[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1677699, member: 40335"] My wife is 51 year's old. Her passion is barrel racing. She has the same feeling about her competeing in her barrel racing as what you and Dave has described about your bull riding and Dave's bronc riding. She has been hurt a few times herself. Less than a year ago I got a call at work from her. Said she was bucked off and landed flat on her back on hard ground. Two of her friends wanted her to go to the emergency room but she wouldn't go. When i got home that night she was awake lying on her stomach. I raised her shirt up and she had a black and blue bruise twice the size of a baby moon hub cap protruding between her shoulder blades from the base of her neck to the small of her back. Tried to get her to go to the emergency room right then. Wouldn't go, said she would see a doctor the next morning. Took some x-rays, gave her some pain killers, told her to come back in a week for a fallow up. Took her to another doctor a few days later. Done an MRI, she had 3 broke ribs, 7 fractured vertebrae. She was competing less than two months after that. One time she hit a barrel cut a heck of a gash in her leg. Stopped at the emergency room and got her stitched up that Time. Then a couple years ago a horse stepped on her foot, was nearly a year after having surgery getting over that. Was supposed to stay off of it all together for a year. Six months later after surgeon pulled the pen running through her big toe that kept the bones lined lined up while everything heeled. And they took the stitches out of the other incisions from the surgery. She takes a pair of her ridding boots to a boot store and comes up with this deal where the guy that repairs boots to stretch the boot and make it bigger so she could get it over her hurt foot that was still swollen 6 months after having had surgery on. And was supposed to not put any weight on for another six months after having the stitches and pins taken out. She just left a couple hours ago headed to vet facility in Tulsa Oklahoma to go pick up some of her horse's (A Srallion & 2 mares)she is having the stud collected and the mares insimuated that she is raising colts out out. It's about a 4 hour drive through alot of road work that is dangerous pulling a horse trailer through. She has been that way every since we have been together. I would be lieing if i said I don't worry about her. But I know too that is what she lives for. She is up at 4:30 a.m every morning feeding and taking care of her horse's and she doesn't miss a morning and thoes horses get fed twice a day. Never miss a meal. So i kind of understand what you and Dave are describing. [/QUOTE]
