Don't worry so much about the manes, the horses are still there. Focus on the big picture, not the little puzzle pieces. It will all come together before you know it. <br /><br />Hang in there! We all know you are the least likely of all to go down without a Hell of a fight! Taking the time to rest and recover fully is still a way of fighting. So if that's what it takes? Then that's what it takes.

Take you time though, you will want to over do when you feel better, don't do it, it will set you back.

I remember people getting irritated with me when I was recovering from having my terratoma removed and saying things like, "Aren't you out of bed yet?" They'd suggest that my slow healing was a lack of effort on my part or that it was psychological. But there's a difference between having a limb broken vs. having your mid-section "broken." <br /><br />Anyway, horses survive out in the wild just fine with tangled manes and whatnot. Quite honestly, I probably only comb out my horses' manes once every few months so I don't pull too much hair out. Please don't worry too much and concentrate on your recovery. We miss you and care about you very much.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-32615676641499492632011-08-16T02:57:41.887-07:002011-08-16T02:57:41.887-07:00It's amazing how far a surgical procedure can ...It's amazing how far a surgical procedure can set you back. Take your time; walking a bit each day helps in the recovery process a LOT. I know exactly how you feel; it almost killed me to stay away from the horses for two weeks after my mastectomy and then for six looooong weeks following my reconstruction.<br /><br />We had some pretty snarly manes around here too; and two tails that had to be shortened due to rats nests *laugh*. I know it's taking a long time, but you'll get there eventually girl - I'll vouch!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608579972739041880noreply@blogger.com
