saxon threw nell off in a broncing fit yesterday when he spooked out on the hacking track and nell ended up being trampled on resulting in a hurt ankle. (her hat was kicked clean off her head and landed 10m away from where she was lying - no concussion though, in fact no hurt head!!!) anyway when she got back to her room i went over to inspect the damage and try and persuade her to go up to A&E but she was having none of it. anyways at about 10 we finally brought her round to the idea that it needed checking out due to the fact her ankle looked like a purple balloon and she couldnt bear any weight on it at all.
after hours of waiting around we were finally called back in and the guy says 'well im afraid to tell you that im almost certain that it is broken but due to the amount of fluid it is hard to tell' cue everyone groaning because we had to wait even longer whilst she was put in a temporary pot and given crutches.
well we finally got back to college at about 3am but all the gates were locked and we had to park in the pub car park at the bottom of the main drive meaning a half hour trek back up to the student village (usually about 10/15mins but obviously nell was on crutches so it was a lot slower!)
my head hit the pillow at 3.52am (i went and sorted nell out before going back to my room) and the next thing i know is my alarm going off at 7.30am telling me to go and muck saxon out, just as im about to walk out the door emma rings me to say that yard staff will do saxon due to the circumstances and to go back to sleep - well if i had gone back to sleep i wouldnt have woken up to take nell back to the fracture clinic for them to change her pot, so i toddled off down to the yard. taped to saxons door was a note saying 'he has had his brekkie come and see jenny robson' so i did!! and made arrangements for him for tonight and tomorrow morning before mucking him out etc.
when i had done saxon (and given him a stern talking to about spooking and trampling people) i went up to a meeting with the cleaner and her boss, before going to sort out my work experience (helping with the yorkshire show for 3 weeks) and going back up to the hospital. got back to the hospital (didnt get lost this time - didnt even need the sat nav its that easy!!!) and tried to find a parking space. easier said than done. in a car park with supposedly 1500 spaces only 3 were empty and two of them were disabled before realising we didnt have enough change for the ticket so i left a note on my dashboard and ran round trying to get change for the machine before going back into the hospital to find nell.
after another lifetime of waiting nell was called through and so we went and saw the doctor who poked and prodded after taking the temporary cast of and declared that he didnt think that there was a break but it was extremely sore, bruised and strained and not to walk on it for a week, no riding etc for 4 weeks and decided to leave the pot off so nell can start walking on it in her own time.
on the way back to college we decided to go for a maccy dees as we were both hungry and then got back to college for about 2ish, just after lectures had finished - what a shame!!!!! so we went and watched the accumulator showjumping including the staff comp - they were in fancy dress, one of them taking the mick out of us students with bright orange make up, scruffy horse, jeans, hoodie, long hair not tied back, no hairnet and stopping halfway through to answer her phone!!!!! it was hilarious!!! another of the lecturers actually fell offwhen big billy threw in a buck and dirty stop and nearly came off again when they had a lapof honour for taking part in fancy dress!!!!! the best bit being sam got it all on video!!!!!!!
so now i am knackered and falling asleep as i type this so i dint think i will be going to the disco tonight, i would much rather get the early night i was going to have yesterday!!!!!!!!
