    Busted Ribs....

    Havent been on the forum for a couple weeks. Anyone who has tried to get in touch with me, I apologize.....

    Two weeks ago I slipped and fell in the bathroom. My left side caught the corner of the countertop. I weight 250lbs, so all of my weight came down on the two lowest connected ribs. Not the floating ones...but unfortunately, they are floating now. Hurts to breath...hurts to sit, really hurts to lay down. So if I can learn to sleep standing up, while holding my breath for a few hours...I'll be good. If I move just right you can hear then grind, then "snap". Doc says it's common for ribs not to mend properly due to constant movement from breathing....It sucks getting old!

                          been there done that...well not from falling in the bathroom but from hockey. Never knew a sneeze or cuogh could be so damn painful until I had cracked ribs.

                          It takes time some time to heal, hang in there it will gradually get better

                              Hope you feel better soon Doug. Back in '87 I wrapped my Kawasaki around a telephone pole leaving me with 6 ribs broken twice = 12 rib fractures !! Holy crap ... PAIN !!!! So I know what you're feeling. All things must pass, you'll be alright. Be strong.
