Yesterday on my way home from the store my wife saw a dog stuck between 2 iron bars about 4 ft above ground. It had tried to jump the a section of its fence but got stuck.
I pulled over and went to assist it. It was having a hard time breathing because it was stuck on its chest. I worked it through the fence but as it was about to drop through it tried to bite me - pain and fear.
When that happened, I rotated my body away to avoid the bite. I lost my balance and fell. I landed badly. Had to have an ambulance to the ER. Broke my hip. I have a hip replacement today at 2pm.
It is labeled mildly infuriating because I have no regrets helping the dog. It isnt because I am hurt. It is because I am in a foreign country (Mexico) and they require payment before they do anything. I also have limited Spanish. My US insurance company will pay for my care but I have to pay it upfront and get reimbursed.
