This past year has been one where I feel like I have been primarily whining, which really isn't my goal. It's been a search for some answers with myself and tools to hopefully improve my riding.
One thing is my Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis. The second recent thing that has been the diagnosis of a FAI and a labral tear in my hip. Some people choose to avoid surgery, but after struggling with physical therapy and the pain getting substantially worse over the past six months or so, I have the surgery scheduled for this upcoming Monday.
To say I am anxious about it may be an understatement.
My surgeon said in the preop appointment that to expect four to six months out of the saddle. I think these semi feral horses are going to be really quite feral by the end of that vacation, but hopefully some good friends will help keep them civilized.
Chili has been injured since September anyway with a large hematoma that is slowly going down, but was so large, she actually has stretch marks and butt wrinkles from it. I am sure she appreciates the time off.
So the 48 hour countdown is on. Wish me luck and I am hoping to come back better than ever in 2019 in the saddle.

I am going to keep you in my thoughts!

ReplyDeleteAfter surgery, I always recommend people to resort to physical therapy, because It's so beneficial to our physical and mental health. Also, because it helps patients on their recovery. It's sad that people don't know how impactful undergoing physical therapy is. A website that has helped me become more aware of physical therapy and its importance is Preferred Rehab , you should check it out!
