Please pray for JerseyWendy

[strudel]

I hope all is ok, but don't panic too much because we haven't heard. She'll be off having x-rays and getting checked out, and if the hospitals where she is are anything like ours, she'll be there for an age, even if she ends up being given the all clear from any broken bones. Being in pain, she won't be thinking about going on the internet (they might even have given her some sedating painkillers and she'll be sleeping) she can't login if she's asleep or waiting around in hospital with no computer.

It's worrying not knowing, but let's all be optimistic about why we haven't had any update yet and be patient to hear that she's not badly hurt and is on the mend?

[JerseyWendy]

Hi guys! Thank you so much for your prayers and concern!!!

I feel like I've been hit by a dump truck.

Was having a GREAT ride, and as I was getting ready to canter Dakotah spooked, jumped into the air, did a 180 and took off like bat out of hell. I should have probably been better prepared because he's done this MANY times, but I was too complacent yesterday, and did not expect this at all. Well, I went airborne and landed on my right side.

All the wind was knocked out of me, and it took a good while to catch my breath. When I tried sitting up I felt my right shoulder was hurting. When I tried standing up I felt my right hip - and let's just say it was painful beyond description.

Linda (instructor) helped me get into my car and I drove him (I live 5 minutes from the stables). NOBODY was home!!! I broke down, sat in my car and just cried. Made it into the house and somehow managed to get my boots off.

Called the husband, who was picking out car parts with our son at nearby junk yards. They got home about 30 minutes later.

Hubby helped me get out of clothes, and into a steaming hot tub with Epsom Salts. I also took 2 heavy duty pain killers at that time that I had from my dentist. I felt NO pain in the bath tub.

Then I got nauseous from the pain meds.

Lounged around downstairs, unable to get comfortable. My lower right sternum and ribs hurt pretty badly when I would breathe deeply, coughed and/or sneezed, but my hip was just the worst.

Told hubby I would need to go to ER if I didn't feel any better in the morning. Had a VERY rough night!! Each time I'd turn I'd be up from the pain. Fell asleep some time after 3AM and slept until 8AM. That NEVER happens! I haven't slept past 7 in ages!!!

Chest is most improved this morning!!! I can breathe and cough now and it barely hurts. Shoulder is pretty sore. Hip still hurts quite badly, but I doubt anything is broken since I CAN walk. The MOST comfortable position for me is to sit like a Native American...if that makes any sense at all.

It's been over 30 years since I've fallen from a horse....but I'm pretty sure it's gonna take a "little" while for this Humpty Dumpty to feel "normal" again.

 

[ParkersMom]

Thank God you are mostly okay...hope you feel 100% soon

 

[MarciaLove]

Oh im so glad your ok! Hope you feel better soon!!

 

[tab_xo]

Oh Wendyyyyyyy!! <3

I am so glad it isn't anything too serious!!

I thought it would of had to do with Dakota having a spook.. Silly horses! They all have their moments!

Please go to the ER and get scans if you are still very sore today!

Sounds like you are just going to be a bit bruised up for a while!!


Hip injuries are the worst... Because when you sneeze, it KILLS!!!! After i came off Kyros, each time i was about to sneeze i would cringe, ready for the shoot of pain



And Strudel, when i was in hospital i was sitting on facebook, with drips into me, getting scans... The younger generation is online all the time hahahaha




Take it very easy today! <3 XOXO

You had us all in a huge worried mess as you can see!

 

[strudel]

The younger generation is online all the time hahahaha

Oh yes, you young'uns and your gadgets.

 

[JerseyWendy]

...
Take it very easy today! <3 XOXO...

I'm moving about the pace of a snail, and will make NO attempts to go any faster. :54:
...and I will get as much sleep today as I can.

XOXO <3

 

[Terry57]

Oh Wendy, I have been reading this thread with terror! So glad you are feeling a little better, but I think you should still go get checked out. My Aunt fell and her hip hurt, but she was able to walk so brushed it off. When it didn't feel any better in a few days she went to the ER and it was in fact broken! Please Please get xrays just to make sure!!! You are in my prayers.

 

[MomtoPercy]

You silly goose scaring us like that!! Phew! So very glad you're not too badly hurt.

Please go to the ER for some x-rays. You could have injuries you're not aware of. Take it easy, ok?

((Gentle hugs))

THANK YOU LORD !!!!
God answered my prayers !!!!!

I am so happy to hear that Wendy I am actually crying from relief :11:
You doubt that anything is broken, I pray so.
Did you have yourself check out at the Er or your Dr?
Rather be safe than sorry !!!
I bet you are hurting like hell, injuring the hip is painfully sore.
Glad your chest is better, how bad is your shoulder? bruised I guess.

Love ya Batty !!!

[Gizmomania]

Oh, owie! I can only imagine how much agony you must be in from that fall. Please take care of yourself, and feel better soon.

 

[crimson]

now we call breath a sigh of relief!!!!
I was so worried about you, you poor thing....you must be incredibly sore.

are you sure you didn't break anything??, if you haven't you are very very lucky!!

stay well, my friend, and take 'er easy.
sending gentle hugs your way
Beth
