Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I took a header off one a horse yesterday.. that'll teach me to ride the young ones! ...I landed on my head and shoulder... and got a giant road rash (hay meadow actually :-) on the left side of my face. DH took me to town for X-rays... they sent me to the city for a CT scan (because I was out between the time I dove for the dirt and the time DH came roaring down the hay meadow) ...anyhow all the x-rays (had to get a second set in the city since the doc here didn't send them with us) ..and the CT scan all came back good. Doc said I had a brain...and nothin' broken. My shoulder and whole left side hurts like *$ & ^....very swollen around my left eye. They gave bactracin ointment to use..and a script for Vicodin. I started taking arnica as soon as we got back to the house, dh cleaned up my face and talked me into going into town for x-rays.. and he's pushing the water at me. anyone think of anything else I should be doing? I cannot soak in our bathtub..it won't stay plugged.. ancient thing! I could go soak in one of the stock tanks with livestock slobbers, goldfish and algae if I must <just kidding!> Rosie..Black Hills..South Dakota Sisters Soaps & Sundries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
