I love the turnout and browband.

The ortho was very very clear exactly how bad this injury is ... much more so than the ER doctor. I was doing compression and ice, but not staying off my feet at all. I'm so lucky I didn't end up with an infection or compartment syndrome in the few days between ER and ortho.
I'm spending a good 90%+ of the day sitting with my foot elevated above my head, ice, and compression. And on crutches the rest of the time. I did reject the medical compression stockings in favor of wrapping my leg carefully, because the silicone no-slide bands at the top of the socks? Hella painful on all that bruised raw flesh
I've got a MRI Wednesday morning so the surgeon can get a clearer look at all this blood. It's a week out and it's not reduced in size at all.

Now that Tesla has found her try, she is almost over-achieving, like she wants to offer canter but can't figure out her legs. Definitely need to work on right lead more on the lunge line, but we did canter all the way around the big outdoor on the left lead tonight and she got much praise. I so hope we are past the growing roots phase so we can move on to some actual training.
