Last Monday, I had an awkward incident happen at the horse farm I work at. I was out, trying to put a halter on a young horse, when one of the others it was turned out with got bit by a horsefly and turned around a kicked me right in the side of the knee. So, I took care of it right away, icing it and elevating it, but the bruise was really nasty and it was pretty painful. I eventually went to the ER in Hamilton on Sunday morning to get it checked out, and there's a hematoma (a collection of blood) at the back of my knee and bad bruising to the muscles and tendons. So, I have a follow-up with my family doctor on Monday, so hopefully things can be cleared up then and maybe find out of there's other ways to help with healing it.

So far it sounds like a slow recovery, but we'll have to wait and see.
