I ended the year of 2013 with a near death experience, I had a horse stomping of my life. As we saw the most beautiful herd of Elk, several males and one with the biggest rack I have ever seen up in the mountains, I had no idea what I was in store for. This beautiful experience ended in the most terrible tragedy of my life. The horses were nervous, my dog Rocky got excited. Within seconds of this beautiful scenery of Elk, my dog, who had a very long leash went under the horse, that I was standing next to and holding her halter. My horse was already a bit scared of the Elk and my dog freaked her out by yanking me into her and his leash went up into her shoulders ( leg pits) and pulled. I had a 150 lb dog yank me so hard I went airborne then ended up under a bouncing horse. Within seconds I was down on the ground and got my face stomped, my body stomped. I could her my husbands voice and the sounds of his desperation, the helplessness he must have felt as he saw this at a distance. At that point what I remember feels like a slow motion movie. Blood gushing out of my mouth, tooth rolling out with it, feeling holes where teeth should be. So much blood.. From that point it was Joseph in emergency mode. He had to leave me there, to go get a vehicle, He did not want me to move and create more bleeding.
It was silent, I was just laying there, tissue over my face, and taking deep breaths. I rolled over to see my dog Bushido had stayed right by me. I was a bit worried he would be tempted to go find the elk heard so I stood up, grabbed a rope and tied him up. I then searched for teeth and only found one. I was starting to feel a bit lighted headed so I took a seat. It felt like forever, as I waited for my family to get back up there and help me.
As I waited thoughts passed through and a voice spoke to me. "Sue, it is time to think of the positive" I answered this voice and started mentally making my list of what I was thankful for at that moment in time. I looked up at the trees and searched for beauty, I was thankful for not being unconscious, I was thankful that I still had my eyes, I was thankful for not having my brain stomped, I was thankful I was at peace, I was thankful for the beauty that was surrounding me, I was thankful I could hear a car coming up the mountain.
Sophia in the front seat with the big first aid kit ready to do what she could, jump out ready for action, in a calm manner. She was relieved to see me so calm.
No one panicked, all stayed calm. At this point we all hit emergency action mode, calls were made, First plan, I was not going to go to the emergency room, take care of the mouth and teeth first. The rest is history.
I am healing, I have had to work at not being a little depressed, I keep counting the days to add one more healing day to my list. I have a lot of healing to do, after all my body was stomped on by a 1200 pound horse. I can now say I have been hit harder than Mr. Bronson and stayed conscious!
2014 Is The Year Of The Horse.... Wow it most certainly is..
I am healing, I am not giving up and I can say the the Year of 2013 has given me many new lessons and I am ready for the new year to start. Goals are being set into action. Healing is the first goal, living life to it's fullest is still my motto.
Love like you have never loved,
Be forever grateful for your life
Give,give and give...
Selfishness and greed will only eat your soul, till there is no soul anymore
You are in-charge of your happiness, not anyone else, nor the weather
You want to be at optimal health, then no excuses
Peace and love to you all.......
