Well there goes all my plans
Sigh.... Everything I have planned for the year is now caput for the moment. I was involved in a fairly bad car accident earlier this week. My car has a couple grand worth of damage if it doesn't end up totaled. I have soft tissue damage in my neck as well as strained muscles in my back. I have to be really super careful. One wrong hit could cause nerve damage. With that said, I cannot ride for a while. My mom is begging me to stop jumping and to be honest I am seriously thinking of making a discipline change. I love dressage and would love to delve deeper into that. But that is not happening any time soon. Sigh, I had such high hopes. I am just having a pity party for myself. I figure until I can ride we will work on ground work. I might have a friend get on him some for me. On top of all of this, as if it's. Ot enough, my kitty has to have surgery to get bladder stones removed. We could all have good thoughts for better things our way.

hope you get better be sure to go to physio and all that which should be covered under your insurance. I was in a bad accident in 2010 i was stopped at a crosswalk and a big truck hit me doing 80kms/hr. I have 3 compact disks and my pelvis is permanantly shifted...
ReplyDeleteGive your back a break and take it easy do your physio and make sure that they give you the all clear before you start doing anything. But dont get to down on yourself you will need to work back up to riding, make sure that your back and your core are strong. Its doable... i did it and if you love riding then you will too. I was back in the saddle 3 weeks after my accident (which was NOT a good idea) then i took 6 months off to work with a young horse and then went back to riding. Dont let this bump in the road discourage you.
After my accident i was looking at doing dressage only as well but this year we are going to do some eventing cant wait!!
Thank you so much. I am trying to take it slow. I'm so anxious. Riding is my time to relax and think about nothing else. But I know that if I push it I could permanently damage myself and then never be able to ride.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words.
