Hi gang Just thought i would pass this on, Erin was hurt riding a clients large pony last night around 4pm. The horse reared up, with her on its back, but kept on going and she landed on Erin. Ambulance ride to Markham-Stouffville hospital, X-rays and Cat scan showed two small fractures, one in left pelvic area and one in left hip socket. Lots of pain, i guess that's to be, but its not serious enough for an operation or hospital admittance. Bed rest and no weight on the left side. They wanted to send her home last night, but three nurses could not get her out of bed. We told the doctor we would feel better if she at least stayed over night, and she did. Home care can be arranged, Liz and I, working that split shift can be helpful, but i'm still a bit ticked off, they wanted to send her home. How do we get her in the house. Apparently we can get crutches and she can use them if she needs to get from bed to the toilet, but we'll see how that goes. A rider friend stopped by to see her, and she went through the same thin a few years ago, and offered encouragement. Time will tell. This puts a damper on her new promotion at the farm, she is now the assistant barn manager. Dave
