i've been confined to the house all day. my parents even yelled at me for limping across the yard to care for the ducks. why you may ask? i got stepped on. by the biggest school horse in the barn. i was working the camp and they asked me to bring him in, and of course he decided to trot out to get the grass outside of the pasture because i guess he thought it was better than the grass he was just eating for hours. so he trots out and his foot lands right on mine and he stops. i was trying to push him off and i could just tell it wasn't going to end well. it hurt. so finally i get him off and return him to his stall and i could just feel my foot pounding. it still felt like he was stepping on it. still does even now. i slipped my shoe off and i saw blood on my sock. not good. took it off and already the toe nail was almost completely blue and bleeding. woops. i hobbled into the louge where 12 kids were sitting and grabbed a towel and wet it. then the trainer came up and asked what happened. when she saw it she flipped out. but i still had about 4 hours at the barn and i really wanted to ride, so i just kept the news from my mom. when she picked me up i showed her and she also flipped out. shes afraid he mightve crushed the bone and my parents both agree that i am going to lose the nail. ughh. it still hurts so bad. like i said before, like he's still stepping on it. this morning when i woke up it was pretty swollen. this isn't much fun.
