Horses are dangerous



A good portion of yesterday evening was spent with a friend in the hospital emergency room. She was putting her two horses out after feeding when one tried to kick the other and connected with her leg. Her husband was on the way to North Carolina and he called asking me to go and check on her as she had just called him. Upon arrival there was a limping redhead with blood all over one leg of her jeans. She could walk but not well. A quick trip to the local emergency room resulted in bandages, a tetanus shot, IV antibiotic, X-rays and stitches. My wife was at a meeting and came to relieve me at the hospital around 11:00 pm and the injured person was home by 1:00 am. After five stitches the healing begins.
