JOANIE I am pretty much like every other girl. Perhaps not that much. I like thinking for my own. One thing I can't tolerate is for people to tell me they know me. I find that terribly arrogant. bolditalicstrikestrong

Cassidy starts his road to recovery

Battered jockey Jim Cassidy remains in good spirits despite being in severe pain after undergoing surgery last night to pin his broken right ankle.

Cassidy broke his ankle when the Queensland trained two-year-old Bonza Crop broke his leg in the Tiny Turfers Handicap at Eagle Farm on Saturday, spearing the champion hoop head first into the turf.

"I'm just lucky I landed on my head because I haven't got much in there to hurt,” Cassidy said.

Cassidy last night underwent an operation in Queensland’s Mater Private Hospital to repair his broken ankle with doctors inserting pins to repair the damage that will keep him on the sidelines for eight weeks.

"I’m a lot better, when I say a lot better I mean I’m still in one piece,” he said from his hospital bed.

"I’ve come through the operation ok.

"It’s obviously very sore this morning but the morphene helps you get through it.

"The ribs are still pretty sore I think there are two or three there that aren’t much good.

"They’ve got me on an antibiotic drip for 24-hours so I’m hoping to get out of here tomorrow.

"The nurses are going to get me up this morning to have a shower so the long road to recovery starts now.

"Time heals all wounds.”

Cassidy said one thing he is looking forward to tonight is the State Of Origin and the kiwi born champion had a message for New South Wales supporters.

"Queensland are going to get you New South Wales blokes tonight,” he said.

I copped the above article from racenet.com.

That’s my daddy’s friend in the article, in fact I’d met him a few times and taken pictures with him. How cool is that to have an uncle (family’s friend) who’s a jockey? I think my ambition to be a jockey was very much influenced by my daddy and him.

In the above article it was a report on the aftermath of his accident, which he was jerked off his position by the very naughty horse he was riding during the race.

I know horse racing can be dangerous, Sam, but I promise to take care of myself! Cheerleading is dangerous and disgusting but hey, I’m still fine and dandy! =)
