Broken bone in the pelvis

Well, the horse has done its thing AGAIN. Katy got on, he inexplicable bucked and she's ended up with a broken bone in the pelvis. A&E was interesting. We saw six or seven different people, all of whom had to ask each other to what had already been done. At one point after a three hours, we asked if some pain killers could be organised, having not had any since the scene. 'Oh hasn't that been done already. That should have been sorted'. We were passed from to another and finally were allowed to go home. All in all not a great way to start the week! It could have been a lot worse; back and brain are a-okay, but she was meant to be doing the London Marathon this year. Hopefully they'll let her defer the place until next.

6 weeks full healing time! boooo. We're now in a war to stop her mother descending on us! That'd double healing time...

Gone from thinking how bad a broken pelvis is to how much worse the mother in law living with you for weeks would be.

A surprisingly common injury in horse accidents, we see quite a few at work, intact I dealt with a suspected one with a possible spinal injury on Friday. Turned out to be JUST a torn spleen. Glad to hear it was nothing more major.

Yeah, Landing hip first rather than head/neck first  is definitely better! It was in the arena too, so a soft landing helped
