More broken!

Hello everybodies. How are you? I am fabulous and not fabulous at the same time. I feel great, and would like to get back to pony riding and doing enduring practice please. Except I can't. Remember when I got my leg stuck in the gate and broke free from my tiny pen when I was in Pony Prison? Well that poorly leg got all swelled up, and it never went completely leg shaped again, though it did shrink. Cyd figured it might get better when I could do moving. Then a bit ago, maybe 2 or 3 weeks, it got all puffed up again. We did cold hosing (I hate it so much!) and some bandage, and it went down some. Cyd had found some new scratches on my leg, so figured that's why it was swelled. It went down kinda like before, better but not how it used to be. Then on Sunday my hoof trimmer came to do my feeties, and Cyd went "Argh!" My leg was fat again. More cold hosing, and wearing of my ice boots. I got some butes too. No help. It wasn't getting better this time. Still not lame though, so that's something. 
At least I am still ridiculously good looking!
Luckily my pony doctor was coming to check in my mouth and fix my tooths today anyway, so Cyd sent her a message that could we please add my fat leg to the list. She looked at my ouchy leg, and decided we should take some pictures of my bones. Again! That's the third time I had bones pictures taken recently. I'm going to start glowing soon! Radioactive Bugsy! Well, guess what showed up on my xray? I have broken one of my bones. Completely broken, there's a piece just hanging out in my leg all by its lonesome. That's not really ideal. My pony doctor sent my pictures of my bones to another pony doctor who works at the hospital. He wants to see me in person in 2 weeks, and they will take more pictures of me. It sounds likely that I will have an operation to take out the fragment that broke off. Us enduring ponies work so hard with our legs, that we wouldn't want it to hinder me. It sounds like it's usually a successful surgery, and I will end up right as rain. In the meantime I get to have more butes, and I have a bandage snug on my leg. It's unlikely that this will change anything, but it might help make my leg get a bit better. In the meantime, we hope I don't find another way to hurt myself! 

Tooth filing time!
In other news, my tooths look pretty good. They needed some fixing cos for some being pointy, and not being level, and I had a crack that had some food stuck in, so it's lucky we checked. No periodontal disease and falling out tooths to add to my list of maladies, please. Phew!
