First, from Zippy's Mom, we learn:

"Sister-in-law is doing OK, should be released tomorrow. They did not find the cause of the chest pains yet. Everything seems to be ok. Hopefully, they are not overlooking something.

"Sara is OK...just some minor leaking....they are going to start her on
medication to control it. She is young to experience this sort of thing,
but it does happen."


And here's the Hoss Spill Tail from Miz Zippy herself:

"Here's my best attempt to 'splian what happened...

Saddled up western hoss Winchester... he didn't like the bit - got fiesty - crow hopped, reared, NO BIG DEAL. Stayed on.
Got on Flaco (spooky English hoss)... he freaked when I set my camera onna fence, we did some nice FAST sidesteppin, no big deal, stayerd right on.
Got on BOMBPROOF Cadalliac (bareback), trot trot trot, lope lope lope lope ...leave it to me to fall off the EASY guy
So, anywho, got back on him and stayed on... Finished class, fed horses, went home...

OK, wrist/elbow is now reaalllly hurtin. Had hay all over me; decided at worst elbow is broken ~ But I ain't gettin' a cast on a dirty arm so I took a shower.
Got out--k--close to dinner time - no tellin' how long I'll be in emergency rm... Guess I'll eat dinner first. So I did! Went 2 emergency rm--MANY ppl there ~ Decided *maybe* it din't hurt as bad as I thought. Went back home. Took i.b.-profane and iced it. More I layed there, worse it felt. Finally decided to go back to emergenecy rm... 'n the rest u knowz.

Dad sez I should get into bronc ridin ~ tolz me "If ur gonna git hurt, ya might as well get paid for it!"
Hmmm... he does have a point..."
