It isn't a fun topic, but I agree with the title of the thread.

But I am a pessimist, so who knows...

Randall,

I said the same thing to Byk the other day. I saw the CBS special about him and he looks like a totally different horse and him dragging that rear leg is a sad sight.

I will say though, I am glad it isn't my decision, not sure if I could make it.

Didn't see the CBS special, that's tough to hear but I'm not surprised....This is one of those situations where you want to be wrong about it.

he doesn't drag the leg, but it is awkward since he can't flex his ankle--so he has a bad hitch in his step. it is sad to see, knowing how he was before. but damn, that's like saying you don't want to live if you're stuck in a wheelchair.

i don't like to get 'mushy' or emotional, but that tape brought tears to my eyes.
