so my friend and i went out to go riding today and while we were moving one of her horses out of the round pen and putting the other in, hers spooked, which made the one i was holding spook and pretty much plowed right through me. thank God i stuck my hand up because as she ran by she kicked and got me square on the right elbow. It freaking hurt!! and while im on the ground i can feel my fingers going numb and getting all tingly and im just thinkin 'this aint good'. but when i went inside and stuck my hand under the water, i realized the finger pain was because i got a rope burn. but anyway, theres a scrape on my elbow from where the hoof got the skin and its a little bloody, but dry now. and there is a big a$$ bump, bigger than the size of a golf ball, on the inside of my elbow. freakin sucks. and its turnin all black and blue, too. it kind of looks like a have a tumor on my elbow lol (not that tumors are a laughing matter, because they arent, but.. yeah.)
i can move it and rotate it around so i dont think anything is broken, unless a little part got chipped off or something. but my fingers move pretty slow. its like when you've been outside in the cold for a long time and then you go back in and as you start to warm up your fingers are real slow, or if you've experience a 'dead arm' where someone knuckles you between the mucsles and everything feels real slow and heavy for a little while. yep, its like that. i should take some pictures and post em for ya'll to see. its gnarly.
well i went over to the pd and showed chief and our receptionist and they were like "looks like it hurts." and im like...'uh, duh.' and i go back to show our CSO (who we both agreed that we would go running together everyday at 3:15 until i go back to school) and she says "you shouldnt run today, i can go alone." and i go "i got kicked in the elbow, not the leg. i can still go." and i did, im such a trooper 
after the run, cso and i went back to talk to the serge and she was like, and i quote, 'for sh!ts sake! that thing is bigger than your boobs' haha. then she asked me about 5 different times 'lemme see it again' lol. she particularly enjoyed one angle where its just freaking huge.
both her and chief were examining it and trying to grab it and im like "back away from the elbow" haha. freaking chief was trying to poke and push to see if it hurt when he did that, which it did and i made him stop. he told me to put some horse linament on it. but i dont have any so i put ice on it but then my freaking hand started to go numb which i thought was wierd because the ice was on my elbow, not my hand. so if it gets any bigger or hurt more tomorrow, im prolly gonna go see the doc. i probably should have gone today but, meh. i figure hes just gonna say take it easy and ice it, which im already going to do anyway and i dont need to pay to have someone tell me that. so if i ever decide to quite being lazy and dig out my digi, ill take some pics and post em. toodles.
