I've debated on posting about my accident from Sunday. A few friends have suggested that I share. It's been on my mind all week, and I just hope that it can she...d light and prevent a future accident for someone else! Sunday afternoon my husband was mowing one last small area of the yard. My mom and I were walking down the driveway to go check out my backyard. We were a good distance from his mowing, at least 20 feet or so. We heard that awful sound when you run over something with the mower, and then it hit me. It felt like I had been shot in the leg. I've never actually been shot, but I imagine this is what it's like. I had immediate immense pain in my thigh and was knocked to the ground. I sat there in disbelief at just how hard "it" hit me. I looked down to a major bleeding gash and a HUGE immediate bruise. For the sake of this being a FB post, I will skip ahead to my reasoning for sharing. We all get comfortable with our daily living and chores. We forget to take basic safety precautions that can prevent awful accidents. I'm SO thankful this was my leg and not my face, head, chest, or other vital areas. I'm SO thankful it was MY leg and not my kids precious tiny little bodies. I'm certain it would've killed them, and I mean that as seriously as it sounds. I just hope someone reading this will remember my leg and take extra precaution with others around while mowing. Oh and "it" was a HORSESHOE!!! We don't even have horses, and have no idea how it was there. Please, please, always be aware of your surroundings and make sure no one is near while mowing. See more
