Goddamn this damned horse. He is going to kill me.
I had a pretty bad fall on Wedsnesday night...had to go the hospital. I still can't hardly walk or get up/ down. They did xrays and stuff, but it's only pulled ligaments in my back. Really hurts though. Very mobility-reducing.
For the record, I'm really not that shit of a rider...It's just this horse missed his calling as a saddle-bronc. I've never had a horse buck so well. I managed to yank him in a circle, which everyone says keeps a horse from bucking...but he just managed to buck in a spin like a bull. Man, I'm almost proud.
Anyways. I need to be working right now! I'm so frustrated. My problem is the pain, and that for some reason these days, every painkiller/ anti-inflam drug I take makes me puke. Even just Advil. This is a new thing...
So I've been rubbing arnica on the spot and icing it...Are there any holistic cures I could look into? Is there anyway I can get back to work sooner? This sucks. Would a massage help? The doctor just said 'expect to be sore for a week...then you get back on your horsey, okay?'. He was one of those rural hospital old timey doctors. I dunno. I might be grasping at straws here, but anything that could help me get moving around again sooner would be appreciated! Thanks a bunch.
