This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Sue, can only wish you the best and that this is just from over doing and all will be well with some rest. Your wonderful attitude is something for all of us to emulate in our problems.
Just an hour ago I went out to turn off the sprinkler and give the horses apples before bedtime. As I carried the sprinkler around the house my foot caught in the hose and down I went full force with my head onto the top nail in the sprinkler. Blood all over and two doggies trying to help me. I hit my knee, the "good" one and the taste of blood let me know I was bleeding pretty hard from the head wound. Managed to get to my feet and get to the house where the apparition in the mirror looked like a bomb victim!!. I began to get shaky and hated to but called 911 as I was too shaky to drive to the ER. "please no sirens." Sure, so five cars came with the aid car blasting away and the horses and dogs freaking out. The cat may come home tomorrow. All I had that merited this confusion was a huge swelling on my forehead, blood had stopped but my shirt looked like a mass murderer"s and my blood pressure was 189 over 110. They put a band aid on me and after the usual questions about who is president etc, left. Ho hum just another night on the farm. I am lucky as it could have gone into my eye. So I hope your reports come out with good findings like mine and this is just some minor set back.
