horse accidentttt
ok so do i have a story for you...
well saturday tess and i went up to de and all was good, but then brooke wanted me to ride Layla (this horse i had been training for a few months) to some people that wanted to possibly adopt her. so i was like ok sure. and i took her down to the ring and trotted her around and she was fine and pretty calm. so then i was like almost done and i told the people that were down there (it was a mom and her 16 year old daughter) that i would take her over a little jump for them. so i took her over this little cross rail that we had jumped a kagillion times the week before. and she was fine with. but after it she decided to canter and then randomly started GALLOPING around the ring. and ive been taken off with before, but this was rediculous. i felt like i was riding in the preakness. i mean she was an ex racehorse, so she must have thought she was in the preakness. so she galloped around a while, and i was still trying to get her to stop, but i just couldnt, she was going way too fast and she wouldnt listen to me. so shes heading straight towards the 4 foot fence that goes around the ring. and i thought she was just going to slam on the brakes and i would fly off, but instead she JUMPS the fence. and somehow i stayed on her as she jumped it, and then her back right leg didnt clear it, so she flipped over on her side and rolled over me, squishing me into the mud. and then when she was getting back up, she kicked me on the side of the face with her back hoof. and my leg somehow got stuck in the reins or something, so i quickly kicked my leg out of the reins so i wouldnt get dragged up to the barn because i knew she was going to take off galloping. so im just laying there and then i roll over on my hands and knees and you know when you get the wind knocked out of you and you can;t breathe? well thats what happened to me so i was making this really weird noise and the people that saw it happened rushed over to me and im sure i scared the shit out of them with the noise i was making since i couldnt breathe. and then BIG CHELS comes down and is like "are you ok?" and its obvious that im not i mean i cant get up and everything hurts, but anyways then shes like "why dont you lay down, i think thats the best thing for you to do. but since im a lifeguard, i know thats possibly the worst thing for me to do, because my neck hurt and i could tell right away that my collar bone was broken. so brooke and other people come down and are like do you want to call your mom. so my mom said just to go home and then they would takeme to a hospital when igot home. so tess had to drive me the 45 min drive home. and i was in sooo much pain the whole time. so when i get to the hospital its not crowded so they take me back right away
and they take blood and stuff like that and omg the worst part was when they had to take me out of the shirt i had on and give me a gown to wear, because it was sooo hard for me to bend my arm and i almost passed out from the pain
so i went back for x-rays and they took some of my foot, ribs, neck, and collar bone.
then im waiting in the room forever and the nurse comes in with this GINORMOUS cup that has some sort of contrast stuff in it that highlights your digestive tract so that when you have the CT they can clearly see everything. so thats when i started like bawling, because i had to drink 1/2 of it in 1 hr and 1/2 of it the next hour, so i would be there foreverrr. but then they just decided to inject me with the stuff since i was a trauma patient.
ok so then i get a sling and i got to the hospital at 11:00 and leave at 5:00
They sent me home with 15 percocets and im just about out of them now which sucks. the pain is soo bad in the morning because since i sleep in the same position all through the night, im really tight in the morning. i couldnt go to school monday or tuesday. but i went today to talk with my teachers about finals and stuff. since its my right arm, i cant write anything without hurting the collarbone. and my left handwriting isnt legible
so so far my teachers have said...
BARR: have a nice summer, read the rest of the book and then turn it back in. no finals
HSU: hes supposed to call me tonight to tell me if i need to take the final or not
LEAR: have a nice summer, already took the final
HOEFLER: make notecards for the final and then take the final and come back to class (im not sure he understands that i cant write. and im a little dissapointed with this lol)
THOMPSON: take your time coming back to school and we'll see if you should take the final or not.
BRADLEY: have a nice summer, dont have to take the final
STICKLES: no final, finished with class
so i guess im supposed to come to school for history and math. which sucks. but maybe i can talk davey into not making me take the final, because it wont change my grade anyway.
ok so theres my life. i have to be in the splint for 2 months. Lisa just came by and brought me balloons!! very exciting
so yeah feel free to stop by and visit! it sucks staying home all day.
ok well see you all later i suppose!
PEACE OUT YOUNGINS
