GP just been, fairly definite it's broken ribs unfortunately, waiting for ambulance to A& E for xrays and stronger painkillers. Said I could take more morphine plus co-cod now so done that. Could be 4-6 hr wait. Not looking forward to it, been there, done that once before when I fractured my back. Paramedics are going to have to carry me down the stairs (fortunately only 3) and down the drive as too narrow for ambulance. It's going to be a long, long day.
Thanks for sympathy, much appreciated, it does help.
@Busy-Lizzie, glad the family lunch went ok, I've got all my family coming for the weekend, can't cancel so I plan to just sit on the sofa and be waited on!
I went to Rosemoor with my friend this morning and got chatting to two ladies who thought we were " a couple ". I was joking at the till about it with the girl at the counter and she said " are you Mother and Son " My friend roared and I said " she's only 9 years older than me, but I know I look MUCH younger than I am " I've been calling her Mum ever since.
Good afternoon, car is in for service and MOT . Hope they can do it OK I'm using the guys from Allotments, but one has bad eye and can't bend the other is just out of hospital having collapsed last week. Another plot neighbour has just come out of hospital looking 20 years older than when he went in, and now you are in the wars @Lizzie27. What's happening? Hope everyone else is OK. Ah just heard GD'S have completed their D of E gold walking in the Lake District, a fantastic achievement especially for N considering all her disabilities.
Loads of luck @Lizzie27 I did the same to a floating rib Christmas before last. It is painful (especially at night) and takes ages to heal. Arm yourself with painkillers - at least it's not permanent.
My nurse neighbour suggested wearing a lumbar belt for a while during the day 'or even night) to stop the rib from moving. It helped.
Oh no @Lizzie27! Your pain killers should be designed to able you to deep breathe and cough (and move) so I hope that can be achieved for you. Let us know when you are back home so we can all make you a cuppa and sweet treat.
So very sorry to hear about your series of accidents @Lizzie27, in answer to your post yesterday I was going to agree with you about the strange (funny) customs us folk have in our love of old vehicles and to tell you to take care if your 'feeling dizzy' continued. It seems I am too late with my warning - naughty spider (I dont like them either). I really hope you can get enough pain relief while you are healing. Sending gentle hugs.
