Well since my last update on UDBB things have changed I think.
I am now on an easier regime and handling that pretty well, only 7 weeks to go.
Yesterday I got the great news that I won't be getting radiation, I could have hugged the Dr. I want to be finished by Christmas.
Today I got assessment for rehab and start next week, they were impressed with my tests although I have been getting cramps since I got home.
On not such a good note the blood clot in my heart hasn't reduced a lot since the last test. I am sure they will just let me continue to inject myself twice a day and see how it goes, I just want it gone. :(
Ponies are fat as mud and Lewyn is entered for a big breed weekend in Nov and Grace entered for the national Palomino championships the week later. I have friends showing them for me and I hope to be at both shows.
I haven't seen the foals since the day after they were born, my appointments have all been in the opposite direction.
I have now had 4 rides on Lewyn but can only last 10 minutes on him, hence why he is fat. Very frustrating. :roll:
Daniel had an abscess which has had to resolve itself as I don't have the strength to pultice it but at least it wasn't his tendon which I thought to start with.
Spring is here and I want out to play in this glorious weather, oh well it will end I will be able to go out and play again.

I hope you at least get to sit out on the porch enjoying rays of sunshine! It does sound like a positive update overall!

Thanks for your update--I've been thinking of you.
Slow and steady hon, you'll get there and the ponies wont be any worse off for the goofing off time.

Slowly, slowly, Shirrine. It's really hard to wait these things out. But it all sounds like it is going in the right direction. HUGS!

With the exception of the clot it sounds as if things are moving in a positive direction. Hang in there!!

Great news! The end is in sight! I did radiation after chemo and it totally kicked my butt. Still jingling for you.
