Accidents are bound to happen on a farm.  Something about animals having a will of their own mixing with heavy machinery.  We are fortunate that most injuries have been minor - but this time it was me on the receiving end!

As we were trying to move some stock to a different field, I was knocked down by one of our jacks.  Of course it would have helped if I had let go of his neck.  ;) 

Thanks to my claw clip, I now have a nice inch-long gash in the back of my head.  As my RN sister said, "your head is pretty vascular."  Translation:  it bleeds A LOT. 

I was a big baby - second time this week - but thankfully Grady can remain calm in stressful situations. 

I stalled going to the ER because the thought of shaving a part of my head for stitches was too unbearable.  {Told you I was a baby.}  So I went to the doctor today and she said I will be fine.  Just keep it clean and it should heal up on its own.  Especially with the dose of antibiotics she gave me since a nice fresh cow pie "cushioned" my fall.

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
