Home from the hospital - again

After another scare, and spending the week in the hospital, Jim is back home. It appears that after the last operation, a small piece of plaque and a blood clot had blocked a vein in his heart. It caused a lot of pain and his blood pressure shot sky high, but after lots of tests, the doctors seem to think that everything is now under control and are treating it with medication. It was really scary for both of us, he's spent a month out of the last two in hospital. and we're both hoping that things are going to be better now.
I got back to doing something with the horses today, a short session in-hand with Remy and a ridden session in the school with Anky.
Remy was quite upbeat and forward today. Good for the lungeing, but a little too distracted for the in-hand. I had an extra ten minute session on the yard this evening,working on the basics, and he was wonderfully relaxed and focussed, it was a good session and  I don't feel quite so worried now that I'm confusing the s**t out of him.
I've borrowed a Suber Pad to try with the new Lexington (really got it for Remy, but used it on Anky today) so we'll see how it goes. 
I'm a bit down after the events of the past month or so. After the initial relief of Jim being ok, I'm now feeling very tired. I think it's carrying over to my work with the horses and as always when I'm unsettled I'm starting to doubt myself and my abilty to train them, especially my very impressionable, precious young horses. It's a big responsibility...........
Ricky came down this afternoon for a chat and to arrange our musical afternoon next week, she came down on her new bike :-) She's over sixty five, a lttle dynamo and I love her to bits.
