Title: Damn. Not CH
Post by Charlie on Apr 17^th, 2005, 11:35pm

I fell and perhaps cracked a rib. Maybe not..... For the next few days, I'm gonna be a bit scarce. I'm around but at the moment, sitting in this chair is painful.

Rats.

Oh Charlie I am sorry, Ive broken ribs several times and it really hurts. One thing I have learnt though is to make sure you breathe deeply at least every twenty minutes. When you have broken ribs you tend to breathe very shallowly to avoid hurting but that causes chest infections and then you will be worse off! Try and take deep breaths as much as possible honeybun 'cos we don't want you getting any worse [smiley=hug.gif]

I went to bed and screamed. Sitting up is what it's going to be I guess. I think I'm okay otherwise. This
puts a lot of stuff on hold.

The deep breathing makes a lot of sense. This is at my side so that isn't too bad. No coughing or sneezing though.

Thanks for the messages kids.

Nice spring.

I've had broken ribs a number of times. Helen's advice is sound. Cracked/broken ribs hurt like the fires of Hell.

Be well and mend quickly, my friend. I guess this means you won't be running in the Iron Man competition this year, huh? Incredibly bitter disappointment... There's always next year, though. ;)

Hope you feel better soon. Sorry you are hurting.

Tip: If you feel the need to cough grab a pillow and hold it against your chest.

Get well soon [smiley=hug.gif]

Did you go to the doc?

Be well my friend.

Never broke any bones in my life (save for a pinky toe or two) until 3 years ago and fell on the stairs and broke my damn tail bone. Now that looked interesting walking around with a little pillow everywhere I went cause you dont realize just how many times you shift throughout the day. But it was nice to be able to look people dead in the face and tell them that I broke my A$$. ;;D

yeouch that is gonna hurt for a while !! I had floating ribs......my horse tripped up in a class when I was doin contest stuff and he went down on his belly and thrust back up to continue the class for me. But in the process I flew up in the air and come down with the tall narrow barrel saddle horn up deep under my rib cage....so when he thrust forward I was like a Pam-ka-bob.....I could hear a real loud ZIP noise like a big zipper was bein zipped up in my head but it was my ribs bustin off my chest one by one. Yuk....I had to keep puttin them back in place by hand cuz they'd pop and move all around and bunch up. Gross sound...took a long time to heal tho esp with that. They think some were cracked on the sides too.....didn't go to the docs till a bit later and he never order'd an exray. I was pushin ribs back for weeks......couldn't hardly breathe either. They don't wrap broken ribs cuz it restricts breathing. Pain meds is about all they can do to keep you from diein from the pain and gettin too depressed esp since it takes so long to heal. Good luck to ya......some over the counter pain meds may help dull it 'just a tiny bit'......but try tp keep movein around so fluid doesn't build up in your lungs. I've remain'd very touchin in the rib section. No one touch me there Pam

Thanks again for all the messages...and no, I haven't been to a doc. No blood and things seem to be in the right place.

It hurt but I was getting aound better yesterday until I aggravated it with sneezing and coughing. I'm still paying for that.

I'm not 100% sure if it's broken but it hurts as bad as the other one I broken a few years ago. That took awhile too. >:(

Charlie.....who needs more drugs.
