I posted in the pets forum about Kyoti (a horse) colicking last night. What I didn't mention there was how much pain I'm in. Basic treatment for colic in a horse is to walk them. We walked literally for hours. He dragged me around. Walked on me. Fell on me once. I only got a couple of hours sleep last night and kept waking up from the pain. I guess I'm lucky this morning that I'm so exhausted the pain is sort of sitting next to me. Gawd help me when the pain hits.

Added to the physical slamming around I took is the emotional toll. I'm going to have to have the vet back this morning to put Kyoti down. We've done everything we can for him and he is still in horrific pain. I'm preaching to the choir talking about how emotional upheaval triggers flares. I'm anticipating a whopper.
