On September 18 I got kicked in the chest by a
yearling. It broke several ribs, it collapsed my lung and tore my liver. I spend
two whole weeks on the recliner. After that I went from the recliner to the
sofa, to the bed and back to the recliner. Those first two weeks were very
painful. As soon as I felt better ( about week four) I started working with my
horses/mules again. That was a big mistake. The tissue around the ribs got
stretched and became very sore. Take time to heal. It is not worth it to start
riding or cleaning stalls before everything has healed.
