Kicked in the face by a BULL

[saltymom]

Yeap. True story. Kinda a miracle too he wasnt hurt way worse...
My uncle was grooming a crazy bull for show. This bull has been known to flip out and kick.
Anyways, the bull kicked him right square in the face. His face swelled so bad, they had no idea what kind of damage had been done. After being at the hospital for several hours.. he has No broken nose. No broken teeth. No broken ribs or anyother bones. He is bruised from his waist up...and had to have reconstructive surgury on his bottom lip, because it ripped off..somehow.
The Dr. says he will have a scar, but it will hardly be noticable after awhile.
A neighbor was hauling the bull to slaughter as soon as the Ambulance left the drive way

Hell, I used to work with race horses. Been cow kicked and bit many a time. Run over too. Chased out of stalls. Stepped on. Never kicked in the face though. I know about 4 people that got kick in the head and face before. Not pretty.

Hope he's okay and maybe learned a new experience! My great uncle sure didn't. The day after he got out of the hospital for open heart surgery, the doctor told him to take it easy. He was found a few hours later breaking a horse. :notsure: Smart family huh?
