    Actually, I didn't title it that -- Beth added that part.  I would not have gone to the ER if my dad wasn't there.  I didn't have a choice.  If he had not have been there, I probably would have continued riding, though it did start to hurt pretty bad once the broken bone started moving (clavicle) on the way to the hospital, so I probably wouldn't have made it thru the rest of the day.  The part about whining in the ER was just my way of joking around with them, I asked them if I whined would they want to get rid of me faster.  They had a really bumpy section of floor on the way to the xrays and they told me that they did that just to make sure nobody tried staying too long.  There was no doctor there when I got there so I had to wait.  I did ask in camp if the vet could stitch me up, and if she would have done that, I would have stayed there and probably still tried to finish. One of the comments I remember hearing was that they couldn't believe how polite I was, saying please and thank you so much even tho they knew I was hurting so bad. k   P.S.  Don't worry about the sympathy, I don't really want to be reminded about this whole thing :+/
