Thursday, February 25, 2025 – Slightly Less Hectic Day at FITS

Today with smoke

Yesterday with fewer trailers

Hi Sweetie,
Had another early morning, woke up early and spent some time using the massager on my leg. It did seem to feel better for a bit. Of course, it was a little better after the ibuprofen kicked in, too, though by the end of the day, I was in agony again. There wasn't a lot of odds and ends to finish off today, mostly just parking folks and trying to keep them from encroaching on each other. Mostly civilized, though. Of course, the rides started today, so there were pretty horses everywhere, so that's always a plus. Thank goodness I have the quad Mule! I couldn't have survived without it. I could barely walk, even with your stick, and I'm getting sore muscles from being in such an uncomfortable posture. DeDe has offered me her crutches, she's going to bring them by tomorrow, I think they'll be better than the stick. Interestingly, after I finally got back to camp, and taking forever to feed the horses, I finally took off the copper brace thing and took my hot tub, and once again, by the end of the soak, it felt somewhat better. I don't know if it's from the hot tub or from taking off the brace! It does seem to feel a bit too tight, so I'm going to not put it on in the morning to see how that goes. I'm icing it again now as I drink my Sleepytime tea, and I'm going to leave it off tonight as well, just to see what happens. Last night and this morning, I used Salonpas, which I still don't think works very well for me, and used Aspercreme with lidocaine instead, just to see if that makes a difference. Of course, it will be ibuprofen again tonight and tomorrow, we'll see how that goes. Won't be long out of bed tonight, though tomorrow should be easier, since most folks are here, and some have already left, so there are more parking options. Enough for today! Love you, darlin'! Good night!
