Aww… Darnit Again!
I was supposed to go watch my trainer ride Nico at 12:30 today. Then my friend called me at 9:30am crying because she had an ovarian cyst rupture and needed to go to the ER. So obviously I headed over to my friend’s apartment (and I happened to be in the bathtub when she called so it was a little crazy trying to get ready fast) and helped her limp out to my car. Fortunately we got into a room quickly and now she’s off at ultrasound. While waiting, we’ve been studying for our big exam tomorrow. Ironically, it’s over the male and female reproductive systems. I hope they ask the symptoms of an ovarian cyst rupture. I’ve got those down.
So I ran out and called my trainer who said she will still ride Nico and call me tonight to let me know how it went. And then I have a lesson tomorrow at 2. Once again - an all-nighter followed by an exam and a riding lesson. I survived last time, so this time should work too.
And I just heard one of the nurses say that an “Arm verses chainsaw” is on the way in to the ER. Holy cow.

I am assuming you are taking finals which hopefully means you will have a little time off coming up. Then you can spend more time with Nico. Your poor friend…I hope they do ask that question on the final. I am sure you will see lots more fun things like “Arm vs. chainsaw” in the near future. I have a feeling the chainsaw won.
onthebit,
Unfortunately, I have boards coming up in June, so I won’t get much time off to just chill out. But I will have a more flexible schedule, so I can study at night and ride during the day! I will see a lot more of Nico until July 7th, when I start my internal medicine rotation. And then school will once again take over my life
And my friend was able to go home around 1:30 and said her pain had lowered to a 3 out of 10 (instead of the 8 it had been when she first called me). She didn’t even want to stop and fill her pain medication prescription on the way home, so I think that’s a good sign.
Yikes! A wrench in the plans. That is how I felt yesterday when my horsie didn’t feel good.
I hope your friend is okay, you get all your studying done, and have a good lesson tomorrow!
By the Way HaffieGirl, stop by Pony Girl! I tagged you for a little history lesson!
Hope the test went well. Nico is sounding like a super cool pony
Sometimes life just jumps up and messes with the horse plans. I hate when that happens. Good luck on your exams
