    GAH! That actually happened to me! I was at a friend's riding horses and the one I was riding spooked and took off, but she flipped over after her foot got stuck in a hole in the ground. She basically did a nosedive and then a somersault, unfortunately with me still on her. Thank God I only broke my collarbone, but hot damn! It hurt like a bitch.

    Anyway, good story, I feel so bad for Orli! And Viggo!

    Thanks for reviewing Dinah. I'm sorry to hear about the similar accident you've experienced. And i would love to get further ideas from you, it would be very helpful. My boyfriend's sister actually had went through the same traumatic experience, and though she was never paralyzed from the waist down, it took a while to find her. We live out in the rugged wilderness, about three miles from civilization and everything else around us is pure wilderness. My boyfriend's family live about seven miles from civilization. Anywho, to make a long story short... my boyfriend's sister was taking a long time during her usual trail riding excursions, and my boyfriend was really starting to worry. We waited a bit, and then decided to call the police for a search and rescue. It took them about two days to find her and her horse. Unfortunately the horse had lost its footing and both horse and rider lost balance and my boyfriend's sister was crushed under its waist. When the police found my boyfriend's sister, she was unconscious but alive. Unfortunately, because the horse had fallen on its side and broken one leg, it had died. It's a fact that a horse's weight can crush them to death if they lay down for too long. My boyfriend's sister just suffered from a broken wrist. Sadly, she doesn't care to ride anymore, but she does still involve her life around horses. She's teaches therapy lessons for disabled children. Though she's made a strong comeback, she has never ridden since that accident.

    You must know someone who has gone through this type of trauma. I've been there, done that and won my t-shirt. Same type of accident - horse falling and rolling on me. This has brought back some painful memories but you have done a great job to this point of showing just how strong the initial denial really is. The riding therapy is also very true. Just didn't say that the patient had to be tied to the horse - no balance. I was riding alone before I was out of a walker, jumping before I was walking unassisted. But the initial mounting on the horse was a freaking nightmare. I don't think I had a dry stitch on after that first 15 minute ride. The horse that fell and rolled on me was 19-1/2 hands and was also a stallion. I'm not quite 5'4" and the lowest part of his back was above my head. In order to brush him before and after riding and properly tack him (when I used a saddle - hate those things) I had to use a 3-step ladder. Needless to say I still have back problems - nerve damage on the left side.

    Your love scenes between Orli and Viggo were not cheesy - they were appropriate - tender, loving and still in the "honeymoon" stage of the relationship. Your challenge now is to transcend the problem with Orli - not only icalically but mentally and emotionally. Orli will try to distance himself from Viggo - if you follow what actually happens in these cases. Withdrawal, bitterness, depression are real bitches on relationships. This will be Orli's 2nd go with this and his reaction has been right on target so far.

    I am looking forward to seeing how you carry this forward. Please email me when you update. You can use me for a sounding board for ideas, situations, reactions, etc. if you wish.

    As they say in the American South "You done good - real good!"

    I'm sorry i just had to vent a little, i re-read Pained's review, and i couldn't understand her at all. I love you Willow for standing up and defending me. Pained, honey if you'd like you can discuss my "medical inaccuracies" with me because i think i'd know a little more than you, seeing as BOTH my parents are doctors. I know what I'm doing sweetheart, just READ the story, then you wouldn't have you waste your time with pointless drabble. thanks for reviewing though, i appreciate it.

    thanks everyone for reviewing... and thanks for sticking up for me against the flames... i really appreciate it all. Yeah i've noticed that the first time it was pretty difficult to read so i tried to break it up, but everytime i tried to put spaces in between the sentences, it would seem out of whack. I'll figure something out. Right now i'm working on chapter four, and it's going ok. Kinda getting frustrated with it because i'm not really feeling the style, but i'll try to fix it as best as i can. Once again, i love all the reviews, even the bad ones. What can i say? You live and you learn. More later!

    Good story. Though it would read much easier if you put spaces between speaking parts.

    "I can't think of anything smart to say," said the man.

    "Yes dear, whatever you say," replied his wife.

    Everything is a bit lumped together and it's difficult to read. Otherwise, good story. Keep going!

    Aww,

    Poor baby Orli-bear. I like this. Although, it would help a little if each time a new character spoke, you could start a new paragraph. Just a tip. The story itself is very good gh. gh. I'm very eagerly awaiting how Orlando's going to deal with this once he's had a chance to take it all in. It's a scarey thought, to wake up paralized. No thank you! I think you did his reaction well.

    And the sticky sticky, hot hot was good too. I know what you mean though. I was blushing my first slash love scene too. I kept stopping to giggle lol! It was great.... and the love scene wasn't even that explicit. Plus I hadn't planned on having it, but it just kinda came out. Now it's nothing.

    I like the flashbacks at the start of each chapter. OH! The fart joke.... HA! I'm such a sucker for those and that was so funny because it came out of left field lol! Can't wait for more. ^_^

    You do know, don't you, that Orlando went through something very like this in real life? If you don't (and what fan doesn't), a year or two before filming LOTR he fell off a 3rd story balcony and broke a lot of bones in his back, and that at first the doctors told him he'd never walk again? And that he was walking within t wee weeks of the accident?

    Which doesn't mean the events in your story couldn't have happened, but the real-life events you've left out would make a HUGE difference in how his friends responded. They'd be all "He beat paralysis once, he can do it again" or "What a tragedy, he escaped life in a wheelchair once and now this happens". It makes a big difference.

    Also, I won't go into the details of the medical inaccuracies in this story, I will only say that there are a lot of medical inaccuracies. I beg you to do more research in future stories.
