As someone who broke her right arm, dislocated her elbow and went thru surgery, I can only say that you need to remind yourself every day that things will go back to normal eventually. Last November, I couldn't touch my right hand to my nose. A year later, I can do almost everything normally, including raising my arm straight up over my head - a gift I am grateful for every day. As you get well and start physical therapy, check out these JAZ (sp?) splints - my insurance paid for them and I was able to put them on twice a day, adjust how much bending I could tolerate and in the end, slowly but surely I was able to turn my wrist and move my arm. Just don't over-do anything!!! Sending hugs to you and Val!<br />Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-8737110247968883992013-11-03T14:38:45.357-05:002013-11-03T14:38:45.357-05:00One of my favourite songs and the primary motto by...One of my favourite songs and the primary motto by which I live my life!<br /><br />JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-63471916189067557952013-11-02T21:04:01.918-04:002013-11-02T21:04:01.918-04:00On The Phone...Sorry It Ended Abruptly.

I wish it hadn't happened.. after watching my sister with a broken arm I would never wish it on anyone. Such an inconvenience and so painful. She didn't let them (or rather my dad didn't) put a plate or pins in hers either and it healed up great. Doctors are way too quick to want to do surgery.<br /><br />I hope Val is okay. :( Laminitis sucks.

Darn life, always getting in the way of the important stuff like the internet!<br /><br />I hope Val feels better soon, and you, too! I quite agree with you about surgery, I try to avoid it myself. <br /><br />For the ice tray: Run the bottom of they tray under hot water for a couple seconds. Put a towel flat on the counter, put the tray on top of the towel and bang the cube bottoms with a hammer. They'll pop right out onto the towel, then you can just pick up the ends of the towel and dump the cubes into the bin. Can't help you with the oysters, though. Find a bar that sells them on the half-shell ;)<br /><br />Oh, and there's a Blogger app that lets you post from your phone.

Time for healing and time for bones to realign naturally and no invasive anything by humans. Surely your best option. <br /><br />Continued healing thoughts from here for the pain. Also for the pain of trying to live life one-handed. Think of all the brain growth you are getting as you develop your right brain/left brain opposite skills! Maizie is ambidextrous - I'm not and I've always been envious of her dexterity. <br /><br />Thank goodness your sweet Val is healthy and sound - especially with the mild footiness. Travel and new experiences can wreak havoc with all horse systems - physical and mental - think of all the new information going into his eyes and brain - sugar or no sugar - travel to new places is a shock and probably turned his world upside down. What a scare but so glad you two landed in good hands at the farm. <br /><br />Great insight about not worrying what others think. It is the only way to do right by your horse. This is your journey with Val. No one else matters. <br /><br />juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-75917644837219898642013-10-26T08:30:04.601-04:002013-10-26T08:30:04.601-04:00Glad to hear you're going to be ok and you wen...Glad to hear you're going to be ok and you went with doctor #3.
