Bay Mare Boogie!

The good news continues (yay!). She drank water this morning. She seems to be handling everything well. The path out of the woods continues to brighten.

She has been pawing whenever she comes back in from being outside — but it is out of boredom/pissiness rather than pain. She wants to go back outside and is tired of being in the stall. Her vet said that she will be able to graze tomorrow morning, and that will help her attitude tremendously. She may also get some grain tomorrow.

Yay! I almost asked him when he thought she might be able to come home. He told me not to ask him that until tomorrow after she has been eating. He didn’t want to jinx it. =)

The only bad thing is that the incision site has a minor infection. Apparently it’s in not topica. He’s going to take her off of the antibiotics to let the infection come to a head and drain. After that she’ll be back on the antibioitics to finish getting it out of her system.

(vast relief)

The bank visit this morning was also good. Hopefully the financial aspects are all settled (unless something else happens, but let’s not go there).

  • Vet visit

    I called the vet and asked for her to call me back. Hopefully tomorrow she will be able to come out and see Isis. If she can, I’d like to do x-rays and a sonogram of her tendon. No, can’t really afford it right now, but neither can I afford to let something like this…

  • Kids and Jitters

    The best way to quell pre-performance jitters is to go to the barn. While horses make some people nervous, they are my sanity. If I’m upset, just touching Isis is usually enough to calm me down. I dragged my dance instructor today to the barn. She didn’t mind because she also has horses. (In fact,…

  • Another day at home

    The Bay Wonder Mare(tm) continues to enjoy being at home. The first day she was home, she seemed to relax. Her entire body language was softer — as if it was safe for her to finally show just how exhausted she is. She has been getting out twice per day for good grazing while being…

    Where did October go?

    Where did October go? I suddenly blinked and it was gone and November is looming large. December isn’t too far behind, judging by the Christmas crap that’s appearing in the stores. (Christmas crap = the tacky decorations that get shoved on unwilling consumers to encourage them to buy buy buy during the ever-extending holiday season.)…

  • Amazing Mare

    Isis hates needles. She despises spring vaccinations and has let her displeasure be known through body-slamming me into the walls. With her powerful neck set, she pushes me out of the way to move away from that nasty thing poking her. One vet I had tried twitching her with a chain and rope. I was…

  1. Phew – glad the financial bits are working out. I was really worried about that, but then, I knew nothing really mattered nearly so much as the mare, so I didn’t ask. 😉 Glad things are coming together more and more.

    And the only reason I don’t like wordpress sites is I never know when you reply to a comment… grr. Any way to make it do that?

  2. Actually, there are some plug-ins available that let users subscribe both to posts and comments. I’ll install them now so hopefully they will work. =)

    The admin accounts for WP do have the feature of being able to receive email notifications whenever a new post or comment is added. I’m surprised that same feature isn’t included for users. You’d think it would be. I’ll see what I can do to correct that.
