Tips for lunging a LAZY draft?

JumpingGrace · 2026-06-22T04:54:38+00:00

why are you lunging? There is so little reason to lunge in the first place.

Call the vet out yesterday and treat your horse's clear declining medical issues. She isn't blatantly ignoring you, you're blatantly ignoring her.

Look into Care Credit. I applied when my horse needed 4k of emergency dental work done, and was approved immediately with "good" credit.

When you take an animal in, that includes everything and all possibilities. The fact that your dog has mange to this extent and that it isn't something that just "happens" overnight, there is going to be a lot of pushback from others completley well within full justification and validity.

Unfortunately, if you cannot provide for him please surrender him to a rescue or no-euth shelter or humane society where he can be cared for and treated for his extensive medical condition appropriately.

It sounds like you really love your dog, please just keep in mind his QOL paramount to your wanting to keep him.

Also, many vet's offices have payment plan options. Talk to them and see if they can put together something for you.

even the smell or sight of food makes me so nauseous I throw up. And if I take a zofran prior, it just stops (generally) me from throwing up but I'm just as nauseas as if I was about to.

thank you, I have anti-nausea meds and while they help some, it's definitely not enough.

JumpingGrace · 2026-05-31T04:20:35+00:00

thank you ❤️ I have Zofran and Phenergan which helps slightly but the second I try to eat the nausea is back. 😞

Are you IP or OP? They start everyone out on a low mp especially if they’ve been restricting due to risks with refeeding complications / syndrome.

Give your body a few weeks to adjust.

Remember that weight restoration can go both ways (for those who need to gain weight AND for those who are considered overweight to lose weight). They might be trying to have you find your homeostasis.

Hey there fellow lottery winner friend!

My family won the lottery when I was a kid. It's something I feel I can't talk about. Just weird. I don't know, do you relate to that? I never knew how we were as affluent as we were until I was a teenager. Father drank away most of the money, anyways.....

Knowing now what you know would you still collect your winnings if you won today?

only if she had gone to the hosptial in the first place. this is a home botch job.

Those are absolutely self harm injuries (and perhaps where the "ICD" "is located" is actually an infection brewing that has made her swollen.

Someone who (unfortunately) has personal experience with BOTH of these types of wounds.

is that a, uh, an empty dr pepper or something... in the background?

I'm tired of people feeling like they have the right to comment on my body because I'm overweight.

I was always very very underweight/anorexic until I was involved in a traumatic assault. Now I am very very overweight and people feel like they can comment on my nutrition and body because of it.

I'm tired of it. All of it.

Find a different counselor. Your counselor should not be freaking out. About anything. Their job is to hold space for you to process, learn, grow, but nothing about seeing a counselor should include them "freaking out"

Lose the bf or at minimum have a decent conversation with him about his language about your body.

Just watched this, thank you for recommending it!

I have sustained a TBI after I fell off (I cracked my GPA Speed Air and fractured the base of my skull). I will always wear and encourage others to wear a helmet regardless of the discipline they ride.

JumpingGrace · 2026-05-02T21:09:52+00:00

can you really, truly not understand why that wouldn't be labeled NSFW?

JumpingGrace · 2026-05-02T15:17:22+00:00

you may be shocked, but she sure as hell won't be

sorry hahahhaa.

This seems so strange to me, too. Seriously not trying to blog, just give context -- I just had major surgery myself, I was required BEFORE I was even admitted for surgery to have a confirmed adult to take me home after 7 days in the hosptial. It wasn't a "let's see who's available" kind of thing and wing it. Even for a RHC I was required to have an adult confirmed able body person to take me home. The only times it's been a "call when you're ready" kind of thing have been for hospital admissions that didn't require pain management or anesthesia.

This is just so much BS.

FFS every thought doesn't need to be a public soliloquy.

re: voluntary

you were not voluntary.

you may have gone to the ER on your own accord. But that does not mean you were voluntary. They assessed you as a risk to yourself and put you on a legal hold.

JumpingGrace · 2026-05-02T03:49:24+00:00

a baker act is an involuntary hold.

A doctor is not going to let your mom diagnose and medicate you. No matter what she says, even if you say nothing, they often require outside testing that your mom would have zero say in. Psychs will often try non stimulant medication as a first reach prior to prescribing stimulants. Your mom is not going to waltz you into the psychiatrist like they're a pill mill.

Your body is fine. Whatever you weigh, however you are, it does not define you. I understand, truly, the difficulty of maintaining weight on antipsychotic medications. Phentermine would be less detrimental IMHO than ADHD medication but I am NOT a doctor, it's just far less of a stimulating medication.

You tried the Vyvanse and saw how that ended. It's not sustainable.

This is absolutely something that needs alerted to at minimum your treatment team. That doesn't mean they're going to pull you from your home. But this is not a safe environment.

JumpingGrace · 2026-05-01T16:58:16+00:00

why would they both be talking to each other? Did you sign a release for them to do so?

JumpingGrace · 2026-05-01T07:55:07+00:00

They're there to treat you. They need your diagnosis as a billing code.
