passerby to get help from inside
the emergency room.
“Between us we had three good
arms and three good legs,’’ Janet
says. And that’s how it remained
through the summer. Don had
separated his collarbone on the
right side and spent four weeks in a
restraining harness.
“We drew quite a bit of attention
wherever we went,” Don says. It
took both of them to shop for
groceries, Don pulling the cart
with one arm while Janet pushed.
And it took them twice as long tf>
shop because people would stop
them to ask what happened. “One
shopkeeper asked, ‘Are you two
married?’” Don laughs. “I think
he figured we’d been in a fight or
something.”
“I told Don I refuse to go
anywhere with him anymore,”
Janet jokes. On the more serious
side, both of the Mayers found
their injuries costly financially as
well as emotionally. Janet, who
worked as a word processor, had to
resign while she underwent
rehabilitation. Don has been off his
job since his accident. They’ve

HIGH PROTEIN SILAGE

COULD You Use The Extra Profit?
The primary benefit for treating corn silage
with ammonia is reducing feed costs.
But, you also know that reducing feed costs
do not alwaysjncreasfe profits.
With a little understanding of ammonia
treated silage some university studies have
shown not only lower feed costs but also
higher production at the same time by using
ammoniated silage in the feeding program.
See Martin's Ag. Service for Martin’s Hi-
Protein liquid ammonia silage additive as well
as computer balanced feeding programs and
sound feeding advice.

managed to keep up with farm
work because Don could drive the
tractor and the combine with one
hand, but when Don’s father
became ill recently they had to ask
their son Bear to quit his summer
job and come home to help out.
The Mayers hope the worst of it
is over. Janet is no longer on
crutches and can be out of her knee
brace at home. She still has six
months of therapy but says the
doctor is pleased with her progress
and she can expect a complete
recovery. With the help of home
exercises, Don has full use of his
arm but is still trying to build up
strength. He expects to be able to
return to his job after his Sept. 15
checkup.
They’d like to remind readers
that it takes only a moment’s lapse
to have a debilitating farm injury.
“I often think if I’d only taken a
second to position myself, if I’d
been standing by the cow’s
stomach instead of her hip, I would
have been fine,” Janet says.
Don agrees, “I think if you care
about animals, in a crisis you put
the animal first and think of
yourself second.” He adds, “But
when you get in a hurry, you do
stupid things. You don’t think
twice. That’s when accidents
happen.”

in the morning and having our coffee." Both are off work due to their injuries.
