Finally over the sickness…

February 17-26 I was sick with the same illness I had in December. Yet again. Not fun. This time I saw my doctor (instead of the nurse practitioner). She said I had an upper respiratory viral infection along with bronchitis and a secondary sinus infection. She basically ordered me...

I rode!!

Whee!!! I rode Isis for the first time sincer her surgery. Granted, it wasn’t much or for very long, but it was still sitting on her back… She moves so differently from Rajiyyah. Rajiyyah’s steps are more upright, more bounce. Isis reaches with her shoulder and strides...
