Bad news...until then, no riding, no soaks in the bathtub (showers only), no lifting over 10 lbs, etc, etc, etc. I started crying when the nurse went over the instructions with me. She was a bit concerned over the crying until husband told her I was upset over the riding part, of which she said 'well, you can go visit your horse'. Clearly the women is not a rider.
But surely no riding does not mean I can not sit on my horse and walk her out after daughter rides her or husband lounges her...which I did Sunday night...and last night...and it would be so easy to just ask for a little trot...
Riva must sense something is up - she has been very tolerate of my hugs and kisses. She stands very still at the mounting block for me to get off and on and walks so carefully. Love my girl!
So for now, trainer Alexis will put rides on the Diva. She rode her last Friday and Sunday night - husband lounged her for me last night. She looks great - forward, round, happy. But it is oh so hard just to watch!

Glad that you are recovering well. Follow the doctors orders so you can get back to really riding in no time :)
Glad everything went smoothly!
Good luck with it! I am terrible at following doctor's orders, and so have developed a knee issue at the age of 25. I'm normally someone who does everything normally even while injured, but since then, I have taken it more seriously...tough to get older...
How long do they expect your recovery to take?
I know how that feels, when I had a laparoscopy and then a cyst burned off I got told the same thing, Needless to say it didn't last for very long and I hated just sitting there watching people.
Hope you are back on soon and feeling better!
STAY OFF THAT HORSE!!! You know how easily they spook, and I would hate to imagine what could happen.!!!!!
Get well soon!
LOVE your new top picture!!
I'm glad everything went ok!
What a good girl taking care of her mama! Follow your Dr's orders young lady!! :)
Great news that everything went well! You will be back riding in no time!
Hope you continue to recover well!
Please be careful! You don't want to tear the hernia back open and extend the recovery time any long than necessary! I'm glad it's going so well and that Riva is being such a good girl. :)
