Wow, it is easy to get behind on here!
Saturday at work went well. We were busy but not overly busy. I made it thru with no issues. I was very thankful for that.
Sunday was a big day for us. We got our house ready to put on the market-yes, sadly we are selling. It is not going to be easy to leave with all the work and time we have put in here, but I guess it is time to move on. When life throws all this stuff at you at once, you have to give in somewhere. So, we are looking for a townhouse or a small garden home that has a lot less maintenance than 6 acres and a barn! I will cry when we leave (I cried when I made a slideshow of the pictures I took Sunday) but I think in the end it will be for the best. I cleaned all 3 stalls on Sunday and Hubby dumped the buckets for me. It still makes my heart race to lift heavy objects. It was funny though because I wanted to try on my new helmet and make sure that it didn't hurt my head, so I wore it the entire time I cleaned the stalls. Good news is that it didn't hurt my incision site or my forehead at all, so I am ready to get on that horse next week!
I ordered some books on rehabbing and physical therapy for horses. Poor Cesar had gotten so out of shape, he needs physical therapy too. I will help him to get back in shape starting next week with the help of the books and my trainer Vicki. She will be a huge help and comfort when I start riding again. So nice to have someone you can trust on the ground.
On Monday I worked 6 hours and it went well. I had a pretty big issue with my back from all the work I did on Sunday, but it loosened up over the day and I was okay by closing time.
Yesterday I had physical therapy again. It is still going well. My balance is still a problem, but it is getting so much better. I still need to work on strength and endurance. I really need to start working on those things more at home! I would love for the weather to behave so I can get out and start walking around the neighborhood everyday. I just get tired so quickly when I have to wear 4 layers of jackets. I know it sounds crazy, but they get heavy!
Today I head back to work for 6 hours again. I think it will go fine. I tried to rest a little more yesterday than I have been.
Off to get ready for work. What am I going to do next week when I have to be in at 9??? I am spoiled now!
