| Thanks, Minqiz!
I agree that it sucks when our parts wear out!
I keep thinking back when I was young, and my mother told me that one day I would regret how hard I was on my body. I just shugged it off. Lots of horse wreaks, skiing,etc and the old knees were bone on bone, plus very bowed.
I could still ride, so I put it off to the point that it was have them replaced or look to a future in a wheelchair
While I would love to have my own joints, having replacements was the only option, so I decided to make the best of the situation, and worked hard at recovery, determined to get my life back-which means riding
I;m back to trimming all of the horse's feet, doing the chores and riding when I can get to sAFE GROUND.
Don't want to risk a horse falling with me at this point
Nice to have straight legs again and walk normal. Now I just have to learn to trust these new knees!
Good luck on your future surgeries!
