Hey guys! So I have some good news.... I got some more chickens yesterday which brings us up to 10 rhode island red hens and Gabe the rooster... that way I can start breeding without having to worry about gabe overbreeding anyone and then we can have little chicks around again. So another part of the good news which is also related to the bad news is that Copper is finally here! Everything got delayed after his owner (not the kid the dad) got kicked in the leg doing the wild horse race a few weeks back and its still swollen.... and yesterday copper finally got here.... and now to the bad news.... I was walking copper around the outside of the pasture so he could see where the fencelines were, and as I was walking him the other horses kept bothering us and copper was getting a little nervous because I was trying to keep him away from the other horses and the other horses away from him, it was mostly Jet that was being the worst trying to charge up and pawing at him.... in this whole crazy moment copper stepped on my left foot... I called my mom and told her to send someone out to help me control the other horses.... and nick came out and I was crying cause I was mad and frustraited and my foot hurt... I had him hold onto copper because the other horses had ran off... and I looked at my foot and it was a little bruised so I thought it was okay, so I finished walking him all the way around the pasture (i had only gotten like 100 feet into it...) and then I worked with him for just a short little bit and then let him loose for them to go and get it sorted out which was just Jet chasing copper around for about 15 minutes and then they made nice..... So I went inside and took some aleve and iced it and sense I knew it was bad enough to not be able to go to work I was going to go to church with my grandma.... anyways we got there and I was still able to walk on it as long as I didn't bend my foot,.. when I changed into my PJs I must have messed something up because all of a sudden I couldn't put weight on it without crying from pain... and for those of you who know me and those who don't I have a very high pain tollerance... I tore both of the tendons in my ankle and didn't cry until the next day... broke my foot twice and then went to tumbling for over 2 hours, and this was very painful and then my foot just started swelling like crazy... it was like someone has put a waterabloon under my skin.... so we made a trip to the ER and we got there at 11 and didn't get there until a little bit after one... and the drs are not 100% sure because its harder to see broken bones when everything is all swollen, but the ER doctor is pretty sure its broken... so I am non weight bearing and in a boot for the next week until I go back to the drs... ill post some pictures and stuff later today for you guys so ya... hopefully the Dr was wrong!
