THERESA’S FRACTURE & TINSEL’S RECOVERY
[clear]
On Monday, Theresa was accidentally kicked by one of the horses and she was knocked to the ground. She was immediately taken to the ER where x-rays of her right leg, hip, and hand were performed. Thankfully, no fracture occurred in either her hip or leg. A CT scan, unfortunately, revealed a fracture of the third metacarpal bone on her right hand.
On Tuesday, Theresa went to the Orthopedic Institute for further evaluation. She will be in a cast for six to eight weeks and thankfully, will not require surgery. Her leg has a sizable bruise as well as quite a bit of swelling and is truly painful to say the least.
While waiting at The Orthopedic Institute, Theresa picked up a magazine and what did she see……Beauty‘s Haven, featured in an article about Mocha and Daisy with their adoptive mom – Emily Pridgen! Needless to say, even though she was in extreme pain, this truly made Theresa’s day!
Theresa, despite her own injuries, is extremely worried about sweet Tinsel. While some hock swelling has gone down, Tinsel is once again, reluctant to put weight on that leg. She was doing much better until Sunday, and then for some unknown reason, she has taken a step backward in her recovery process.
Our Match Game for Tinsel is still in progress with $373 remaining in available funds so if anyone would like to assist with her medication/veterinary needs, it would be so greatly appreciated. Just yesterday, we had to purchase another medication which cost $400. If you are unable to contribute, we ask that you please support Tinsel by simply sharing this email amongst family and friends. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed toward Tinsel’s Medication needs. We are so truly blessed to have your love and support.
