I just got off the phone with my son and they are keeping Janie in the hospital for sure tonight. She still has swelling on the brain and they want to watch her very closely. He said what happened is the cinch on her saddle broke and when the saddle slid, she fell off and hit the concrete. They were trotting the horses so this made it a little bit harder of a fall.

I think its a good idea to keep her one or 2 more days to make sure shes 100%. Take care there. God bless her.

I definitely agree. I know how she is and if she went home she would want to be doing things. I told her when she does go home that I have a few easy things she can do when she feels up to it. All she would have to do is search the internet for some info. I hope all is well with you.

Yes, sometimes they go home and they tell them not to let them sleep long. This way nurses and dr. can check on them more.

Oh my goodness! Poor gal! I will say a prayer on her behalf in hopes she'll be alright. She'll probably have a big headache for a few days along with a knot on her head where she hit the concrete. Hope she recovers quickly and all ends well!

Sorry to hear this and hope she'll be fine soon.
I've fall once but so lucky that it was a good fall or else I could have break a bone or two.
It was an unexpected event- my uncle forgot to adjust the saddle.
It was fastened too loose, so as the horse turn left (or right, can't remember then) I just fall off on the ground.
I'd hurt my shoulder, nothing more than that.

Oh no ... that is terrible. I hope she is getting better now.
Pray that she will have speedy recovery. Horse riding is indeed
a dangerous sport. Extra care needed and sometimes accidents do
happen. Have a good rest and hope she will be back as normal
soon.

Thanks, Iriene88. I haven't heard anymore from my son so I am praying things are ok. I was hurt on a horse years ago but I was only 16. I was in the hospital for 5 days with injuries to my pelvic area. But she is in her 40's and a head injury is so much different.

hi Velvet wow that concrete is the worst stuff for falls.I am glad that they are taking good care of her, watching her closely and keeping her in overnight as she is right where she needs to be if there is any problems at all My prayers go out to you and yours that she will heal swiftly with no complications.

Good morning, Hatley. Your prayers and concerns are so appreciated. I haven't heard from my son this morning so I am taking that as a good sign. Janie will be sore for awhile but if she rests she will heal faster. I can see her now talking away on her phone while lying in the hospital bed. Hugs to you.

Yes, it was a nasty fall. She is still in the hospital and I don't know when they will release her. My son is holding up pretty well, just wearing himself down. He feels it is best that she stays there until the doctors feels it is safe for her to go home. Thank you for everything.

Wow, that don't sound good. But I hope she gets better and recovers from that fall. Like I said I am sure they are going to monitor her for some time. These things can have effects latter on in life. Hitting the concrete had to hurt and thats why this happened. If it were dirt it might have been lesser of an injury.
