You have a transplant and ride a horse....

Chris - it's totally fun!  I started riding horses back when I was 12. I stopped taking lessons (English) when I was 21. I totally loved it. No more jumping for me or heavy riding. My siatic nerve is seeing to that.

I'm going to have to pull a Caraid on this one.

Back in the '70s when I got my transplant I'm surprised they even let you leave the house.  Nothing that might jiggle the kidney was allowed.  No horse back riding, skiing, sports where there was even a hint of physical contact.  But being a young boy..forget it.  Lets just say if my parents or doctor knew only a fraction of the stuff I was doing they would have chained me to the bed.  My fistula stopped working because I was wrestling and the other kid kept grabbing my wrist. I snow and water skied.  Never did the horse riding myself because we didn't have horses where I grew up.  Once I was in one of those inner tubes that get dragged behind a motor boat.  The driver was determined to knock me out.  I went skidding across the water at what seemed 50 mph.  Finally hit a big wave and as I was told I looked like a rag doll flying through the air.

Remember I'm not a doctor so don't take my advice but a little horse ride sure why not.

As long as I can get on a horse this year, I'll b happy. Then I will post pics.

I don't plan on riding every weekend...I am getting old.     But it is nice to take a leisurely ride every now and then.
