I never thought I would say this but I am grateful my life is boring and predictable now. Due to the fact that we never know when the next big thing will pop up I am reveling in this quiet time.
So I was really worried about my MRI, but Dr. Fink reassured me that it was stable so i don't have to worry about that. The net day I got my 4th and final root canal and my headaches went away completely. Now I only get a headache if my body is trying to tell me something i.e dehydrated, hungry, tired, sleeping too much etc.
Something else is helping my headaches. Horses. I got a volunteer position at the English riding stables on Jupiter. The owner that I have met, Freya is awesome~!~! Sarah H. wrote a letter of reccomendation to prove that I have alot of horse experience. I am eternally grateful to her for that. If she had not done that I would still be in the house all day obsessing about my own death and worrying that every twinge of pain was snarla staging a comeback. Now whenever I get nervous I go hang with the horses. My favorites (don't tell them) are Dearaz, Tusca and Tommy. I get to walk them to the grass, groom them and generally hang out with them and give them lots of love. Tommy's owner has cancer and she can no longer come take care of him so I do it or as much as I can. He is a TB which is a highly active breed and though I used to work with only Thoroughbreds I now don't have the strength to handle a highly skittish horse. That and I don't want to risk getting kicked in the head. I know he wouldn't mean to hurt me but they can easily injure me and if I did not know what I was doing they would.
Teresa always wanted me to get out of the house and do something that I love, but the only thing I wanted to do was work and be around horses. Period. I knew that was what would make me feel better and feel alive again so thank god for Sarah Hamilton.
Did I mention I am free labor? But I am not exactly free my payment is being around these majestic, calm, and healing creatures. Once again horses will save my life. Once again I realize that I have something to live for: God, my husband, horses, and prove snarla is a little weenie biznatch.
Thanks again for reading. I could not do this without you guys. Thank you.
