1. Broken ribs very painful and time is only remedy.

Miz t. had 'em last year.
My sympathy.

[Pool Hall Ace]

2. Ouch! Sorry about your spill.

Keep up with your pain meds and feel better soon.

I'm glad kitty is okay. :hi:

[matcom]

3. Now why did I expect this to be a LaraMN thread?

get better dude!

[LaraMN]

11. What?!

[matcom]

13. aw c'mon. you are always posting about falling down, hitting your head, etc...

:D

[LaraMN]

16. Doesn't mean you can do it!

p.s. I think I *might* have sprained my big toe last night, by STEPPING on it with my other foot.

:eyes:

[matcom]

[Deep13]

4. "woke up in a cat scan machine."

Seems somehow appropriate. :-(

[zanne]

5. OUCH!

I've heard that broken ribs are very painful. Don't laugh for awhile, OK? I've always worried about tripping over one of my cats and taking a header down the stairs. I'm so glad it wasn't worse for you. (By the way, the cat did it on purpose. It's part of their evil scheme to kill us all).

[redwitch]

20. Yup, don't laugh. Or sneeze. Or cough. Ouch. Mine is finally healed.

Hurt like hell, so sorry you are in pain! My sister got tripped up by a kitten 2 years ago and broke her ankle falling down the stairs. BAD KITTIES!

[Sanity Claws]

6. Poor baby

Three broken ribs - it must hurt to breathe. I feel for you.

[MissMillie]

7. holy moley!

I'm glad to know it wasn't worse. Take care of yourself.

[LaraMN]

8. You poor thing!

Omg!
Owwww!
Take care of yourself- that sounds horribly nasty and painful. Quit vaulting over your cat!

[wildhorses]

9. i would hug you but, it is prolly contraindicated

sorry, cos even breathing hurts...don't even think about laughingx(

[commander bunnypants]

10. Thanks everyone

I coughed this morning and thought I was gonna die.

12. Cats just get in the way, don't they?

Mine is always underfoot and then complains when I step on his tail. But I don't have any stairs or I might have fallen myself.

[Shell Beau]

14. OMG!!! I know what you mean, those little buggers can cause you to

trip while trying not to step on them! They get all under your feet!!

I really hope you are okay!! You took one for the team!! ;) :hug: Sounds terrible!

[CraftyGal]

15. Unfortunatly broken ribs will take a while to heal.

I have had them. I couldn't do any lifting or housework for 6-8 weeks. It hurt way to much. Take care of yourself and watch out for those kitties. I know we have 3 indoor ones and an outdoor. They are always underfoot...lol.

18. Sure, blame the cat.

[nickgutierrez]

21. The animal revolution is coming.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

[graywarrior]

22. What's your cat's name, Talking Tina?

Does he act like nothing happened? Cheeeee-rist on a crutch, hope you get well soon.

[Flaxbee]

24. shit, gray - that Twilight Zone scared me more than anything

when I was a kid. STILL don't like dolls!! I'm gonna have to count sheep when I go to bed tonight so I don't think of that episode. ;-)

[graywarrior]

28. I have never been able to forget that episode.

[Flaxbee]

29. "My name is Talking Tina, and I am going to KILL you! hee hee

hee hee heee" (or at least, that's how I remember it. Poor Telly Savalas).

[graywarrior]

30. My name is Talking Tina, and you'd better be nice to me.

[havocmom]

23. Oh man!

Might be time for a safety gate at the stairs! A BIG ONE.

Sending good energy your way.

Is the cat gonna live once you are on the mend? ;)

[texas1928]

25. Never had broken ribs, but I have bruised them a few times...

And that makes you not want to breath. I hope you mend soon, and feel better. Get some rest and don't do any lifting.




And don't laugh, the pain will KILL you.







On Edit:
Oh and pray you do not get the hiccups. :D

:hug:

[Flaxbee]

26. I'm sorry to hear that - must really hurt! Glad it wasn't

worse. I have several cats who have lately seemed to be trying to get me to do a header down the stairs. Crafty little buggers.

[bertha katzenengel]

27. Oh, no!

chicken soup to you

[KitchenWitch]

31. Don't you know the cats are always fine?

Cat law #1 - You must get underfoot of your loyal subject in such a way that you come out unscathed.

[NMDemDist2]

32. good heavens!

since you are injured, I recommend spending lots of time on DU :evilgrin:

but hope it stops hurting real soon :hug:

[Connonym]

33. Hope you mend up quickly

and also hope the cat is a fast runner.

[Bassic]

34. Damn...

That is harsh....

35. My dad cracked some ribs last year

and it took him awhile to get over. He had to take antibiotics for a couple of months and was on desk duty at work while he was recuperating.

The thing that makes it worse is that one of his idiot coworkers was responsible--they were trying to detach a pipe from the ceiling and the bolts wouldn't break loose since it had been put up years earlier. His coworker decided to break it loose with brute force and started yanking on the pipe and right about the time my dad said, "STOP PULLING ON IT!" the guy working with him broke it loose and it smacked my dad in the side.

He'd also had one of his fingers mashed in a press (it was okay, thank goodness) earlier in the year because he was behind a press that he'd powered down in order to fix it and some other knucklehead came along and turned it on and tested it to find out if it'd been fixed yet!

After the pipe incident one of 'em said, "Boy, you sure are accident prone!" and he let 'em have it. ("Just because I keep getting hurt by something one of you mental midgets does doesn't make me accident-prone!")

Hope you feel better soon, CD. :)

[Katina]

36. OW! broken ribs hurt like hell

feel better and take drugs!

[Lil Missy]

37. My pets try to kill me all the time. I think they plan and plot while I'm gone.

I love my pets, but they are evil.

I hope you are okay!

[BikeWriter]

38. It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
