Hey everyone. Sorry that I haven't
kept up with all the updates with me.
It's been a real trying time for me.
To start off with. I ended up in the Hospital
over a concussion. Now you are wondering
what in the world happened to me?
Well to tell you the Truth I was trying
to help a friend build a cattle run
for his brothers cows, he has about 100
of them.
Every fence was about 12 feet long and 5 feet high?
Every single one of them was about 175 pounds a
piece. It took too men to carry one of them over to
where it needed to go.
I asked one of the guys if he needed help holding up
a bundle of those fences up on the trailer.
Well he thought it would be alright if I held it up.
Not even a minute later they all started to fall on top of me.
I tried to hold it up with all of my body weight.
All 1800 pounds came crashing down on top of the trailer.
Yet it shot me off of the trailer. There was a fence already
off the trailer. My right foot go caught in the fence as
I brought it down, I twisted my right foot, and hit my
Neck on the bar of the fence.
I don't remember hitting the ground but I do remember
being in pain as i grabbed my neck. I took a deep breath
and couldn't breath. The pain from the crash on
my left hip was in terrible pain. I couldn't breath.
All I could do was hold on to my hip and try to
take a breath. My mouth was wide open,
as I was trying to gasp for air.
One of the men came rushing over to see if I was ok.
I couldn't open my eyes but I could hear him.
I was wondering if I was going to live.
The only thing I could think about was the pain.
I was soon able to open my eyes and look around.
As I saw familiar faces. I was able to walk, and
sat out with a terrible migraine.
The men look frustrated that I didn't help
them dig till the very end of the day. I dug
Four huge holes that where four 1/2 feet down.
I believe!?!
We all went To my friends brothers house to
play card games. I was having a hard time
focusing while playing hand and foot.
I didn't say much but grip on to my friend
every change I got for some kind of comfort.
Every time I tried to say something I sounded
like I had a frog in my throat and I couldn't
get out what I wanted to say.
I couldn't sleep that I was restless and
was in pain. I would try to sleep on my
right side and couldn't. I turned on my
left side and was still in pain.
I was having a hard time breathing for I felt like
a ton of bricks was sitting on my chest and
I couldn't get them off.
I soon when to find my friend in the dark house.
I didn't want to be alone, I was in
so much pain. I just needed to know that someone
was there. I was scared and didn't know what to do.
Pain killers just wasn't helping.
Sunday arrived, there was breakfast on the table.
As we ate pancakes and eggs. The eggs came
straight from the farm it self. It didn't taste all that
great. Still in pain I held my stomach. I couldn't
really talk. I just wanted to sleep. Yet I couldn't
from the pain. I smiled and pretended
nothing was wrong.
Soon I was home about noon, all dressed up
to go to church. I missed the activity meeting
due to not being home yet. I called my friend
JJ up and asked if he could come pick me up
for church; he agreed. But by the time he came
I was in need of an Emergency room.
I we ran to the ER. I was able to talk, but I couldn't
really breath. The pain was getting worse and worse.
The nurse soon came in as I explained to her
what happened. She was surprised and upset that
I didn't come in sooner. I told her the situation, she
asked if I needed a pain killer. I said yes.
I didn't get the pain killer until 2 hours later.
The doctor came in and tole me that I didn't have any
broken boons. Gave me a loratab and wanted to
send me on my way. I then told the nurse that
I wanted a second opinion. There was no need
for him to treat me the way that he did.
Did some ex rays of my neck. I almost past out
and almost threw up a few times.
The gentle man watch me carefully and
had me sit down on the chair near by.
He told me that it was going to be ok.
The doctor told me that nothing was
broken and gave me a muscle relaxer,
muscle defuse, and Loratab.
I was so drugged by the end of the night.
I was couldn't feel anything, but a slight
pen poke in my neck.
Stupid Cows!

I'm sorry, babe. That totally sucks! You're lucky you didn't break anything. That would have been terrible. If there's anything I can do to alleviate some of your pain, you let me know, ok?
