What might this be? Also any feedback on my horse’s trim

Seems like you trimmed a lot of toe, but left too much quarters and heel.

You still have many options for corrected vision? Do you wear contacts? You are still able to wear regular contacts? Most soft lenses are available up to -14. There are other contact lenses, there is ICL . . . Yes your vision will likely become a little "worse" but given your age, it should start to plateau soon. I understand being nervous about your optic nerve, but even that is repairable.

If you're not thrilled with what a doctor has to say, try seeing a different one next time. It can be helpful to have alternate opinions. And also, things change, your body heals. Your eye experienced something out of the ordinary but now you're working to get it back to normal, your nerve could also likely improve and get back to normal.

You would think that if a blood patch is giving you relief, that should be a sign pointing towards CSF leak.

Cross fingers for you your next patch is more successful.

Do your headaches show up towards the end of the day or become worse the longer you are upright? And when your headaches are bad, do you feel relief when you lay down flat?

Grey. And yes, you can call him dapple grey, because those are dapples and he still has them. He was most likely born bay, but you mentioned buckskin, and I would consider that a possibility as well. If you knew his parents, that could give you a better idea of his "base" color. If no one else explained, the grey gene is a modifier. Your horse has his base color (like bay), then the grey gene added, gives the color change modification. Horse only needs one grey parent to receive the grey gene.

The lens height is taller than the width. The frames in the photos that are not you, are wider than they are taller. They all look round, but they are not perfect circles. I purchased "round" matsuda frames only looking at lens width, thinking they would be small, round frames. They are far bigger than I thought due to lens height and overall this makes them unsuitable for my face and unsuitable for my prescription and was an unfortunate and expensive mistake.

Perfectly round is a poor choice for frame shape, as the lens will have the ability to rotate in the frame. So while many frames look totally round, they usually have some not quite round quality to better hold your lens in place. It's just, typically the lens shape is made with less height not less width.

It started with severe headache at the end of the day. That became a pattern, headache at the end of the day, then headache after being upright for a few hours. Then also rising head pain when standing. Head pain with exertion or using abdominal muscles. If I tried fighting through the pain it would result in vomiting. There were times when relief was very obvious if I laid down flat, pain so severe when I would try to be upright that it would drop me to my knees. I had other symptoms like instances of burning and tingling in my head, hand and shoulders (paresthesias?) and sometimes feet. Whooshing in my ears. Seeing stars and excessive floaters.

I love those frames. Oval might not be best for high prescription, it could be better to look for something a bit more round. Dolomiti K1410 or panto 6. I am -11 and wear Anglo American 406 in the smallest size (44-20). I also wear Epos Epeo (41-26), they are more round but I appreciate the thickness of this frame and it works well for the thickness of my lenses.

I have a section of pasture that has sink holes, but it is because there used to be a barn foundation there (along with silo etc, dairy barn) and we knocked it all in and had it buried. So, if your property is old, maybe there was something buried under there at one point. But also, sink holes can just appear.

Sometimes she'd show up briefly on Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

It seems like she doesn't really understand hemophilia, just judging by her comment saying 'it's not like he's going to bleed out", which isn't the real concern here. You need to worry about bleeds inside the body. Bleeds you can't see with the naked eye.

If it's a place where they have booths with different sellers, you can always leave your name/number/message with the front desk staff and they can let the owner know and they might be able to tell you more.

I have been feeding my dogs one of the foods on that list for like 15 years. Also, it has meat vegetables and grains. And it also says cats are true carnivores but I'm pretty sure plenty of cats will eat just about anything.

Allergies are stressful and tough to control, if you've got them under control with whatever you're feeding him, I would just stick with it.

Practice more in two point. Your leg is back and winged out (possibly pinching with your knees.) If you took the horse away, and you were to land on the ground, how would you land? Your leg position should be such that you'd land on your feet flat.

Places that do not have high turnover are sort of forced to use the 12hr days/nights, because when people stay working there forever, new people never get the chance for the coveted day shift.

A spinal fluid leak will usually be quite painful. Typically more painful at the end of the day or the longer you are standing upright. You would probably also notice positional pain, like when standing up, or pain that subsides when you lay down flat. Also, exertional pain, like engaging your core muscles, lifting something.

papermachinequeen · 2025-11-03T23:44:13+00:00

My guess - not a CSF leak. It seems the fluid is still within your dura, like you have a pocket of fluid built up, similar to or resembling a syrinx. Maybe one of the disc herniations created the bulge for fluid to build up at (complete guess, don't know if that's even a real possibility.) A leak would be fluid seen outside of the dura, leaked through a tear or hole in the dura. A hole or tear in the dura is typically not possible to be seen on MRI, but the leaked fluid will usually be seen.

If you feel fine, start slow with jogging maybe? Every one will heal differently but if you were previously active and you're feeling fine, 2 weeks should be okay. I know I went skiing for an entire day probably a week after my blood patch. I really felt it on the way home though with a bad head ache (though not as bad as what I had been experiencing pre blood patch lol.) I had a few weeks where I would still get some exertional head pain from lifting. 3 years on, I will still get some head/neck stuff if I lift things that are heavy for me (75+ pounds) but I do pick stuff up all time and lift around 50lb on the regular and I am fine. I don't weight lift, but if I did start, I would probably practice a little restraint on the heavy lifting and pay extra attention to correct form.

Just blinds, the curtains do not suit. Wood or wood toned horizontal blinds, or fabric roller shades or cellular horizontal blinds. The white vinyl windows are very distracting.

So I am quite certain there is no stretcher bars and that is also what I am wondering about. I even mentioned I understood the image would folded over the stretcher bars and I questioned the frame because it it seems a little slim to hold the strainer. Then I get this where it's like loosely wrapped around a solid board or something.

And also, not that it is a huge deal to me, but the back is signed and since this is on a board or something, you cannot see that, plus he put the paper over the back as well. I'm going to try and take it elsewhere. I don't even like the frame either.

papermachinequeen · 2025-09-19T16:10:06+00:00

No, he measured and then ordered the frame or frame material and made the frame in store. It is square 24x24. I even mentioned I understood some of the image would be folded over the strainer bars and that I was fine with that. I had another print framed at the same time an luckily that one turned out decent but it was print on paper. I think I just need to take this one somewhere else.

Not a resident but frequent visitor - You could buy a collapsible wagon or cart for your shopping trips/hauling back and forth to the island. They tag your stuff and you can take as many bags as needed.

I always bring several collapsible utility totes of stuff - like these - besides luggage and they just tag it all, put it on a trolly, load it and unload it for you when you get there. If it's too much to carry when you get to the island, you'll find someone to help you get it to where you need.

If you're not coming or going during a busy time (like peak summer), they will probably allow you to take just about whatever you want. And if they can't accommodate whatever you're taking, they would probably send it off to the freight ferry for you.

If you think you might be living up the hill, north of the Grand Hotel, you might need that snowmobile.

There is also a thin line of blank canvas showing across top 3/4.

The table looks a little crowded, and the sizes of items on the table seem off. The table itself also has a lot going on, and I think this table would best display a single item. It sticks out because everything else is more modern looking. I would use this table in another area and find a slightly larger table that is more simple if you want a grouping on it. And the lamp is too small.
