I cracked a rib today doing something very stupid. Sitting in my computer chair. Wanted to move the electric radiator near my desk. Bent over the arm of the chair, grabbed the radiator and lifted it turning my ribcage into a fulcrum. Heard a loud snap fallowed by a unpleasantly familiar sharp pain (broken ribs before in Judo).

Frickety frick frick frick. Hurts to breath, hurts to move, hurts to cough, hurts to laugh, hell it even hurts to poop. Stupid stupid stupid thing to do.

Hee hee hee.

Well, that sucks; heal fast and well and all that. If nothing else you've taught everyone else a valuable lesson.

Damn. A broken bone: the one malady that CAN'T be cured with fellatio!

I think that to make Ghastly feel better, we should all go over to his house and give him a big group hug! Remember, the tighter you squeeze, the faster he'll get better!

In the interest of not making you laugh, I refuse to make funny comment.

Get better soon, then.

And a small advice:
don't laugh and don't go snowboarding now.
Both really hurts now!

Feel better oh Ghastly one. Never broke a rib in judo, but did wind up with a minor concussion when we first started the class. Bit over enthusiastic classmate through me half way across the room, and while i tried to land as we were taught, head still hit first. spent the rest of the class leaning against the wall watching everyone else feeling nauseus(sp?)

Damn, Chris. Now you too can join the Broken Bone Club. Just don't keep breaking 'em like I have, huh?

I got to be mildly radioactive last week for a bone scan and...well, you can start calling me Humpty Dumpty. The report came back with evidence of either six or seven rib fractures. That's when my brain stopped registering new information. Good thing my new doctor has no problems with prescribing morphine...

Whatever you do, don't tape your ribs. It doesn't actually help them heal up, usually hurts worse than not taping and restricts your breathing. The only reason most doctors here will tape broken ribs anymore is if you've been in a major accident and have broken a whole bunch of them. Acute fractures with the ends flapping around, not hairline cracks like I've been sporting lately. The main reason for taping would be to stabilize the area and keep you from developing pneumothorax or hemothorax. Even when I've had acute fractures, the tendency has been to not tape if they happen one at a time, because they'd rather not restrict my breathing.

Hope they gave you some really groovy painkillers at least. Broken ribs suck, and they usually suck much worse about the third day after the initial injury (it's had time to swell up and get all inflamed).

Maybe you should print out a couple of these on sticker stock and wear them:

It's a good thing Drow don't hug - unless they know there's a broken rib involved. Sadists.

Get well soon.

My condolences, Ghastly. I've only broken a finger bone, a matter of a freight elevator door and my spatial sense not being congruent many moons ago.

Wow...I've had bruised ribs from cycling accidents, and those hurt so much I don't even want to think about broken ones. (Yeah, I'm a pansy. Mock me if you must.)

I've broken lots of bones...

Luckily, almost all of them have been on other people.

Hope you feel better soon, G.
