I was injured in mid-March, almost 4 months ago now. I fell off my horse on a turn and landed under him, he hit my helmut with his hoof as he was pacing over me, trying to stop. He is a great horse, the fall part was my fault, getting kicked was simply really bad luck.

The helmut was shattered; my skull was not. I had a nasty concussion though. I am very lucky it wasn't more severe.

I had a number of vision problems, cranial 6 nerve damage resulting in double vision, poor balance, short term memory loss, some personality changes, some mental processing issues. I see improvement week by week, which helps a lot.

Over all I am pretty upbeat about the whole thing. I see I am getting better, which helps so much. Lately it has been getting harder, though. It just keeps dragging on and on.
