Hello all!
As some of you know I had a fall off my thoroughbred four weeks ago now during a jump lesson. He spun right and I went left from a canter which has happened a thousand times since I started riding.
In my defence he is EXTEMELY sharp and when he says no he really says no!
Anyway I landed on my feet, but felt my right ankle 'go'. Most horrendous thing (my first ever break and I'm 21) and not something I want to repeat in a hurry as I am, quite frankly, a total wuss.
Anyway I screamed and rolled around and cried whilst they cut off my new Ariat boots
() then cleaned the ambulance out of morphine and still didnt feel weird (as im told ypu do when you have morphine) when I got to hospital.
Turned out I'd dislocated my ankle (majority of the pain I think, as it felt so much better after being set) and broken my ankle in three places.
Week in hospital and an op later, I went home. Have since had stitches out and a 'proper' cast rather than the back slab.
Have only seen my boy twice (relying on people driving me there) and he's out stuffing his face turning feral. The YO is being great looking after him. Anyway enough waffle here's some photos!
The day before the fall...
The X-ray
And war wound
And a couple from my visits.
Lack of horse interaction is killing me!
