Stormy day! My day started with dropping the kids off at Boxholm VBS, then having the vet come look at Traveler. Our main Vet, Jessica is going to work for USDA. Now we are trying a new vet, Carly. She came today with x-ray and ultrasound machines. She was here for two hours. She blocked him in several different places on his foot and in the end injected his coffin area and tendon with cortisone. We did rule out navicular, but never did get a firm diagnosis. It is so frustrating and Traveler seemed like a pin cushion with all the needle pokes he took. He is so awesome, he stand like a statue while being worked on. During the two hours, the weather radio chimed in 7 times with various weather warnings. Then it came, the rain, thunder, and then hail. Everything sounds much louder in a tin shed. The hail was very sporadic, here and there. It was also various sizes from tiny to golf ball. When a big one hit the shed, it sounded like we were being shot at. Then it came down in buckets. It poured and poured as we watched it gush down over the gutters. Finally it calmed down and the vet left. I took one horse back to his pen and as I walked back the winds picked up. By the time I got to the house it looked like a hurricane with heavy wind and rain. This kind of weather continued all day. There was wind, hail and even tornado damage all over central Iowa.
