Hello CarriR,
We or should I say my wife Mavis had to take our daughter, Sharon to a
specialist x-ray facility to get the final diagnosis, I can't remember if
the other three were done at the same place off hand, sorry. I hope you
can get the hand back to normal use again soon. I had to laugh at Bob from
Houston with his comment about getting a kick from the cow, I went through
a bit of that on the farm before I finally came off the horse fetching the
cows at 5.00 am one morning, was riding the horse bareback at the time and
it tripped down a stump hole, when the horse got back to the dairy without
me, a search was set out only to find me unconscious and the only injury was
a green stick break of the right collar bone, I left the farm when that
healed and joined the Air Force.
Kind Regards from Errol, Narangba, Queensland, Australia.
