by landing

on a big rock in a stupid fall that was completely my fault . The Drs.  told

me to let pain be my guide but obviously they don't know endurance riders 
:-) I have been riding my 4 wheeler which you "kinda" have to mount like a 
horse with just alittle catch in the back when I throw my leg over . I can 
handle alittle pain while riding but I guess what I am getting at is I don't

want to do something and have residual pain for the rest of my life just 
because I want to get back riding a few weeks earlier than I should . Of 
course it doesn't help that two of my closest rides are this month either 
:-(  Drs. that don't ride just don't have a clue about this type of thing .
