Advil, the miracle drug… December 22, 2007

Posted by kimayars Uncategorized Digg! this story! Digg! this story. , trackback

On Friday, I had a mild headache when I woke up so I took two Advil.  I still had a headache near dinner so I took two more.  I was laying in bed that night and it occured to me: My foot didn’t hurt.

I woke up this morning and it was a little stiff, but it loosened up pretty quickly.  All day it has been pain free.  Am I healed?  I’ve been doing the alphabet with my foot and lightly massaging it, but other than that just feeling sorry for myself.  I’ll give it a few more days of rest and see how it does, but I am VERY optimistic.  I’m wondering if I was in this inflamation-irritation-inflamation-iritation cycle and the Advil broke that.  I guess time will tell.

I lunged Mr. Ray today and he was an angel.  I don’t remember the last time I lunged him, so I expected him to be a little confused and jumpy.  He was perfect.  His canter transitions were smooth — normally he bolts into them and then tears around like a madman.

 I should be able to ride him on Monday.  I’m looking forward to that.

I will continue to keep my fingers crossed on my foot!  I would love to go for a run next week.

What’s going on with your feet? I hope you can nip it in the bud with the toes exercises.
