oh bugger

stupid me, i have had the day at the hospital, not only broke my right arm, but a couple of ribs as well. shit, shit shit, oh my god the pain.

what an earth did you do to injure yourself like that????????

Ouch, that's no good peterpam. How did you do that??

i went to the landscape place to pickup some pellets for my fire and after paying went back towards my van and noticed the guy hadn't shut the back door properly, so i was looking at the door and never saw the drawbar of a trailer lying on the ground and just went flying straight down onto my shoulder. such a stupid thing to do, so angry at myself.

ooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Bugger is right, by the sounds of things, Pam. Not real hugs, 'cos I know that would hurt too much - air hugs, just for you.

We have a few members in your neck of the woods, Pam and I'm sure we would all do anything we can to help - if there IS anything, please ask and we'll see what we can arrange between us. I'm sure that between us here, we can get stuff sorted if you'd like some help.

I hope that you are able to get what you need to mask the pain that you must be in, hon. Aw Pam, whadda we gunna do with you, mate?

Be very gentle with you, eh?

I'm sure your little helper there will do all she can for her nan . Take care, Pam.

Mmmwah,
Pat

Traliers are dangerous things.

I was moving a tralier one day and the ground was slipperly. I slipped under the draw bar and it land on my nads

for Pam. Hope you're not in too much pain now.

thankyou all. can't sleep, its my ribs that are hurting the most, doc says i have to take deep breaths and oh that is not so nice. they couldn't put in plaster cos of were its broken, so arms in a sling. its the main bone that runs up from wrist to under elbow, broken/cracked right at the top. amazing what you can do with just one arm when you have to. ive made a coffee, had a little trouble with the lid, but finally managed. made a hottie, which i have managed to get under the sling over my ribs, thats at least sothing. daughter was sweet and left painkillers out of bottle, so have managed to take those, only wish now they would work. the good news is i have a little more movement in right hand.

Hi Peterpam ... So sorry to hear of your accident. Hope it heals quickly. These things can happen so quickly.

Daze

i hope the brusing comes out quickly and goes quickly too...

just come in for another wee winge. this sooo bloody hurts. can deal with the arm, but its the ribs. how much worse does it get before it gets better. excuse my bad language, excuse my not being able to type capitals and excuse that today i can't even find anything positive to say. whaaa. i need a new body please.

oh and excuse my spelling

poor you!! I can really feel for you!! (but I can't really as I have never broken a bone in my body!!)

Take care of yourself and rest up!

How you coming along Pam?? Are you right handed?? I know how frustrating it feels to not be able to do things as easily for yourself. Hope you feel better soon.

How is that break going? Hope you are not in as much pain as you were.

Hope you're doing ok today Pam, and that you're able to get some sleep..

If you have arnica spray, drops or tablets, taking those regularly will help with the bruising and healing.. we find they help a lot..

Take gentle care..

Hi Bluebird, its ok, got abit cooky for a while there, was healing so well, that i was silly and started useing my arm. Silly, silly silly, needs to heal a little more. I think I have a break further down the arm that has been missed, which is giving me a bit of trouble. Am back at the hospital Friday, so will have them re look at the xrays and see what is going on. They missed my ribs until they had another look after examination, so I'm thinking they have missed this other. The break they can see, is healing really well, (up by my elbow) but the pain is in my wrist and then half way between wrist and elbow is what is causing me some trouble, clicks and is painful. I'm thinking they may have to plaster, but will see what they say Friday. Thanks for asking. Books, thanks hun, I hadn't thought about arnica, smacks head, use it for my grandaughter all the time, so will give it a try.

Hope you get some more answers on Friday, your arm must be unbearably painful on the undiagnosed bit.

truley it's not that bad until I try to ues it, or sleep on it. I think it just needs to be braced and then it will be much better. Will let you know what they say Friday.

yes how are you pam??? and LC?

I'm ok thankyou Mylife, You????

hmmm ok i think....

thats good hun.

Well Pam, stop using it until you get it checked on Friday. lol, not that I can really speak regarding resting it etc. Hope you get some answers on Friday.
