A few good things…

1) My horse does NOT have EPM.

 

This is a big one. There’s whole long convoluted story of how we came to be worried about this prospect, but the simple fact is- his bloodwork is negative. No EPM. Woot.

 

2) My horse’s lameness is caused by something fixable. And his general muscle weakness is caused by his lack of appetite from the pain of aforementioned lameness.

 

He’s been skimpin’ on the chow because his spine hurts, and he’s been tired and fatigue-y because he’s not eating. Apparently he thinks he’s a supermodel.

 

3) My other horse’s abscesses are healing and his strained tendon is too.

 

This is kinda big because now he can walk on BOTH front legs at the SAME TIME. No more ‘drunken sailor’ walks outside to get his legs cold-hosed while dodging size 3 hooves. He might be better, but MY toes may never recover.

 

4) My mom is feeling better.

 

This is huge. CHF is no fun and the fact that she’s home again puttering around and planting flowers in the back yard makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I love my mom.

 

That’s all from here. Just a few good things from my world of chaos. Things I am thankful for.

Thank you, God.
