Babe's Break!

Wednesday, July 01, 2009 7:46 PM

 Saturday was a beautiful day for a trail ride. My daughters, Sarah (L) and Claire (R), along with their instructor Lois (C) and I decided to take advantage of it! Although I figured out that I would "walk funny" after the ride, I had no idea how funny.... 

 

 Babe on Bailey!

Next big hill, there were two mountain bikers riding up one side and we were riding up the other side. Apparently, Bailey (at 17 hands tall) decided they made him nervous. At a full gallop, he went one direction and I went unwillingly in the other direction.

The mountain bikers carried me 1/2 mile to a shaded area and laid me to rest. No, not permanently...thank goodness!

Babe in the ER with her new "Break" on the right ankle

Now, I'm home and the news is a bit worse...not only do I have an air cast on my right ankle, but my left knee has a torn ACL, a torn MCL, a torn LCL and a torn Meniscus...

I'm in a full left leg brace anticipating surgery and months of therapy before I am back to normal. Well, I've never been "normal" anyway...

Don't worry, I'm hobbling around (yep, it's pretty darn painful) and I look like a "Transformer" Toy, but I have every intention of getting back on the horse...

except next time??? It's gonna be a Shetland Pony.

Oh, and I've decided that Percocet is my friend of the week.

xxoo,

Babe

About Babe with a Mane

My natural hair has not been seen for over 20 years. It has hidden under wigs and weaves, under toppik, colored sprays, couvre and dermatch. My growing hair is a significant burden. It takes too much time to try to fix it up to be presentable, too much money to try to fix, too much energy to worry about and conceal. Every day, I used to wish for great hair. Every day I was ashamed of my thin hair. Every day, I woke up feeling confident, feminine and sexy inside. Then, I looked in the mirror at my natural hair and those positive thoughts were robbed from me. My natural hair forced me to feel unattractive, timid and insecure. I know who I am inside and I wanted to project that image to everyone else. To do that, my hair had to change. Women who are bald or have very thin hair, are not considered "socially acceptable" in the general public's eye. I wanted to be considered socially acceptable, my natural hair wouldn't let me. My dream hair allows me to lead a normal life. I wake up to my guy nuzzling my neck while my soft hair is brushed aside. I jump in the shower to wash my hair. I look in the mirror to see a confident and sexy woman, looking back at me. I don't waste hours trying to disguise myself to fit in. I blow dry and curl my hair and start my day with a spring in my step. I don't catch others staring at my thin hair while trying to have a conversation with me. The same confident, self assurance that I feel inside is now projected on the outside. There are no further internal battles between true persona and an incongruous outward appearance. I am finally, after a lifetime of dreaming, able to project an image that reflects the confident, sexy, intelligent, feminine woman I truly am.

Not born with hair, but I've got the intelligence to find it, the job to pay for it, the patience to "stick" it on just right, the will to make it work, the confidence to wear it boldly and the smile to wear under it!
