I have an Appaloosa HH I really wanted to utilize for some new foundation stock. I was running pretty low on funds, so I decided to just create what I could. My fifth horse was a 250,000 hjb lotto winner! THANK YOU, AMMIT! Now I can create all 30 of my HH : )

In other REALLY HAPPY NEWS, I finally found and saw a doctor today who is familiar with my genetic disease. He doesn't want to have me as a patient (for a good reason: my medical needs are beyond his scope of expertise), BUT HE KNOWS MY DISEASE! That is SUPER big to me. He also gave me some referrals to medical centers that possibly CAN help me. My disease is not common. It's a "doctors ask me 'how do you spell that?'" level of uncommon. It took 20 years (YEARS) of searching for me to even get a diagnosis. "Yay" for rare genetic mutations with limited research and knowledge. To hear a doctor say to me for the first time EVER "yes, I am familiar with and have seen other patients this disease" is like a birthday/Christmas/almost-as-good-as-getting-a-pony level of present.

Also, any other EDS zebras here? For your sake, I hope not. But if you are here, I am sure you understand my level of euphoria right now.

What has been a happy moment in your week? Game life, real life, your pet's life. I want to hear about something that made you smile!
