The good news is that I never hit the ground. It hurt like hell and I remember shouting and more or less hanging onto Sid. We were both pretty stressed out and after several minutes, I gathered the eggs, stomped back into the house and started making phone calls. I tried to get hold of my husband (failed for various reasons) and my neighbor who is an emergency flight for life nurse (she wasn't there either). However, as I was looking at myself in the mirror, applying ice and wondering if I should go to the emergency room, my neighbor calls and offers to come up and inspect.
The good news is I most likely don't have a concussion and the bone that got hit was actually one of the tougher bones in the skull. I missed the temple by an inch and impacted the orbital ridge. So, I have a shiner and I look and feel awful, but I will live. She called and checked on me later tonight and if I had really hurt myself, she would drive me to the emergency room. So, tonight I am resting and feeling really stupid.
After she checked up on me, we went down to the barn and Sid and I made up. Sid put his head close to mine and let me catch him and I petted him. We both decided it was way too much excitement for one day.
