This week has been a long one. Ryan was riding one of the young horses he is training when she suddenly went into a nice buck with all 4 legs up and the head tucked. Unfortantely, the mare one that 'battle' and Ryan came off with a nice front sommersault. He landed HARD on his back. This was not a fall you get up from either! He layed there for some time to catch his breath and try to sort out what happened. After a few minutes he got back up, and like any cowboy would do, got back on. He rode her briefly to let her know she didn't win the 'war' and then he got off of her again. After about an hour of sitting around and realizing the pain was not going away I finally convinced him to go to the emergency room.
Luckily, nothing was broken, but Ryan was pretty banged up. So badly I had to literally pull him up just to sit up. He was prescribed pain meds, but they were running out so (again) he finally convinced himself (again after much prodding from me) to go to the doctor. Ryan is not a fan of doctors so I knew it was serious when he agreed to go to the doctor to get more drugs and make sure nothing was torn, etc. (The xrays from the hospital showed no broken bones.) The doc said he would be out til at least Saturday so Ryan is going stir crazy dealing with the pain and the annoyance of being home all day and not working. He is starting to get better. He drove his truck yesterday for the first time and is beginning to move around more for short periods of time (with the help of drugs of course). We are hoping the anti-inflammatories and the muscle relaxers will help get him back in order.
So, needless to say, it's been a long week! Everything else is going well. The baby is growing. I am going to try and get some pics of me (and baby) sometime soon to post.
God Bless!
