My mum fell off her horse this afternoon and is as we speak being x-rayed. The horse bucked and threw her off over his head where she landed slap on her back. She got up and said she felt fine even though it was very sore and then drove home.
She then started to feel dizzy and got sorer and sorer and then couldn't move at all because of the pain. She then got two bruises the size of my hand on either side of the base of her spine which turned black within 30 minutes.
We called an ambulance and they came and put her on a spinal board. She was really in a LOT of pain as they were moving her onto the obard and was crying which is VERY unlike my mum.
I'm so worried for her that she might have a very serious injury. Can anyone reassure me?
Two of my brothers are in with her in the hospital but with no news as she's still being assessed.
