Thank you so much for the concern and the good wishes that have been passed to me through the comments box and via email. It’s all very much appreciated.
The Grey Mare is currently on box rest. A week and a half ago, she went for x-rays, which have been sent to the Royal Dick in Edinburgh for a second opinion. I am still awaiting the results.
Today, a bone cruncher has been, who has found a sore spot on her shoulder. He thinks she had ripped a muscle and has prescribed massage. He says she is sound. In herself, she is bright as the proverbial button and adoring all the fuss and pampering. She is a very ‘nice person’ and is an adorable horse to handle. She is the perfect patient.
Her stress levels at having to stay inside (this is now her third week on box rest) have been mitigated by the fact one of her two boyfriends is also ‘under the vet’ and is currently residing the box next door. They make eyes at each other across the divide.
As for me, well, I’m knackered – and keeping everything crossed for a good outcome.
Love M&M.
PS. The Edwardian ring went for £177 – way way beyond my reach.
Lovely M&M,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to see the lovely Grey mare is still poorely. You sound exhausted. I am thinking of the two of you.
I hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteI'll cross my fingers for you as well. Worrying is a very tiring business isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping she's on the mend.
Really glad she's happy with her boyfriend. Box rest is no fun.
ReplyDeleteI've been checking in every day to see how things are. Hope the treatments do their stuff.

I think I need "box rest" myself. Resting in a "box" is my idea of heaven. I could stay there all day. Here's hoping the grey mare pulls through.
ReplyDeleteDelighted you're blogging again - thought you'd deserted us all. So glad the GM is recovering. Nothing like the love of a good man to make box rest more tolerable........
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back - missed you!
ReplyDeletei had been checking in and was also concerned to find nothing so glad of the update that the 'oss is on the mend :)
ReplyDeletei'd been bidding on some jewellery too and there was a lovely opal necklace that ended up going for about £200!
horse and dogs, who'd have them eh?
ReplyDeleteI pleased to hear you and the Grey Mare are both standing. The best diversion - having a flirty chap next stall.
ReplyDeleteYou do sound done in; take care of yourself as well eh? I continue to have the Grey Mare in my prayers, and have a candle lit for her at all times. A good friend is a precious thing.
M&M, I have been thinking of you even if I havent been thinking terribly much about blogging related matters in general lately. Very best wishes
ReplyDeleteLove Rilly
So sorry to have hitched up again to find you at worry about your lovely grey mare.
ReplyDeleteVery Best wishes, m&m.
Love Lizzie xx
V sorry to hear about Grey mare - and that's quite something given normal feelings about horses since Beth's broken arm. Do hope better soon and your nerves also.
ReplyDeleteHave you retired from blogging?
ReplyDeleteWhat a saucy mare she is
ReplyDeleteHope you will be back blogging soon. The blogosphere isn't the same without you.
*worried*
ReplyDeleteDear M&M,
ReplyDeletePlease come back, even just to tell us how the grey mare is. I am worried about you.
I hope the grey mare is recovering now.
ReplyDeleteMy old horse had a nasty fall on the road at age 25, he recovered and went on to get placed in his 1st advanced dressage test at the age of 26!
