Pinched Nerve

Whatever I did on Sunday, flared up again Thursday. Just moving those dozen or so corral panels (with help), made whatever is wrong with my back/should way worse. So last night, I didn't do much at all. I checked on the mares and ponies and the big herd was out in the pasture so let them go. Filled the mares/ponies water tank and that's about it.

I'd gone out earlier in the day to try the "sock protectors" (i.e., put tube socks on horses legs to help keep the flies from biting). Apparently I didn't something wrong because the tube socks were around Rabbit's ankles when I went back out in the evening to check on her. Surprisingly, she stood for me to put them on. I don't typically mess with her that much and she's a holy terror for the farrier. So me messing with her feet and holding up her leg, I thought, was going to be a pain. Instead she stood pretty well. Going to have to work on that. She's one smart girl.

Unfortunately, another night of not getting anything done. I'm hoping with a few days of rest that whatever is wrong will fix itself. I'm guessing it's a pinched nerve. At least today I can breath easier. And with being at the paying job, I move around a bit more (because I can't get comfortable sitting for hours on end). So hopefully moving will help loosen up whatever is going on. I guess we'll just play it by ear for the next couple of days. I'm am figuring it's going to be fairly low key at the Sanctuary for the next week or so until I'm back to 100%.
