We have a surgery date!!!

This is the update I posted on our website last night.

6-30-09 Update-As many of you already know Jeremy has been in need of surgery due to a recurring dislocating shoulder. Two months ago it happened twice within three days. Being as we had horses in training already and we had to push on Paul and I started riding the colts with the owners permission. While I loved it and got to work with Jeremy daily and ride horses under him, it is just not my gig to be riding other people's colts. Not to mention trying to get that done with kids running around getting into trouble, well it was interesting to say the least. With Paul's help we had it running like a well oiled machine! He is truly a great friend and has agreed to stay and help us as long as we need him. He has been here since the miscarriage I suffered April 22nd. Jeremy was injured a week and a half after I came home from the hospital. And then again on May 3rd, just two days later. They know him by name at the ER now and I think they may even find it amusing to see him coming with no shirt on, a mangled arm obviously in the wrong place, chinks, hat and boots with spurs still on and usually drunker than Cooter Brown since we are so far from town and he needs something for the pain! He started riding outside horses again on June 1st, still in pain but we had to work to bring in money. Thankfully we now have a surgery date for him and we can feel like we are moving forward and get him healed up and back to work. Timing has worked out well with the last training horse he has here will leave on July 7th and his surgery is scheduled for July 9th. We have been scheduling lesson days in an effort to keep him off the streets and keep food on the table. I have gotten my resume together and am looking for work while he is healing. I figure if he is home with the kids he won't be able to get into too much trouble! Several people have encouraged him to write while he is recovering. I sure hope he does! Needless to say he will not be taking outside horses for quite some time. We will keep you all posted as to when he will open the book to limited horses again. Our main focus will be to keep him down and let it heal properly in the coming weeks. Wish me luck! Please.......
