Oh, yes, worth the caps: TWO WEEKS.
Vet came out yesterday to do the barn. It was the first time that I think so many of us were there and not really riding. I got there a little early, but waited my turn. I played photographer.
Archie was feeling pretty damn good.
When we finally got up to the cross ties, we immediately addressed the leg.
Not the best photo, but the end results are fucking great: vet says that between a week and a half to two weeks, we can stop wrapping and start riding.

| Are you shitting me? For real? |
 |
| Hey, doctor vet man! |
 |
| I made a mistake. |
 |
| A big mistake! |
 |
| I asked my husband the other day what color my hair is. Surprisingly, he popped out with my own words: dead mouse brown. |
So here are the details on the leg: last Wednesday, when I was pretty much at my wits' end, Archie's leg was swollen, painful, and draining from a random point away from the actual cut. I was pretty much acknowledging that surgery was imminent. And then Friday, I had my horse back.
In talking to the vet about it, we figure that the leg did whatever it was going to do to resolve itself. I asked about radiographs, but the vet said that if the sequestrum were absorbed, we would only see a demineralization. And if the bone were spat out, we would still just see a hollow. I owe the vet a photo in a week, but we think the leg is done. Archie certainly is. The little shit ran off last night when I was changing his wraps.
