Yes, best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery!

And we love Sandy! Nice to have you back, too!

Hopefully the “good stuff” you sprung for will kick in soon and she’ll be less resistant.

I don’t know much about horses, but I suppose this would be equivalent to a human having an infection under a fingernail or? Bc that’d be super sensitive pain wise.

So I take it she developed this since being at this farm? Could she get it again bc of conditions there?

You know, we really do need her full backstory. Sweet girl has a fan base and we love her ❤️ I know I smile every time you post a Sandy pic.

Also, if she needs anything else to help her live her best healthy life that you need help funding, I’m sure some of us would be happy to help.

Thanks for being her champion and for sharing her with the Fediverse!

• Suicide by soft hanging
• Cancer (family is loaded with it)
• Stroke (genetic predisposition)
• Some form of political violence / civil war

Sleepy girl so cute! And that’s great news to hear. I’m so glad you’re her human.

My bathroom was right at the top of a long staircase. When I’d be putting makeup on in the morning, Gilligan would bring me one of the small sponge balls from the living room and drop it just inside the door. I’d flick it down the stairs and he’d leap down 2-3 stairs at a time, find the ball and bring it back for the next round. He’d do it over and over again, every day. Miss that boy. Great post!

Still sporting her lovely braided mane?

Sandy posts always make me smile 😊 Love to hear your updates and so grateful she has someone like you.

Just double checked and the chairman is indeed Jim “Gym” Jordan Sick fuck

Jordan was an assistant coach with Ohio State University’s wrestling program from 1987 to 1995.

Richard Strauss was the wrestling team physician during Jordan’s tenure. Strauss died by suicide in 2005. In April 2018, Ohio State University began an independent investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by Strauss. Of the 177, 153 were student-athletes, of which a plurality (48) were members of the men’s wrestling team.: 43

Several involved persons have stated that Jordan surely knew of Strauss’s criminal misconduct but did not report it. Other wrestlers and Head Coach Russ Hellickson said he may not have known about the abuse. A spokesperson for Jordan denied the allegation, saying that “chairman Jordan never saw or heard of any abuse, and if he had, he would have dealt with it”. No wrestlers have accused Jordan himself of sexual misconduct, but four former wrestlers named him as a defendant in a lawsuit against the university.Jordan has denied any wrongdoing and has described his accusers as “pawns in a political plot”.

Ooh, I’m so jelly of working in a barn and near horses! Ouch re: your ankle. Bummer about aqua therapy. It was very hard to find for me too. But it sounds like you’re all set for the task, so here’s wishing you good luck! Do post updates for us concrete jungle types.

I went to a store recommended by a podiatrist. I was assessed and fitted well with good shoes. The foot pain I had disappeared and has remained gone for about 12 years now. I’ll heed a professional who’s been trained in physiology and medicine.

What 30 years in the medical field has taught me is that each and every human being and body is unique. I’m glad you found relief, but please don’t paint with a broad brush that one person‘s solution is everyone’s.

As someone working on getting into shape again after a back injury, the best thing for me at first was walking. Lots of walking. Go to a good shoe store and have someone assess your gait and fit you with a good pair of trainers; makes a lot of difference in how you feel and helps minimize the impact on your joints and back. Also, if you need PT, having it in a pool has been a complete game changer for me. Of course, check with your doc.

Good luck! Keep us posted and give her a banana for me. She’s beautiful 🤩

Rigatoni? And I agree!

Thanks for the info. I never looked into it but glad I know that now. I bought a Sig P365XL and later got a 12-gauge (not sawed off). Love the pistol.

House was broken into while I was at work. They’d gone through the house and messed it up a bit. But when I got to the bedroom, they’d flipped the mattress and taken the pillow cases off. Couldn’t sleep in that bed for maybe six months. Slept on the couch. Even had my bow next to me too for a while.

Cop who showed up told me to get a sawed off shotgun and/or a big dog. Ended up moving 8 months later bc I never felt safe again.

Sorry about the car. That happened to me too, long time ago. We were walking out from work at night on Black Friday and saw them in my car. I caught and tackled one of them and beat the shit out of him. Other 2 the cops got.
