Broke Rib

Spoiler - 2-5-2008 at 01:59 PM

so I went to see Jeff Clayton and The Mongrels saturday night,and my old,out of shape ass gets to slinging elbows and swinging fists in the pit...something I haven't done in years.So while showing the kids how we used to do it,I feel a sharp pain as I DMS.The next morning I was sore as hell,but I just figured It was a pulled muscle or something.Later that day I sneezed and I felt my rib snap into....and the pain was fucking severe.I spent almost 12 hours in the ER,surrounded by a bunch of fucking thugs and crackheads.
I have a broke rib and a bottle of vicodin.
I'll be in misery and on the bottle for about a month.
Great fucking show

how the F did it happen?

I'm not sure...I musta got hit or just twisted to hard one way....and it cracked.But the pain wasn't that bad until I sneezed the next day...I think thats when it broke.I know it sounds crazy,but the doctor said that he's seen this happen before.The pressure from the sneeze just finished the job.

Make sure it heals compleatly. I had a friend who broke his rib at a SOIA show, a month later he had thought it was all healed, we were,.. umm,.. wrestling, and it rebroke. (I felt bad, but couldn't stop laughing)

that's wild.
not much docs can do for a broken rib, is there?
tell ya to take it easy and send ya off with a script.
will you have to time off from work?

take care of yourself!

No,it just has to heal on it's own.Doc says about 3 to 4 weeks if I take it easy.I'm going back in to work tomorrow,I don't do much physical work anyhow...so I'll be ok.I have plenty of sick days and vacation,but sitting around the house would just drive me nuts.

were you drunk when you did it?
stuff can be painless under the influence, but the next day...fuck.
i have a friend who broke a rib coughing recently....
