@athenalee Hi again, Athena. If that first posting of mine sounded a bit short and cryptic, it's because I work with my cell phone when texting and my fingers sometimes stray to a wrong place as I'm pecking away. Then, I lost my beginning message and when I recovered it, the "make appointment " pop-up kept interfering with every word I typed and I could no longer see my sentence ! 🙃
What I wanted to tell you was that it was a great interview you had with Rosemary, and we learned so much more about your awesome life in that wonderful small town in Vermont. And you love horses! Me too!
I've had great trail riding adventures in the Canadian Rockies back in my better days. Had horses and Charolais cattle too.
I don't think I was aware of your neuropathy diagnosis but it's good to hear you've had a neurologist involved. I have severe pain in my lower legs, mostly at night, but I've got so many other health issues that no doctor seems to address that one. Do you have any solution for relief? The only thing I've found that helps enough for me to fall asleep at night is Voltaren. But the relief doesn't last very long. Warmest regards, Laurie
