A cough, a sneeze, or hiccups can make you cry like a little schoolgirl!! Any jarring movement can be really painful! That one rib looks more displaced than the others. Is it going to require surgery?? Seeing the doc tomorrow morning to check on what he reckons.
Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted June 12, 2024 Author Posted June 12, 2024 Yeah..but' I reckon while your' recooping' you's lookin' at what tourers are for sale....betcha you are !!!!
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted June 14, 2024 Posted June 14, 2024 Ouch ... ribs ... war story omitted, yours is both more spectacular and more painful than mine! +10 on that sneeze, cough or jarring misstep bringing salt water to the eyes, yep, my hand is a-wavin' in the air ... TESTIFY! Still standing up on my knees for your healing! As far as your Motor Sickle, you could take everything I know about them and stuff that knowledge down in a sewing thimble, tamp it good and have room enough to pour in a quart of whiskey atop it!
Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 Well saw the doc and got the scan reports, I actually have FOUR broken ribs 4,5,6,7 First scan didn't pick it up. And no shooting either for a while, so I'll just browse around looking for a nice tourer.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 My wife is a now-retired radiographer of better than 35 years' experience. I read your report aloud about 4, 5, 6 and 7 and she nodded wisely. She said scans are not ideal for rib fractures, as it's a helical exam, but it is excellent for picking up a bleed -- the scan is a very useful tool in your situation, had a rib punctured a lung the scan would've picked up easily. She added that gallstones are easily missed on a radiograph unless they're "of some size" and I don't know why she added that ... you ain't havin' pains up under your right ribs now are you? (My wife is psychotic, y'see ... I mean psychic ... no, honey, you don't need to look at what I'm writin' OUCH!)
Blackwater 53393 Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 Hope you heal up quickly and completely! Broken ribs ain’t nothing to mess around with. Take care of yourself!!

Yep, no punctures at all, and I can still deep breath without any pain now, pains have subsided substantinally, only come on if all of a sudden I think I'm superman and do stuff I shouldn't be doing and it comes back and gives me a kick.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 I am Pickled Tink with your report of no punctures and healing is progressing and especially the part about being able to take a deep breath!
