I’m crying when they finally call my name, and we are led from the emergency room to one of those beds with the curtain all around. Just like in the movies. The doctor comes over, and asks how I’m doing. I can’t remember what I said. After what felt like a million x-rays, the doctor comes over. He tells me that my collarbone is broken in two places. That’s what happens when you fall off a horse. I see he’s holding little vial and a syringe. He tells me he’s going to give me 10 ccs of novacaine. Sitting on the hospital bed, my arm in a sling, I start to laugh. Not too smart, as it makes my collarbone hurt. My sister looks at me, and asks if I’m ok. I tell her I’m fine, and keep laughing.
