Horseback riding is something I haven’t done in 35 years. I had a chance to go last Monday on a beautiful trail in the company of friends and a beagle. Unfortunately, soon after I got this shot the horse took off and I came off. An emergency room visit confirmed I have no broken bones, thankfully, but still couldn’t lift my left leg. It’s been five days and I’m getting around OK with a walker. The hospital gave me an NSAID pain reliever prescription (dude… seriously?) Luckily we’ve got a stash of the good stuff from a 1999 surgery that’s still potent. Since my fall, we’ve added 11 baby chicks to the farm that I haven’t seen yet. As soon as I’m feeling up to a trip to the barn, I’ll post a photo. Can’t wait to see them myself!
A Lovely Ride Spoiled

OH Connie!! I’m sooo sorry…;0) Your still not able to get around after 5 days? Should you…maybe?..go and see another Dr…maybe…..?. That just doesn’t sound right having to use a walker and no broken bones. Sending lots of healing thoughts your way. ;0)

Well good grief- what did you do to that poor horse to make him take off like that? 😉 I’ve landed on my ass a couple of times in the company of horses – no fun! Hope you’re feeling back to your old self SOON!! Those baby chicks need you!!!

Bummer. I hate it when that happens. Hope you get to feeling better soon. You have to much work to do to be hurt.

Yikes! Hope you feel better soon.

Oh no! Hope you’re not too badly off 😦 My mum rides and is forever falling off her horse. I think I might have to craft some sort of pink padded riding suits for you gals!
