Well as you probably know, I'm not the most graceful person in the world, and I have a gift for getting injured...99% of the time very stupidly too. As you also know I love horseback riding and will jump at any chance to go. As you also know I am very stubborn and pretty tough in the ways of pain.
Well, Marie and I were getting ready to go, I was going to ride Rocky who hasn't been ridden much and have been excited to make him my own personal project. This morning we were all ready to go and I was leaning against my door when...
Background story:
About four girls lived in the room I am in before me. They left behind some wire shelves. When I first moved in I saw them and the nails in the wall and decided to put them up. (the nails were smaller than the holes and I had been meaning to get bigger nails...
So I was leaning against the door when it knocked the shelves off the wall and onto my foot. I yelped and looked down...within seconds my foot was black and blue. Lovely. Lots of pain. I sat down for a few, surely it would just go away, most things like this do within a few minutes. I got on my boots and we got in the car. After parking, walking to the tack shed I got super light headed, nauseous, saw stars and then black, in fighting to not pass out completely I sat down. I really wanted to ride. I fought to ride, but only half heartedly, I knew it would be stupid. And so I didn't and now I sit here, foot elevated, frozen peas on the injury, and the swelling growing. Lovely. I can barely walk as the swelling is a good portion of my foot.
Oh why, oh when will I have a good story to go with these things? As you may also know, I can exagerate. This time I am not, unfortunately. Thats all!
