So I thought I was good and the knee was fine but it locked again this morning and when it unlocked all I could hear was grinding! So off to the hospital I went and after poking and prodding, and twisting (yikes!) I got a diagnoses. Turns out I have either strained or pulled my lateral collateral ligament. Treatment is rest and ice for 2 weeks. :( I also have to go to physio and have treatment done (from Google it looks like mostly lazer and ultrasound)
So I'm off Oscar for at least a week, and walking with a cane for the same amount of time. But I'll know more when I see a physiotherapist hopefully Monday or Tuesday.
In Lucy news I did bring her in on Saturday to do some showmanship work with her, (Even at that point I knew my knee wasn't good enough to ride) She was very good but a little hyped up because she left all of her friends outside. She also got wormed and got a clip job. This morning when I went to go feed (C and D had to go to the states, and my knee wasn't too bad this AM) Lucy was stuck in the round bale feeder (made from wood). We tried to encourage her to jump out on her own, after all she did get in by her self! But finally I went in and looped a rope around her neck and was able to lead her out. Shes very trusing of me, I hope that carries foreword into our under saddle work.
