Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Nothing really exciting has been happening. But I did get back on a horse on Saturday. For Katrina's birthday, we went out to the barn she works at and did a 2 hour trail ride. We only cantered once, and trotted maybe 3 times, sadly. I was initially nervous, but then was fine and realized how much I missed it and really enjoy being in the saddle. I really enjoyed leasing out Porsche, even if it was really far away and even if she was really stubborn... it was really nice. I loved it.
But hey, I can still ride lol! Cedric said I was very brave to get back up. I think it was part brave, part stupid... but oh well. I'm not going to be afraid of horses and never get back up on one just because something bad happened. Although, if something bad happened again I'm sure my parents would kill me or I'd have to take out a loan lol.
Leg is doing all right. I need to do my exercises better. I don't know why, I just can't focus :/
I also need to go to the grocery store, do Unit 3 of Arabic, study for a map quiz, print out discussion questions, and clean the shower/bath.
I'm reading Watchmen right now, supposedly the greatest graphic novel of all time. I'm really really enjoying it. Hopefully I won't get started and addicted to comics or graphic novels, but I love the concepts of the frames and how it's written--we learned a little about that in the media writing class over the summer.
By the way, it's hard to type with a band-aid on. It's weird.
Okay, things to do!

I hope you talked to Greg, your PT guy, before you went riding. Bravery has NOTHING to do with it. I am glad that you are not going to let one accident keep you from riding ever again, but without your PT's blessing, what you did was not BRAVE -- it was reckless and foolhardy.
Everything I have read says you should have waited 3-4 months before resuming riding. A birthday celebration ONE MONTH after surgery is not a good reason to expose your ACL and your knee to further damage. You were/are risking your ACL recovery.
And by slacking on your exercises, you are not strengthening the surrounding muscles and tissues that support your knee, which exposes you to more risk for further injury and walking with a limp for the rest of your life.
It's your life, your knee, your leg. If you are lacking focus, ask Greg for further suggestions. I have offered all I can think of.
Love, Mom
