So I had my first ride on Snowbell, with Debbie Anderson. The lesson was wonderful and Debbie was everything I wanted her to be as a riding instructor; calm, but firm and reassuring. This arrangement is going to work out just fine, as soon as my surgery scars heal. Yes, I said surgery. Can you believe the lousy luck?
We were coming home from dinner Monday night when I started to experience some abdominal pain. It got worse as the night went on and finally at about 11pm, I couldn't take it. I had to go the ER. It was my gallbladder, which thank God is a relatively minor. So the lovely doctors at Mountain Vista Medical Center took it out and stitched me back up..and sent me on my way.
I am feeling fine and will be back in fighting form in a week or so. This little experience makes me so happy that I stable my horse and that Fiona is not a complete maniac like she used to be. I called Debbie and asked her to keep an eye on her and turn her out a couple of times. Fiona even got vaccinated while I was in the hospital and the vet told Debbie that she is a totally different horse! Can you believe that?!?!?!
Anyway, all things consider, this siutation could have been a lot worse than it was. I am very lucky to be young, healthy and to have a great support system for myself and Fiona!
Whew! Glad you're OK. Just found out about this.
