owie

Took Image out for a trail ride this morning, and doing some bushwhacking up a hill failed to see a branch at mouth height. It nearly lifted me out of the saddle, but the horse stopped and turned, and we went on around the tree in question and also back home safely and peacefully. I think it feels huge, and like I should apologize for it - a split lip right in the front, and various small drooly bloody places where teeth went in when I was bashed, but I am still vertical and useful. I got my own tack cleaned, and off to a pilates class with good grace. Eating is a tad more difficult, and I may resort to stuff that fits through a straw for a day or two.

I'm glad mouths heal fast.
