I was horrified and refused to go. I didn't really know how bad the injury was until this photo was taken 8 days afterwards as it was on the side of my face so not clearly visible even with the aide of a mirror. I have to say it shook me up a bit when I saw it. I was very careful for 5 days after, had someone in to take care of the horses and laid low, believe it or not I took up crocheting which I havent done for years, now I have a box full of goodies that I have made. I will be posting a writeup on what happened because I along as a lot of others can learn a lesson from this experience. Fortunately I am fully recovered except that the lobe of my ear (the cartlidge) is still pretty sore). The laying low was partially because of my depression, that makes motivation really hard but that is a whole nother story as MiKael knows.<BR/><BR/>Thank you everyone for your thought, prayers and words of encouragement they really mean a lot (((((Hugs)))))<BR/>Lori<BR/>xxLori Schmidt (LoriProPhoto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786227217137143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-41226262405925392009-02-18T17:48:00.000-08:002009-02-18T17:48:00.000-08:00Criminy!

I think a head shot would be a definite, insurance or not (which is the boat I'm in too, but I would rather pay for that the rest of my life than pay for it WITH my life) An MRI is only about $2000 (I had a breast MRI and with no insurance, that's about how much it was). Life is worth more than that to you and those around you for sure. They will let you make small monthly payments.ezra_pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626213285612235702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-10403748411338184602009-02-18T05:27:00.000-08:002009-02-18T05:27:00.000-08:00Sending healing thoughts and the hope that Lori go...Sending healing thoughts and the hope that Lori goes in for treatment immediately.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-5501135075194954962009-02-18T05:08:00.000-08:002009-02-18T05:08:00.000-08:00MiKael, It is certainly a mean looking injury and ...MiKael, It is certainly a mean looking injury and good for you for posting about it.

I'm too worried about not hearing anything from her, but I'm taking it as a sign she's laying down with a big glass of orange juice (alcohol might not be the best thing!) resting her head and watching lots of crappy daytime telly. I'm sure she'll be fine!Geckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869977105238208893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-71129809603139179542009-02-17T22:02:00.000-08:002009-02-17T22:02:00.000-08:00Lori, If you're reading this, please go get an MRI...Lori, <BR/><BR/>If you're reading this, please go get an MRI. I, too, know that head injuries can leave serious, lasting damage. It's better to be safe than sorry and hospitals have funds to help cover bills for those without insurance. You just need to talk to the hospital and apply for help. Not having insurance or the finances shouldn't keep you from seeking treatment for a potentially life threatening injury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-22492496276724462032009-02-17T21:46:00.000-08:002009-02-17T21:46:00.000-08:00I'm sorry you can't talk to your friend about her ...I'm sorry you can't talk to your friend about her accident - I know how that feels, wanting to help and then not being able too...don't give up, be there when she comes to you.<BR/><BR/>You are a good friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029307154132762913noreply@blogger.com
