    Hi Sheryl! @Me2 Jena and the Wiz are doing great thanks!! Life is as busy as always with work and playing with the pony. I'm leaving the house at 6am and lucky to be back in by 7pm - leaving me a couple of conscious hours to have dinner and watch a bit of TV before collapsing into bed!! Sorry...

    Wizard thanks you @Me2 and @concal for the lovely compliments :flwrysmile: One of these days Sheryl, I'll get me one of those very comfy Aussie stock saddle's too!! The one in the pic is just a standard dressage saddle :wink: So, I'm back to work full time, and not doing a lot of riding -...

    @copsham Great job braving the elements - that was quite the spectrum!! And yes, horses are good for the soul... I can just see them now, coming over, ears all pricked, asking if you're ok with their eyes. I'm so pleased your shiny new hip has helped you to make equine friends :flwrysmile: So...

    Helloooooo! Well, ladies and gents, I think it's fair to say that I'm about as happy as I've ever been! I felt sick to my stomach driving to the equestrian park, what on earth was I thinking? This was madness!!! But I went there anyway :heehee: I arrived and found my doctor and her little mare...

    @concal Great to hear from you! Yep, I havent gotten on from the ground in years either - I usually use a milk crate or some other mounting block - but these days, those aren't high enough. In the future, I'm thinking the wheel arch of my horse float, or the back of my truck are looking like...

    So!.......where to begin?? OK, well, I saw the OS last Wednesday. He was very happy with how I was progressing. Xrays looked great. Of course, I complained about all of the restrictions and mentioned that I was a bit perplexed about still having thigh pain at 6 weeks. He said - ok then, full...

    Whoopsie! Where did the time go??? I'm off to see the surgeon tomorrow for my 6 week checkup including xrays. I'm not anticipating any surprises, things are going very well here. It's pretty much certain I'll be approved for weight-bearing - and that's probably just as well. I've been doing...

    Oh Sheryl! I'm crying here! I absolutely KNOW the joy you felt! Being able to really sit around the horse, rather than the awkward perching on top we used to do. And to have BOTH hips flexible to allow you to use more leg than rein to guide the pony....just breathtaking! I had a brief glimpse of...

    Hehehe he yep @Me2 Sheryl, it is my new role in life to serve as a warning to others! :rotfl:. Seriously though, please don't let my wee mishap scare you off! In hindsight, it was crazy early to have been allowed to ride, and everything was still a bit 'fresh', AND it was just an unlucky thing...

    Hi Maggie, thought I'd hobble on over and see how you're travelling? Just 3 more sleeps til you're on the road to the rest of your life...how cool is that? Hope you have a super day tomorrow - it's lamb cutlets on the barbie all the way here! Happy Australia Day!

    Heaven! I'm home! I've been a bit slow with updates, sorry - but I've just been way too busy being pinned to the recliner by the fur kids to pick up the iPad! :heehee: It is just wonderful to be here. Mum is being absolutely brilliant. She's letting me do what I can for myself, and then happily...

    Hey Sheryl @Me2 and Donna @craftdee! Yep, I have finally come to the realisation that I am not, in fact, Wonder Woman. Who knew???? :heehee: I suffer the same frailties that the rest of the human race suffers....but I won't go quietly and I don't hafta like it!:rotfl: Donna, you were bang on...

    Started hydro yesterday. The time in the pool was pure heaven! Loved getting the pressure off everything and swinging like a pendulum do.....but.... I have turned into a scaredy cat:shocked: and a whiney baby :boohoo:! I was terrified about slipping on wet floors once I was out of the pool -...
