Incision Site Still Swollen

belly1.jpgIsis still has quite a bit of swelling on the incision site. I’m going to have the vet out to check it hopefully tomorrow or on Monday. Isis is sore, which I suppose is to be expected. When I place my hand near the incision site, she lifts her back leg to threaten a “don’t do that.”

She still seems to be eating the grain with the corn oil. Maybe this will work. I hope so.

It was so gorgeous today: clear blue skies and mild weather. Almost a little chilly. Perfect riding weather. I got to the barn with just enough time to throw a saddle on someone… I miss riding her. Rajiyyah’s training isn’t at the same level as Isis’ so it’s hard to just throw the saddle on her and go have fun. Maybe in a month or so she’ll be closer to doing that. Right now, she is still shying too much at “boogers” around the ring.

Maybe tomorrow I can get out to the barn earlier. To do that, I need to log off of here and go to bed so I can be at work at a reasonable time.

    The weather was perfect at the barn. We had a nice quiet ride (more on that in another post). At the end of the evening, the fog settled over the pasture. Evenings in Tennessee always looked like this, but it isn’t something I see very often in North Carolina. Related Images:

    Tonight, we write

    The characters are playing. Specifically: one story, Ride Softly, is pounding to be written. I’m seven pages in, which doesn’t sound like a lot until you consider it’s the most fiction I’ve written in a year (much less in two sittings). It’s Isis’ story, with a twist. When I write her scenes, I have my…

  • oOoo a sale!

    Triangle Horse Sports is having a sale this weekend. Not just any sale, but a Stubben bridle for $50 type of sale. (These bridles normally run $200-$500.) None of the bridles were the right size for my mares. I found one, but after careful thinking (and much “but it’s a Stubben!” reasoning), I ended up…

  • Visiting the Horse

    Sometimes sanity comes in the form of a 950 pound bay Arabian. I saw Isis on Sunday after visiting with a friend (or someone who used to be a very dear friend and now seems to have issues talking to me). She and Penny were grazing in the paddock near the barn. Isis saw my…

  • Vet visit results

    Good news. Well, kinda good news. Isis’ lameness was caused by an abscess and not by a flareup of her laminitis. The vet’s examination showed a sore spot on Isis’ front right foot. Boy was there a lot of nasty gunk in her foot. No wonder she was so sore. Isis wll be on bute…
