A pain in the neck!

I started my stay-cation this week with a pain in my neck...literally. I was diagnosed with a bulged disc in my neck and I irritated it yesterday. Hopefully with some ibuprofen and heat I will be feeling better! Geez! But I get to be at home with all the animals and will hopefully finish cleaning up our Christmas stuff! :)

Pal has been on the Neoplasene for five weeks now and it still doing fabulous. He did start having some issues when it got around 80 degrees outside and we haven't turned on the A/C yet, but other than that, he is doing great. He has maintained his energy level and isn't losing any more weight. I would recommend this to product to anyone.

I'm nervous and excited at the same time since Savvy will start her treatment on Neoplasene tomorrow. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I'm very hopeful in how this will help her. She will have her large melanomas injected, the small ones will be treated topically and then we will feed it to her as well. This way we will hit the melanomas both externally and systemically.

We will not change her diet like we did for Pal. She will keep eating the same feed. One side effect is that she could get sores in her mouth from eating it, but not all horses have had problems with that so I will definitely keep an eye on it.  Everyone cross your fingers and say a prayer for us! I'm going to take pictures and blog about it every day for the first week. There might be some graphic pictures, just so you know.

This past week was Evie's 7th birthday. It's hard to believe I've had her for 7 years now. I think she has finally grown up. She was definitely a late bloomer!! I'm hoping she will grow just a little bit too and hit 16.2h, but that would be pushing it. I think this is her year to start going to school and be a horse. Who knows, she might even go to a show this year:)

Matt and I have been eating salad almost every night from the garden. It tastes amazing! The strawberries are already producing small green berries and the corn has sprouted. He has also been growing hydro lettuce. I don't know if I said that right, but he is growing lettuce under a light in a machine that runs constant water.....does that make sense? It's pretty cool. He is going to put the tomatoes in the ground in the next week or two. All I can think about it friend green tomatoes!!!! TOWANDA!!

I will post more pictures soon!
Rock on!
