  1. Ain't this the truth! I always manage to hurt myself in the most unconventional ways. One time I decided to slip on my sandals to go outside real quick instead of taking the time to put my boots on and I ended up slipping and falling down the stairs. I was fortunate enough not to break any bones but I was a walking bruise for about a week after. Glad that your injury wasn't worse, life sure likes teaching us the hard way sometimes.

  2. . some things cannot be said too much and "think ahead always with caution" is one of those. have found myself in situations like this so many times, mostly have come out lucky but only takes once. thanks again, always helpful and on target.

  3. My grandparents were farmers and both had injuries from cows. Thank you for the information and advice for new homesteaders or wannabes.

  4. Boy does this bring back memories of being a horse tender. We each had two horses to tend to 3 times a day, guy next to me had appt, asked if I could do his at noon, said yes. Already knew the horse was high strung, beautiful but crazy. Well, one minute i'm hanging a water bucket and the next he sidestepped me into the concrete wall, then he reared up and I knew what was coming so I actually dove under him. Next thing I know he's got me in the corner, I tried to make it to the gate, I guess he thought he'd help me along, got kicked so hard I went under the gate and skidded through the dirt about 15 feet outside of his stall. Anyone who doesn't have that respect that you spoke of, or isn't aware of the sheer strength can be in for some serious injury. I hope you heal up good, you've got a tender face going to be with you for a while for sure.

  5. Have read repeatedly that farming is one of the ten most dangerous jobs. Glad to see you're OK. And, no, it is not your fault. The best of us still occasionally make mistakes. No one is perfect. My prayers are with you!

  6. Hey! Caught this one today. Little Cochise…so sweet. Now that I'm 70, and live alone, my main accident/death waiting to happen will be via my cat who I lovingly refer to as Lil Thug. His fave place is in front of me when I'm walking. Keeps me on high alert! Ha. Seriously, I teach my grands that most every accident happens in transition. x, E.

  7. Honey! Jesus was with ya for sure! Hard Lesson, but "I" learned from your Lesson….that's a Hard Wind! Always have a Backup Plan. God Bless You Sister & Heal You quickly….Rest Please. Big Hugs!!
