Post-Op Day #44 - Memorial Day!

Well this weekend was the Memorial Day long weekend -- yahooo! Adam has today off which is awesome --just what he needs, an extra day to recoup and rest from his trip to CA!

I have to head out in a few minutes to go help show Mercury to a prospective buyer(YAY, fingers crossed) so I'll be down at RRR for a bit. Though I'm not going to stay too long, I'm so tired again today and don't need to be in the sun for too long or over do it!

Ok, time to update this:

Yesterday as always I was in the barn time warp and half the day was gone by the time I realized it! HA HA!

The people came to see Mercury, I think they liked him but Mercury was VERY lazy and didn't want to do anything --he was extremely trotty which drove me nuts not being able to just hop up on him and show him that he can indeed gait very well if ridden right.

The sunshine was making him dozy too so that didn't help, I think he was on vacation mode(haha) after 4 weeks off of riding. In a way I can understand it.

Not sure if they'll come back again or inquire more seriously but oh well, what can we do about it. Nice people though and they have 92 acres(gasps! LUCKY!).

I had a fun time at the ranch, I even had a sandwich with Julie and some friends of hers who came for a visit. THough I did get TOO much sun on my face and paid for it later on. Ohhhhhhhh the heat, I came home and put ice packs on my face to help stop the burning sensation. oooooo, lesson learned WEAR SUNSCREEN and find shade. I did wear a hat(Thank goodness) and unfortunately the deck(where I sit with my foot up at the ranch) was packed with people so I took a chair that was free(er, ya in the sun most of the day).
I did get up and stand/lean againts the cabin in the shade for 20mins but not nearly enough. ACK! NOT doing that one again.

I finally drove home and had to lay down for a bit. Most of the day was laying about resting but I felt pretty good all things considered.

My ankle felt great after driving to and from the ranch :-) YAY for being able to drive a bit.

Adam went out for a bit and I stayed home, took my Warfarin 7.5mg and watched The Bachelorette! HA HA!

Thanks for checking in
