About a week ago I fell off my horse, because I am a dumbass and was doing something I shouldn't have been (riding without a saddle or bridle, riding late at night, riding with nobody around, with no cell phone on me if I got hurt). A stupid cat spooked my horse by jumping down from the loft into the arena directly in front of him. I hit the ground. Very... fucking... hard... on my right side. I laid there for about a half hour before I could even move. I was going to go to the emergency room that night, but decided to try to sleep it off and go to Urgent Care the next morning. I bruised 3 ribs, fucked up my hip, and strained my rotator cuff.
This was my hip the day after it happened. That bruise eventually grew in size by about 250% and covered most of my side. My ribs are still bruised, and it hurts like a motherfucker to breathe deep or cough. The doctors at urgent care wanted to send me to the ER to get a CAT scan done because they were worried about internal bleeding, but I declined. I can't afford that shit, I don't have any health insurance.
I've taken worse falls than this, but it still sucks every time.
