Well, I did it again. For the second time in a month I had to visit the Insta-Care. I have made it through most of my life without much incident but lately I am feeling accident prone.
I did a dumb thing.
I walked behind Skip, our paint horse, and spooked him and he kicked me. He was tired because we had ridden all day and he was stirred up because we had a semi there loading a cherry-picker used to put up our new hay barn (another post) and that is the only excuse that I have.
My bad and his bad.
There are about 12 stitches on top and 20 underneath. I didn't realize how bad it was because it went numb immediately. I was able to help Alma load some steers and unsaddle the horses before I had a look and realized I might need a stitch. I drove to my mom's house and she took me home and then the girls took me in--dirty and smelly-again just like the last time I went to the Insta-care.
