I think I cracked a rib at work today. CC was on one side of a big heavy thing pushing forwards, I was on the other side pulling backwards, and unbeknownst to me, a metal railing at an awkward angle was right behind me. Crash, crunch, "FUCK!", "uh, sorry folks, I'm okay, sorry about the language, sorry," retreat to privacy, "FUCK FUCK FUCK!"
So (this is still nominally my sex blog, huh?) I'm probably not going to be getting too wild over the next couple weeks. Bleh.
I fell off of a roof and cracked a rib. I've never been in so much pain... and I've been injured a number of times. Maybe it was just the way I cracked it, but there was -no- movement that was safe, including breathing.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Damned inconvenient.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll throw in a trite but true, "Get well soon!"
Get a wrap for it. It gives you something to breathe against. It helps.

Yeouch! That sucks, I'm sorry Holly. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteOuch! Hope you get better soon!
ReplyDeleteOuch, have done that (fall onto sidewalk while stepping out of way of large vehicle). Second the wrap. Please get well soon. Perhaps CC can be asked to provide TLC?
ReplyDeleteLucky thing you switched to gunblogging.
ReplyDeleteI pulled a muscle in my rib cage two sundays ago. It hurt so bad that I was breathing shallow. I found out that if you do that for too long, your lungs can fill with fluid or collapse!!! So thursday I ended up at the local ER with chest pain and shortness of breath....ever want to get seen fast in an ER? Tell them chest pain and shortness of breath!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey ran a ton of tests, told me no heart attack but fluid filling the lower left lobe. Gave me pain pills and an antibiotic and said even if it hurts you have to breath deep for a couple of minutes every hour and cough.
