I wish my camera was working. Was working just a few days ago and today I went to pack it to take with me on the ride, and It says "system error" on the LCD screen. It is relatively new... I will take it in to a cameras shop tomorrow or Monday and see what is the matter.
Ramius, any place in particular I should take it?

Good morning all!
I am up for now.... going back to bed.... Horse will be OK I think. It didn't morf in to horrible swollen wounds in the night. He will be OK in time I think. I get depressed wondering if he will have horrid looking knees, but I think it is not infected.
Hair's ankle, however, is not worth a dang right now. I am in full hobble mode. It'll be fine too... but it is swollen and sore.
To: HairOfTheDog
Good Morning, Hair!
Sorry to hear about the Bay, glad he's going to be all right.
You should have put ice on your ankle. :)
To: HairOfTheDog
I am in full hobble mode. It'll be fine too... Oooh that hurts, I know from experience. Hope the pain goes down soon, so you will no longer be a 'hobbling hobbit'.

Sorry to hear about the Bay, glad he's going to be all right.She certainly cares for that horse. Did you notice that it took about an hour and a half of posting about its injuries before she mentioned her own ankle?

Did you notice that it took about an hour and a half of posting about its injuries before she mentioned her own ankle? Yes, I noticed that!
To: Overtaxed
Yes, I noticed that!So what is a good breakfast for someone recovering from an ankle injury? I have been on the most recent Jeb Bush thread, suggesting plans for the Governor's inauguration. The Washington Post is writing about the Democrat train wreck in Florida this year!
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
So what is a good breakfast for someone recovering from an ankle injury? I'm thinking breakfast in bed! :) Something that person with said ankle injury doesn't have to stand up to get.
To: HairOfTheDog
Had a mishap? Whahappun?

Good day all...
Hope everyone has a good Sunday. Slept in here, and now feeling energetic. Going to run with the feeling and see how much I get done!
Hair, sorry to hear about your fall... hope both you and Bay recover quickly!
Off to make second breakfast... eggses, sausage, toast... mmmm, Texas toast with apple jelly! Yum!

Breakfast in Bed.

The last time I even rode a horse was around the time Eisenhower was inaugurated! Well, it hasn't been quite that long for me, but Southwest Airlines did say I'd have to ride two horses...
Afternoon all. Checking in here and gonna watch (or listen to) Virginia Tech whup up on Arkansas State.
To: HairOfTheDog
It'll be fine too... but it is swollen and sore. Sorry to hear about you and the horse. Take care of yourselves. You do keep kingsfoil on hand don't you?
To: Corin Stormhands; Bear_in_RoseBear
Southwest Airlines did say I'd have to ride two horsesBased on previous remarks from Bear, I do not think that the three of us would be poster boys for Weight Watchers! Where is that ice cream anyhow?
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
ice cream......mocha almond fudge.....mmmmmm!

I just logged on for the first time since yesterday before the triple 0. How's the Bay's knees today?
What are the injuries like? A skin will heal with little treatment, as you suspect, but it might help to put a little neosporin on it with some telfa pads and that wrap stuff called coban. (Comes in all those bright colors...) Also, so sort of antibacterial spray might help, even if you just do that all alone and especially if they aren't terrible skins. I am thinking "Bactine" but I bet they have a horse equivalent.
My biggest concern when I think of an injury to an animal in that area would be an actual full-thickness skin tear. Those tend to spread and heal up as an open hole with muscle and ligaments showing through. Really hard to treat in that area, I would imagine. I had one on my greyhound that took 3 months to heal. The vet kept stitching it and it would pull apart. Finally I just started rubbing it with Silvadene cream and gradually it closed.
Give me an update. Sorry to be so long with any advise, I've been offline due to storms. Steve was gone all night and I had to take the boys to church by myself!

Hi folks, it is relatively safe to go onto the news forum again. A few of us, led by MadIvan, seem to have finally killed that 'If only' thread, after more than 3300 posts. Got everybody who was rational to stop posting, the rest had nobody to argue with.

Hi folks, it is relatively safe to go onto the news forum again. Did you ever know that you're my hero?
