Ho hum 
Sorry, long!!
Not had a good day, was riding out at work and my horse ran up the back end of another horse as we were about to jump off at the bottom of the gallops. Cue horse in front bucking and booting me right in my knee. Screamed some swear words but stood up and went up the gallops in pain, luckily coming back down the rest of the string walked so I didn't have to stand up again. Was sent back to the yard, knee wasn't hurting but I felt all weird and sick and wanted to cry but wasn't sure why.Got back and got off, someone took my horse to do her up and I had to go into the office to go in the accident book. My knee still wasn't hurting walking across the yard to the office so thought I was fine. When I got in there the lady who is the first aider asked if I was okay and I said I was fine. She then looked a bit worried when I sat down saying, "You must have cut it, there's blood on your jeans." Then I was a bit worried as I was wearing jods under my jeans but thought as it didn't hurt it couldn't be that bad, so imagine the shock I got when I took my jeans off and pulled up my jods and saw a massive cut, so deep I could see the bone in my knee
Quickly covered it up and burst into tears (not sure why though!) and was taken to hospital. They x-rayed it and said it wasn't broken or anything so that was good, I then had to have seven stitches in it and had a tetnus booster. I hate needles and hate pain .. so it's lucky it wasn't painful as I think I'd have screamed the place down. Off work now for 10 days, so have come home as I live at work, which is good in a way, but Ethel is kept just down the road from work so now I wont see her for ages Luckily I have a good friend at work who is happy to do her the whole time I'm off and I can't thank her enough but I'm gonna miss her loads :/ Hey ho.. these things happen around horses I guess ..
