I Have An Owie!

[badly_knitted]

So, as some of my friends already know, just over a week ago I had one of those really stupid accidents in the home that shouldn't happen but did. I was cleaning the bath, knelt funny, tried to get my weight off my stupidly painful knee and fell sideways onto the rim of the bath. Result = probable cracked rib, which hurts whenever I do pretty much

Nothing much they can do for a cracked rib, is there? Hope it heals fast. I once hurt my back coughing while reaching into an upper cupboard. That coughing stuff is dangerous. Feel better soon.

All they can do is prescribe painkillers I can't take because they aggravate my stomach. The only thing that will help is time, about 6 weeks or so *sighs*

The last thing I need now is to get a cough, because that is truly agonising. The rib on its own is quite bad enough.

Thank you *virtual hug*

I love Janto

Feel better *hugs*
Not much you can do about it.

Thank you *hugs back* I'm doing my best, just trying to keep from hurting it more.

Here you go, we can share one sad little tree between us.

Awwww! That's a lovely little tree! I think you've made a beautiful job of it =)

Thank you *hugs*

*cringes* Owwoowowowwouch! Oh, that so sucks; I'm sorry. :( I hope it'll heal up soon. If I were there, I'd do your decorating for you, and make it as Christmassy as I could.

(Also, totally random: I just got home from deliveries, and, when I first saw the subject line, I read it as, I got an owlet. Now that I've actually had time to read the entry properly, along with the subject line, I feel kinda silly.)

Heeee! I wish! I adore owls! Sadly, no owlet, but I've done that before and completely misread something. It's very confusing, but can be quite fun!

Awww, thanks, I bet it would look beautiful =)

Never mind, I've done without decorations other years, and without Christmas dinner. I'll be okay. There are more important things to me than Christmas decorations - my wonderful friends on LJ and DW for one *hugs*

*hugs you back* Ribs pain is nasty because you use them for everything you do. Hopefully it will heal quickly. *Sends JJ over to take care of your decorating for you*

[badly_knitted]

*hugs* Thank you.

I'm sure everything will be very tasteful thanks to JJ ;)

Yeah, this is my second time around with rib trouble, and having a coal fire heating the house doesn't help, shovelling coal and ash *sigh* Ah well, I managed last time and I'll manage this time too.

Do you have a brace or wrap you can use?

[badly_knitted]

That's not done these days, it constricts breathing and can lead to respiratory diseases, or so my doctor told me last time. It's just rest and painkillers, but since I can't take painkillers that are strong enough to reduce the pain, that leaves me with rest. *shrugs* Good thing I have high tolerance for pain. =/
