Im just after sympathy!

I was bringing a pony in from the field this morning, hes a bolshy sod and normally I ride him in with headcollar and leadrope because when your on his back hes an angel, on foot hes a git! Anyway I couldnt get on him quick enough before he legged it. He went up a dead end part of our field, realised it was a dead end and came charging back towards me. I stood infront of him, which did slow him down but then he pushed past me. I had my hands out to grap the leadrope, missed and got him. Dislocation occured but I still managed to grab him with my other hand!

I managed to lead the other horse out in field before the tears came! My dad (bless him) said "I hope you dont have kids cos you'll never cope with the pain" - like he knows what its like to give birth! Men!!! He then went on to tell me to take his barrow of manure and tip it....er hello?!?! I have just dislocated my thumb (by this time it had popped back in but thats not the point - it still hurt!!!)

I cannot drive for 5 days, was sent home from work today, cannot horse ride for 5 days but I did manage to tidy up and my mum took me food shopping! My mum always looks after me - not like my bloody dad! lol.

OUCH! That must really have hurt. The only things I've done is stave my thumb, or sprain my ankle. Both hurt enough thank you very much, but to actually dislocate something.....oweee......

Hope it feels better soon, make sure your dad helps you with bringing the horses in now ;-)

Can just imagine how that would feel... Ouch!!! My son dislocated his elbow in kindergarten and seeing that was painful and funny looking, had about 5hrs in the emergency till it was all back in place and x-rayed to make sure all was right.

(((hugs)))

OUCH!

I always wanted a horse until I found out it was a dangerous sport just keeping them!

Very painful Tracey!  Hope you're feeling better soon.

Oh!! nasty, never done it myself but my OH did and it must have been painful, I drove him in the car to our local A & E not many miles but it took forever because I had to keep stopping for him to chuck up, but then again and not surprisingly my OH is a man ;-)

Hope it is beginning to heal and you are beginning to feel better.

Im feeling much better thank you. Ive taken the bandage off and just put it back on when it aches. I like the sympathy looks you get when you try and lift things lol. People have been really generous though and offered to carry things for me!

I sympathise with people who break arms/hands - its drove me crazy being without my hand for 2 days never mind weeks/months!
