    Sister-in-law has 5 horses. One of them kicked her in the leg, probably cracked the bone. She kept working on the farm for the rest of the week. Couldnt even wear pants anymore because it was so swollen.

      Grandpa wasn’t a horse girl but he did grow up on a farm. In Soviet Estonia.

      Later on in life he had a more sedentary job, but that didn’t stop him from 1) simply making his own splinter using some random sticks when he broke his toe and 2) finding out he’d had at least one, possibly more heart attacks previously when he finally went to the doctor for a really bad case of pneumonia.

      And those are just things that happened in the time I was a conscious human being, he wasn’t any less stubborn in his youth.

      Did I mention healthcare is free here?

      Farm people are built different.

      Edit: oh, a bonus fact I completely forgot about, he broke that toe on the dancefloor, in his 60s.
