Let's Join Hands Together For Melissa

[Cassie1]

Today is Melissa's surgery, and I thought it might be nice to make a horse-friend chain by cyber holding hands together for this trauma she is/will be going through. I thought it would be nice for us to state our name (real or handle) and where we are from...if you would like to say something for/to her, then do that or you can just say who you are and where you're from and extend your hand out to the next person..

So...ok...I'll start..

Hi Melissa, this is Ginger, Cassie1 from Damon, Texas and I want you to know that I am thinking of you today and sending postive thoughts your way for your surgery today and recovery. I'm so glad that Maggie made it to your life before your day today and that you got to have some smiling moments before the surgery..you are strong and I know you will come thru all this just fine. Wanted you to know that you are loved!

Hi Melissa. My handle is Evander's Challenge named after my retired racehorse who won grade 2 sweepstakes races. I live in South Pasadena, in Southern California. All of us on this board are hoping for a speedy recovery with a minium amount of pain. I had surgery on my shattered right wrist a little over a year ago, and have not been able to ride. Healing takes time. It won't be easy, but hang in there. Evander and I hope your surgery is successful, and you have a speedy recovery. You have a lot of friends on this board and we are all pulling for you.
