OOps

Well, it finally happened.  I got kicked by a horse.  The filly I'm working with decided she didn't like being tied and brushed and let me know about it with her back foot.  Up, out and around.  Or what is commonly known as a cow kick.  I was soo stunned that I didn't even give her a kick back.  She left a nice looking bruise on my thigh about 4" by 4".  It is now blue, purple with some green tinge to it.  It is deep enough that I was lame last night and could not bear any weight.  Normally I wouldn't think twice about it but since I take an anticoagulant (rat poison aka coumadin) I have to be careful. 

I called the doc and asked what he would suggest and he didn't seem too concerned since it was on the front of my thigh.  The muscle mass is enough to protect the underlying veins and arteries.  So, I have a deep bruise but I'm walking today.  I can't lift anything but right now it feels like a very sore muscle, which it is.

Band of Brothers is on the History channel right now and it is really neat listening  and recognizing names from the Call of Duty games I play.  Sad thing is that I remember from the games, not from any history class I may have taken over 20 years ago.

Have a good weekend all!

Keep on Go
