Pacific star,

Tomorrow always gets better. Thanks.

Nah... just a few broken ribs. I don't need the Mayo clinic for this. I am supposed to be a man, dammit.

Kill you? Bah! I'll just give you a few broken ribs and a bruised back, all in the name of love. (NOT to misconstrue I am in love with you or with anyone else, other than myself of course.) So hold the "love" and make it "physical love".

Ah come on you love me just LITTLE TINY BIT. LOL. In a friends sort of way.

Personally, I think your going to feel like crap tomorrow, so find a comfy position and keep the mouse, phone and remote handy. BTW don't call me cause I'll be wishing you well and offering prayers and thoughts.

This SUCKS, wux. I can understand why you lost it on the ambulance attendant. I went to the doctor after having dislocated my shoulder in dance class (it reset on its own), only to have him tell me that I hadn't dislocated it, and it shouldn't be hurting... Sound familiar? Needless to say, I did end up going to see a different doctor, and reporting the first one for not listening to his patient!

I agree with mg- you are going to hurt wore tomorrow. But the day after that is going to be the real kicker. Break out the ice packs to get the swelling down, too. That's my first aid training talking!

You may not want flowers, but you can pretend they are the poppies from The Wizard of Oz. Take a deep whiff, and then you will feel much, much better and have a loooooong, happy sleep...

True.

Oh, and for the record, I think telling off the ambulance driver was great! I have had medical "professionals" that I wanted to tell off but didn't. I still wish I could tell that ER nurse, Hillary, what I think of her....

Ruth, telling people off is my biggest forte. I learned it from my aunt (now deceased).

Jaded, I don't report any doctor or nurse or anyone -- I figure their own selves are their own worse punishments. How do I know? Because I think it applies to everyone, incl. me.

MG, thanks for the warnings. I've also been keeping the midol and pain killer at a handy distance. Midol is my new miracle drug (it's for menstrual cramps. I figure, cramps are cramps are crapms.)

Yes, Tea, I like my friends. You are one of my friends.

-------

I feel better for the fact that I now sit on a harder, taller, chair, which does not embrace me and it's more austere. The old chair was a comfy one, and I had to lean back in it, and that provided me with constant pain.

I sleep sitting on the chair, about four hours a night, and a few hours in instalments during the day.

The worst is still the phlegm. Caughing it up. I try and I try, and just can't be phlegmatic about the phlegm.

Now the pharmacy delivery guy is bringing me some stool softeners and a bouquet of laxatives.

I can hardly wait!! (Believe me.)

I didnt see this thread until just now!

Wux...if you die, ill kill you! YOU HEAR ME??

Im just glad your not dead, and your such a strong man, mentally and physically, im not worried about you healing.

I almost get hit about an average of 4 times a week, riding my bike. And I usually cuss someone out about every other day!

Its like how can they f'n not see ya, when your looking them right in the eye???

It staggers me, I dont get it!

I will of course pray for you, and theres not a damn thing you can do about it, so DEAL WITH IT!

I you wayyyyyyyyyyy too much to lose you, so please, be more careful of all the idiots on the road, and always ride as if your invisible, and yeah, helmets are dorky, but WEAR ONE! Who cares what anyone thinks, its YOUR head your protecting.

Muuuuuuuuuuah!

*Luv2 kissess all of your boo-boos, and makes them better*

Bloody hell, well if there is a difficult way, it seems you have have a habit of finding it!! Glad you are home and as we say here, Lucky White Heather!!

Also, if the pain still seems strong after a while, it may still be worth getting an x-ray, as you never know what is going on inside and I agree 100% on getting head-gear!!..

"He, he he he he, she said, he he, he he he, "headgear", he he he, he he".
