Boomer and I are Getting Better (Warning - Graphic Content)

We went back to the doctor for a checkup on my clavicle.  The x-ray isn't pretty, but it's good news.  The break will probably calcify and I probably won't have to have surgery.  We'll know for sure in six more weeks.  Meanwhile, I get to start using my arm "as tolerated", and I only have to use the sling "as needed".  I will be starting physiotherapy twice a week for range of motion and strength issues for both my arm and my fingers, which are quite swollen and stiff.  I can't wait to be of more help in the barn.

Here's today's x-ray -

Boomer seems completely better.  I hand-walked him down the lane just over a mile this morning, and he was almost on the verge of being fresh.  Dr. Gary said we could start to put a bit more work on him "as tolerated".  Hmmm.  Isn't that what the doctor said about me?

I want thank my fellow bloggers.  I was very nervous before the trip to the doctor, and I spent the morning looking through my favorite blogs.  It calmed me down.  I love the beautiful photographs everyone takes, and I thank you all for sharing your life.

And a huge thank you to Jan, who fed the horses for us while we were away.  We also visited her twice today.  What can I say, I was nervous.  Here's Jan's cat Neville, who's been seeing too many doctors himself lately.
