Pony Owie Update
Here we are at day 6 in the bruising process. Much more colorful in person and still a bit tender to the touch (limiting my choice of shoes *pout*). The bruising is also migrating across the front of my ankle, down the side, and onto the top of my foot. The swelling has gone down quite a bit and is now mostly living in the more colorful areas.
Something tells me I need to buy proper riding boots and stop wearing my Chucks!
Don't let Lethe's bony little butt fool you... She still weighs more than enough to squish feet! And that pink-ish mark in the center is where her hoof slid down my ankle before she hit the ground. We must work on our antsy-ness when out on walks.
I always do this when I'm learning something new.
When I was taking viola lessons, I was constantly slicing my fingertips open with razor blades (work hazard... trimming problem not a cutting one... lab joke, haha) same with piano.
When I started taking heavy combat lessons with Gemini, it was just after I'd jacked up my shoulder taking down a huge pavilion. I couldn't lift my right arm over my head for weeks without tearing up. Solution? Fight lefty. Which I like.
With ponies? Getting my feet stomped seems to be the theme. To top it off, I'm not even getting stomped by the one I'm riding! Oh. Update on the pony-weight-loss-system... down 1.5lbs from my last weigh in. Total of 8lbs. from my highest weight at a couple of weeks ago. Slow and steady is the course. I'll take it off as she puts it on and we'll meet somewhere in the middle. I still think this is a completely bizarre reason to want to drop poundage, but I'll keep going for as long as I can stand it.
