Will send some healing prayers your way. I didnt know for a long time how this was going to turn out. Even if I cant get back on the fast ones at least I can celebrate that I m back on. |

Location: North of the 49th Parallel | I sure know how you feel, although mine was just a knee surgery gone slightly wrong and nowhere near yours. I was on my horse twice before dr clearance and haven't been on since I got clearance (although I doubt my surgeon would feel very comfortable with me riding at this point) and I WANT TO RIDE. My saving grace is the fact that I live in freakin' Canada and it's the middle of winter. |

The thing that kept me out of trouble and able to give myself the healing time was having the surgery in December and it snowed the day of my surgery and it seemed like every other day afterwards. that helped but once spring broke i had to pace myself. Hope you continue to heal correctly and can get back at it once Canada thaws. |

Location: North Dakota | redracinmo - 2013-12-13 10:12 PM I tell u once i got back in the saddle my mind cleared, my humor came back, everyone at work said i had the light back in my eyes. I felt whole again. I tell everybody it is not a hobby to me it is a lifestyle. The best part was everything seemed to stretch back out and I couldnt believe how much more it helped me than physical therapy with a therapist. I can tell now when i go a few days without riding. I try to swim on the days when i cant ride. Luckily there are some hotels in our area that allow u to pay so much a month to come in and swim.
Well, first of all, that's an amazing story and I'm so glad you have healed and can ride again! Second, I completely understand everything in that paragraph. I literally have to ride or else my mind just goes. I get depressed, restless, and just don't feel alive. I've gone through a couple periods where I couldn't ride for over a year at a time and it killed me. I also have absolutely horrible neck/back pain and no doctor can figure out how to control it. The ONLY time I am not in excruciating pain is when I ride, because I'm so focused on the horse, my mind can finally block it out.
Once again, so happy for you and glad you got a new, more fitting name! 
sidenote-my name doesn't fit anymore either. I quit the red bull. The energy drink addiction is over. |

| Congratulations to you on your perserverance and success on riding again. I love to hear stories of people and their "never give up attitudes". I hope you are able to get back right to where you were before your accident. God Bless.
I've never understood the "name" thing, some people get names and re-names, others never get a name at all. Not sure what the criteria for getting one is, but I like the one they gave you, you have every right to be proud of it.
