Rope burn sympathy

[julienne.rha.b@bayer.com]

Hey Carla,
Been there, done that with the rope burns.  I fell off my gelding bareback on
the trail and HAD to hold on for some reason and got three fingers burns on my
left hand and two on my right.. wrenched off my rings (3!) right then and there
with the adrenaline rushing through my veins because I knew my fingers would
swell like cucumbers and I wouldn't be able to get them off later.  I knew I had
to get back on so with wounded bleeding, dirty hands I walked back to the barn
(with dirt in my underpants) and hopped on him again for 5 minutes.  That 5
minutes was probably the best thing I could've done for him and me.  As for the
pizza making - latex gloves?
