Wow-blogging takes time-and apparently, I don't have any!
So, last week ended well. I worked Saturday and all went well.
This week I worked 9 hours on Monday. I came home and CRASHED! I was SO tired. The weird thing is that over night my face got all swollen again. It hasn't been puffy for a long time now, but I guess at work I talked more or just moved around a lot and it got so swollen. So, Tuesday I went to physical therapy. It went okay but it was obvious how tired I had made myself on Monday.
Then, Tuesday after my physical therapy, I started Cesar's (my horse) physical therapy. He loved it. My trainer Vicki Kelley came over to help me and we did a combination of massage, acupressure, stretching and some light exercise. It was amazing. I got three books recently to read before we got started and then put some exercises together and made a rehab plan for Cesar. I thought since physical therapy has helped me so so so much, he deserves to have it also. I really think it is going to help him a lot. I am planning on doing around 2 months of these exercises and then we will start under saddle again but continue these exercises. If anyone wants more detail about what I am doing-please let me know and I will happily pass it on. I am so excited about it. Cesar still isn't totally sound so we are going to have to see how it goes-we may not ever do dressage again-but we can certainly do physical therapy! Wish us luck!
Today I had a nephrology appt at UNC. Everything went great. My kidneys are hanging in there! Keep up the good work guys :-)
