I am now on day 4 going on 5. At first it wasnt that bad, then slowly it felt like someone punched me hard in the chest then the pain set in. I went to the doctor, showed him the bump on my chest....thought for sure it was broken anmd the bone was sticking out, the pain was alot. I was scared of another cut/pin job, I've broken a few bones in my life.
Spiral Fracture of the Femer = Skiing. That was traction, pin through bone that they took out for the weights. Next was two bones directly above the wrist, pin/plates then took out so two cuts, but mine was three cuz it never healed properly = Mountain Biking crash. Next was just above the knee, car smoked me as I was crossing the cross-walk in
British Columbia. That one was a total stay-in pin deal, just an inch below the knee. I wished I was in
California for that one, Huge Ca$h settlement on that one, but no Im Canadian with free
health care and limited
guns and car
accident limits
Bruised Ribs - They Xray'ed it, did the stethascope breath in-out deal, the doctor also pressed the chest. Conclusion, bruised ribs. OK, "how long doc before the pain goes away?" he says a week, I
google its like a month on
google. I trust the doctor, anyway the last day now I get this weird feeling on my ribs, its like they are moving over a speed bump, it doesnt hurt when that happens, just very weird. It only really hurts when I lay down and sleep now, so thats a good sign on only day 4. Taking Aleve, and tonight some sleepers because I havent been able to sleep at all.
Three things are good in life.
1) I'm alive
2) I'm a free man
3) I'm Healthy
4) No broken bones and it will not hurt in awhile
