Rrae- things are going ok with my horses. I'm caring for them 99% of the time. I only need help to unload hay/grain. Mine are easy though...they stay out 24/7 and only come into the barn when they want to. They have free range of their stalls and lucky me, both of them HATE to potty in the stall! My stallion is a trip, if he's locked in for any reason, you have to go out and hand walk him for potty time because he absolutely will not pee in the stall, he'll make himself sick first. Poor boy was being locked up every night for the past 7 months because people moved in next door with 2 horses and they thought it was ok to use my fence line to turn out..made it difficult and my stallion had to be locked up every night and had to be hand walked for potty breaks. But THANKFULLY they moved out on the 10th HIP HIP HOORAY and things are back to normal and my stallion is once again happily turned out 24/7 with his momma.

My Boston Scientific rep called me last week after my pain dr visit. Said he'd heard that my implant wasn't covering the pain. He's such a great guy, he helped me reprogram my implant over the phone. Helps that he'd done the same with me during my first trial implant. Now I just have to keep myself from fiddling with the programming whenever its not up to par!!! But still..makes it much nicer not to have to drive 45 miles each way just to get the darn thing reprogrammed!!!

I have an appointment at the cancer center on July 14th to get my 2 RFAs done again. The month can't possibly go fast enough, When my RFAs wear off, my leg pain keeps me awake and I can't take pain meds at night because, lucky me, I'm an oddball who gets hyper on pain meds!!

Hope all is well with you and your critters!
