Back again after a collision with my border collie who raced down our drive colliding into me, at the beginning of last week. We both tried to avoid one another, but went the same way. He was okay, I was in hospital with 4 badly broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung having fallen onto the edge of a wooden pallet. :roll: Not much fun!!!

OUCH !!

Hope you're OK...no doubt will take a wee while for healing and all...how long will it take before you are back as "normal" (as I've been lucky and never broken a bone, so not sure of recovery time ?). Get well soon :-)

Hospital initially said it'd be around 6 weeks before I'd healed, but as all 4 ribs are broken in more than 1 place that's been 'upgraded' to nearer 2 months - not sure why but my GP thinks the longer period may have something to do with other internal 'bits' settling down again.

Biggest issue is going to bed and getting up again - the change from vertical to horizontal and vice versa, with all the internal shuffling of organs that you normally never think about but which now want to voice their displeasure! :(

Hi

Not having done Biology at school, (I did Chemistry), you've piqued my interest in the "rib cage" and I've learnt some stuff ;-). Looking at the wiki on the ribs, ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rib_cage ) has given me an insight into how that part of the skeleton is laid out. Fascinating :-)

One thing I did also see, is a condition called "flail chest", ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail_chest ) which is the condition where a number of ribs have broken due to trauma. It doesn't make "recommended" reading, if you are a "worrier". Certainly hope your GP and hospital have done all the necessary observations on you to ensure you recover well.

I can imagine the issues you have at bedtime and waking up too...plus it can't help if you cannot move during sleep. Those intercostals (which I did know about before :-) ) have taken a big knock and it will take a while for them to recover, as well as the bones. So, best wishes on your recovery.

Re: Change a Letter - 5 letter words

Post by hgblade »

Considering the bad press that is thrown at the NHS such a lot I have to say that my local ED (Sheffield Northern General) was excellent. Only about an hour waiting, and a doctor who explained everything. He even told me he was a little worried after the initial x-ray and explained I could have a ruptured spleen (thankfully not) and bleeding onto the lung (also, thankfully not). Blood tests were rushed through (6 lots extracted), so I guess he soon knew what he needed to know!!

Now it's just time. I'll be glad when I get a really good night's sleep at some point!!! :roll:

Thanks for the good wishes! :-D

Hi Both,

I don't know, I go away for a couple of days and look what happens! :D

Sorry to hear about your mishap Keith, I do hope your collie was merely being friendly and it wasn't all part of a cunning plan.

Like Tim I've never had any broken bones so I can't imagine what you're going through. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Re. sleeping, could you sleep sitting up in a chair? I've done it before on a few occasions (by accident I might add)

I'd also add my praise to the NHS, never had any problems being seen down here and always done a good job.

Hi both

Yup - I wonder if the collie had been "got at" by another team, trying to "nobble" all our decent crunchers !! Which might part-explain why some of the Teams "heavy hitters" aren't around anymore :-( Did anyone mention dirty tricks or BOINC saboteurs ??

He's 2 years old, going on 6 months!! A little boisterous, to say the least. In future I'll be keeping well out of his way. :roll:

Thanks, Mark.

I did consider that as a solution for a couple of weeks. The trouble is, with only suitable chairs being downstairs, I'd be sharing my 'bedroom' with 2 dogs (and see above :) ) and 2 kittens, plus a very large (8kg) Maine Coon - and if I tried shutting them away in another room all I'd get would be complaining all night! During evening waking hours it's usually a competition between the kittens and Maine Coon for knee space, and as my wife's knee space is much smaller you can guess where most attention is focused. :roll:

By the time I'm drugged up for the night I'm sleeping reasonably well. It's just the first 20 minutes after laying down and the first 20 minutes after sitting up again which are very uncomfortable. I think it's a case of the worst of 2 evils! :evil:

So that's a 'NO' then?
