No pictures to share this time but I am having cataract surgery on my left eye on 8-22-12 and then my right eye on 8-29-12. I will start some eye drops on Sunday before and continue on for a week for one and then 6 weeks for a third set of drops. I am looking forward to being able to see better and am told that that will be immediately after surgery. The world will look differently Praise God.
I will be limited to 20 pounds of lifting for a week per eye.
Updates after surgery.

A couple of weeks ago, i got home from work to find that Cricket had cut his hind pastern pretty badly. Realizing it was in a jointed area i knew stitches wouldn't help but wrapping it would.  At first it didnt want to start healing but i prayed and God has answered my prayers. He gave me direction in doctoring the area and Cricket's cut is healing nicely. I hope to be able to start back to riding soon, maybe in a couple of weeks.
He is getting his hooves trimmed this afternoon so will be more than ready when the cut is healed well enough.
In the meantime, i am enlarging his stall so he will hopefully be safer in it. He needs it in inclement weather, be it stormy or brrr cold outside.
This is Cricket dressed in his best out on a ride a couple of months ago when it was a bit cooler.
