Thank you Zexious.
Yes, It was a horrible situation. I’ve been around, had, trained and worked with or on horses my entire life. I was also a vet tech working with large and small animals for years. I kept telling the vets it was more than colic but they wouldn’t listen to me. It was incredibly frustrating to know it wasn’t just colic, seeing him getting weaker and weaker and to keep getting told that I didn’t know what I was talking about. We were giving him shots for his pain but couldn’t even stop walking him long enough to give him the shots or down he went. So I learned how to give shots on a walking horse.
I still blame myself for a lot of the pain he went through as I should have done what Rylorien did and had him put down a lot sooner. But I was really hoping the vets were right and I was wrong. Since then I have always followed my gut instinct when it comes to my animals. It was a hard lesson but one I have never forgotten.
The memories of him are all mostly good now and make me smile. His name was Nevada and he was a complete goofball, always the one out pulling pranks on the other horses to see if he could get them to run after him. Was hilarious to see him slowly sneak up on another horse, reach out and pull its mane or tail then give them this completely “What?? I didn’t do it! I’m innocent!” look then do it again as soon as he thought they weren’t paying any attention. lol

"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"Well, I actually now have some bad news to post. I went in for my ultrasound this week, and there was no heartbeat. Based on size, it seems I miscarried about 2 weeks before. 🙁
This changed my whole visit. Because I was supposed to head back to NM, they gave me Cytotec to pass everything while I was still in town instead of dealing with this for who knows how long without access to the birth center. Let’s just say it was a pretty painful night (all night), as pain killers don’t work well for me and they just make me nauseous… so I didn’t take any. It lasted until morning, and I was still not done.
I did pass a good bit, but the problem was I bleeding very heavily. I lost A LOT OF BLOOD. So much so I had to break the news to my mom (who didn’t know anything) and have her take me in before I passed out. I had lost so much blood they sent me directly to Women’s Hospital and was prepped IMMEDIATELY for a D&C. They removed the rest of the lodged tissue (which has also stopped the bleeding) and I am now MUCH BETTER. Let’s just say it’s been quite an experience. I kicker will be the bill. I don’t have insurance. They supposedly worked something out with the doctor that treated me, so we shall see. Fingers crossed.
If anything good came from this, it’s the fact that I now have one hospital I like. I don’t care much for hospitals, but they treated me very well. They tended to me immediately and were very personable and caring. Also, lots of warm toasty blankets! I was quite impressed… and that’s saying something.
We’ll most likely try again. Once we are actually married and a bit more settled. The nurses definitely want me too. LOL
Oh Bayoudragon, I am so sorry. This is an experience I wish that no one had to go through. I am glad that your mom was there and able to help see you through it.
Sending prayers of comfort and healing. And wishing you every happiness in the future.

My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.
Storm – Do you have any photos you could share of Nevada? :’)

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.I’m so sorry Bayoudragon. I couldn’t imagine the pain you must be dealing with right now. I know words from a stranger may not mean much right now but I wish you the best in your recovery and overall future wellness.
Thank you all so very much. I am healing quickly. I’m just working through some emotions right now. I still have my follow up at the end of the week and then I drive back to NM.
Rylorien and Stormdancer. I am sorry for your losses both recent and in the past. It hurts to lose a furry friend.
Bayou dragon, I am terribly sorry for your loss. It is a pain both emotional, mental, and physical. I think sometimes, it is just not the right time. I hope you recover well and swiftly and have a safe trip home.
Well, you know what they say… when it rains, it pours. So I’m driving back to New Mexico when pretty much at the halfway mark, my car dies. Dies. Completely dies. On I-20. Smack dab in the middle of four lanes of interstate traffic.
I had to try and keep my wits about me and not panic. I hit the hazard button and called 911 to get the troopers out with their little flashing lights so no one rammed me from behind.
And of course there are those who will flip you off and honk at you because you OBVIOUSLY wanted to stall out on the middle of the interstate.
The troopers were fantastic and pushed my car with theirs off the interstate and directly to a gas station where I waited for a tow truck.
Can’t tow it to a mechanic, as it’s late and tomorrow is Sunday. So now it’s me, the dog, and a broken down down car stuck at a Motel 6 in Fort Worth for probably at least 2 days until my boyfriend can get here with a trailer. I keep telling myself that everything happens for reason. *head desk*
Now’s the perfect time to TV binge!
But you’re safe, and that’s what’s important.
Big hugs.
