this morning started off really nice. we all got up and went to church, went to friday's for lunch, came home and took a nap. pretty much an average sunday for my family. well, my mom asked if we should go out to visit her best friend, marj, and see her new house and four horses. everything started out nicely. we brushed the horses, keira got to say hi to all of them, and got ready to ride. i started out by walking chester around the pen. after getting used to him, marj's niece, kira, led keira and i around the pen. sarah wanted to get on the horse and try to trot with him, but i told her that i wanted to first. this was either the wisest or stupidest decision that i have made, and we all know that i make some pretty stupid decisions. i don't really remember what happened. i know i was trotting with him and marj said, "good job, erika." and then i was like, all right let me do that again. big mistake!!!!! my left foot slipped out of the stirrup, and as it did the horse bucked, and i went flying off. my head bounced off of the ground, and i was just in a whole lot of pain. we called ems to come out and get me. great idea, marj lives off the beaten path. that much pain on a gravel road in an ambulance is not much fun. so i go to the hospital. and they cut off all of my clothes. hello, my mom had just taken me shopping, everything was new, even my undies. they did a cat scan and x-rays. they thought i was going to need surgery for some bleeding, but they said that it would clot on it's own. all that time and nothing was wrong. oh well better to be safe than sorry. i'm just in a whole bunch of pain. go figure.
