this is why I wrote this blog....

I received this comment today on the blog.  This brought me to tears.  This is the reason that I started this blog in the first place.  


I've never met you or Truffles but I came across this blog when I found out my horse also had temporohyoid osteoarthropathy. Your story gave me so much hope, and helped me decide to go through with the surgery. If I hadn't found your blog, my mare would not be alive right now. Thank you so much, and I wish you and Truffles all the best. 


I ask God, in Jesus' name, to help you through this terrible time.  Please give your mare the time it takes to help her to get better.  Do what you can to make her comfortable.  If you find yourself having to get up every 4 hours to medicate her, do it.  She may be left with some residual symptoms or make a complete and miraculous recovery.  Please contact me any time to ask how I got through this.  Be watchful for that nasty mrsa infection in the wound area, as it is actually common in horses.  It makes the recovery time longer.  God bless you,  stay strong and remember it has been about 6 months so far in this journey for me and I think it will take 6 more but we are getting there.
