When the second one came out it hurt like hell, so for the rest of them I would do a dry run the night before my appointment and see how it felt. I have been doing a day in shoes and a day in the boot. What's really intresting is, in shoes I don't seem to have much pain, but when I put the boot back on it hurts like hell for a while. With the boot on, I am like superman! Heck I have actually caught myself running a step or two. But take it off and I can't walk staright! I try to be as careful as possible in shoes!!

But I haven't taken out the extra wedge yet, and it seems to be up to me to decide when. It's a very strange state to be in; I seem to be getting even more cautious as the end of the tunnel approaches. No way will I risk going through this again! So reading about you - I would be careful about uneven surfaces out in the pasture; you need a flat and even surface to avoid any sudden twisting. My doc did mention that.

It's one of the more fragile times so you are doing the right thing by taking it easy. Glad that you've been able to work with your horses again. congrats! horselvr - glad that you are taking it slow with 2-shoes.
