Fusion Long ride to a successful Fusion

[Jamie]

Audrey, I can tell you've been doing a lot of soul searching. You're right.....sometimes that's necessary to get things in proper perspective. It's difficult when life presents us with major changes. But you never cease to amaze me with your attitude and strength.

I love that another dainty horse will be coming into your life. I can certainly see how those little guys would bring a lot of joy and smiles.

Yes, Jamie......a LOT of soul searching. Believe me...this really works. Write down on paper everything that is good and wonderful in your life. Everything that makes you happy. Things that you've achieved and done in your life. You'd be surprised how "eye-opening" this can be! Then, write down the pros and cons of doing something that you want to do, but may not be able to, for whatever reason. When I did this, I saw on paper just what a great life I've had and continue to have, despite the trials and tribulations of the past 3 years. My true friends have stuck by me, and I've found new ones that will be life-long friends. I may have lost the ability to do my dental assisting job, but now I'm enjoying taking photographs and hope to make it into a small business...maybe next year? Also, I have been available for my daughter through this terrible time in her life. I'm a true believer in "things happen for a reason". Often, we question why, and wonder when the answer will come...but sooner or later, we "see" why things happen.

I've attached a picture of "Cookie", my little dwarf miniature horse. You can see how small he is! I can't remember if I wrote this earlier, but he has a crooked right leg and hoof. He manages just fine! So we are now "soul-mates"! click on the link below to see me and "Cookie"!

This is "Chip"! He'll be coming at the end of August!

 

[Jamie]

Love the photo of Chip. Cookie's link didn't work, though!!! Can you try to insert the photo directly?

 

[wanttoride]

I'll try to upload a photo of "Cookie"....if you see it.....IT WORKED! That's me bending down to pat him....he only comes up to me knee!

 

[wanttoride]

Here is a better picture of "Cookie". Most of his baby fur (which was brown!) is gone now. He will be a black with white patches!

They are both soooooooooooooo adorable. How could anyone not love them? They will be such a joy to you.

And you are right, Audrey, when we take time to truly count our blessings, we discover that we so many more than we would have ever thought. So many things we come to take for granted instead of really appreciating.

More TIME & PATIENCE on the healing front for you, but you'll make it through. Both your head and your heart are in the right place.

Very very cute!

Audrey, they are so cute! Look at you bending down to pet him! Equally impressive! I have been here through all of the ups and downs and I am so glad that you are able to find some joy in your animals! You, my friend are amazing!

[karmigirl]

Audrey,
They are just adorable. I new they were small but never realized just how tiny they are. Good job on being out there and bending and petting that baby, it does my heart good to see what you have accomplished so far and I am sure there will be more to come.

 

[wanttoride]

Hi everybody! Andrew....I think of you often and want sooo much for this to work out for you. I keep hoping when I check in that you are going to have a date for the reversal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is soon! Sonja....yup! You've been there from the beginning for me! THANK YOU, THANK YOU...THANK YOU!!!!

My son arrived from Texas for a 3 week visit. Guess where the first place was that he wanted to go! (see picture)

 

[Lauralou]

OMG!!! I want teeny tiny horses in my field.

 

[RestAssured]

Hi Audrey, Hope all is well. I have a friend in Deer Isle, her name is Penny, and she's also crazy about miniatures ponies. Do you know her? Anyhow, wishing you the best, and your daughter as well.

 

[wanttoride]

Hi everyone!....I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted. Things are going pretty good. I obtained complete fusion in September....yay! My RSD has started to bother me again since the cold weather is now here. I decided it was easier getting around without the lift in my shoe. For some reason, it really made my good knee quite painful. I hope everybody else is getting along well!

 

[bottomshollow]

So good to hear from you Audrey!!!!! I'm guessing you've just been busy with life which is why we haven't heard from you in a while. You seen pretty upbeat---so I hope all is well with you. Give us more details when you have time. Take care, we care.

 

[Pat29627]

I was so glad to hear you're doing pretty well. Sure hope the RSD doesn't bother you too much....I was really worried what a surgery would do. Love the tiny horses.
