Lots of bruising. 2 days later I end up in the emergency room complaining of sever burning pain in my hip and leg. Seems this is the blood flowing into the bruising. Doctor gave me pain pills and told my husband this called for at least 2 days of breakfast in bed. She even wrote a script for it. LOL. Sorry to say it didn't happen.<br /><br />We have had horses for 25 years and this is the first time I have been hurt. Still have torn ligaments in my ankle. Seems to me even with a split on your arm you still need to "laze around". Don't want to overdo it yet. <br /><br />LindaLinda Curriernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-57895153693159053332009-12-15T16:25:00.835-06:002009-12-15T16:25:00.835-06:00see, yet another good reason for chips for breakfa...see, yet another good reason for chips for breakfast. no dishes.lois greimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758677401591191607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-71671101231951482762009-12-15T16:11:29.757-06:002009-12-15T16:11:29.757-06:00YAY on the weight loss Cindy!

The Eagle back 40 (aka my 20-20 thighs--length, of course) has long yielded the best hair crop--great for nest building--but since I don't see it, I usually forget to harvest. Not long ago my young granddaughter barged in on me when my back was turned after I'd just emerged from the shower. I was busy wrapping a towel around the bottomland when she shrieked.
