I just had to share this crazy photo of Alvin that I took last Friday! 🤪 And YES last Friday!!! I managed to get out and be with the horses for a brief little minute, and it meant so much. ❤️
.
Alvin was SO EXCITED to see me, which I was not expecting at all. He is very antisocial/independent by nature and mostly keeps to himself. But he walked up to me with the happiest look on his face and then busted out this power move without me asking. 😂 Bless him! ❤️
.
I got both good news and bad news from the surgeon. Bad news is that I have a MASSIVE herniated disc and it so big and has been there for so long that my nerve might be permanently damaged. Nerves don’t heal like bones and muscles do. Even if I get surgery there is a risk that it won’t help or that it will make it worse.
.
Good news is that he is willing to try! I am getting surgery in about 8-12 weeks. It’s a long waitlist and it sucks having to wait that long, but I’m very happy to at least be given the chance. I am trying to not get my hopes up and I would appreciate it if you don’t say things like ”I’m sure it’s going to help”. Because we’re not sure. Not at all. And I can’t even think about the surgery without crying. Surgery day will be the worst and scariest day of my life, but I hope with all that I have that I will wake up. And I hope that the pain will be at least a little bit easier to bear. ❤️ #superponyalvin
