Some day I will grow up ......
« on: June 14, 2014, 11:42:06 pm »
 Last Friday evening I was going to take My horse for his  usual run with the 4-wheeler. Something spooked the horse and the lead rope whipped around the throttle. It popped a wheelie, broke the hasp and I went over backwards. the four wheeler ended up against the garage wall going wide open.  I managed to crawl over and get it stopped and got the horse who had been calmly eating grass .  I got him hooked back up, we went for our run, I knew I had hit my back and head pretty hard but thought it would be ok.  Nope. :o ;D about midnight I called Rory, my son, and he took me to the ER in Jamestown. They put me on a helicopter and I spent the next 5 days in ICU with a concussion and a brain bleed. Would have been out of ICU sooner but the hospital was full. But they found me a room on Thursday and I was out on Friday. I have major head aches but it could have been a lot worse.  They say it will be a week or so before I get back to normal.  First we have to figure out what is "normal" for me. :)

OMG Judy that is terrible.  Luckily you are still in one piece.   I'm with you no one has ever discovered what is normal with me either.  We must be sisters from a different Mother.   ;D ;D ;D  Now you take care and leave the horse in the paddock for a while.  (((HUG)))

Glad you are doing better, Judy,
I hope the head-aches don't last too long.
More prayers your way that your recovery is complete and there
aren't any residual effects.
God Bless! Spirithorse

Well Judy, that is distressing to hear. I am so glad that you will be "OK",. Take it easy and from now on let your horse ride the quad and you trot alongside. Couldn't resist that one. ;D

Wow, Judy! I suppose you are lucky nothing worse happened. But I am sorry to hear about it.  I hope you feel better soon. Take care. ((((HUGS)))))

There is something to say about wearing a helmet...  Maybe you were and that is what kept you from being more seriously hurt.  Glad it wasn't more serious and hope you heal quickly.  Scary scary story.

My goodness Judy, That's the last thing you need. You were reasonably lucky this time so you take care and get back to normal quickly and be careful.

HUGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
