[RC] thanks to everyone who offered advice on leg injury - alexis_mills
Thanks so much to everyone who offered advice and
encouragement, both privately and on Ridecamp, for healing my squashed
leg.
After just two days
of resting, icing, and medicating, today I'm able to walk without crutches. I
just bought some lavender-scented epsom salts to soak in tonight, and I'm seeing
a physical therapist later this week, so I'm optimistic I'll be riding again
soon.
I really do think the extra body fat is what saved
me (I'm 145 instead of the 120 I should be), so I'm no longer going to worry
about givng up pizza and beer, or cheeseburgers and fries. But I'm
also going to stick to riding my own horse and will NEVER attempt to ride an
unfamiliar horse again, no matter how well trained the owner claims it
is.
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to
write. I really appreciate it.
