Cracked a rib

So a certain stupid, clumsy bunny fell flat on her face Saturday evening and managed to crack a rib bouncing off the corner of a big wooden footlocker. It's not really a big deal, but it kind of makes sitting in the right position to type or use a mouse a little painful. So I hope you guys will understand if I'm not super fast to reply sometimes. I've got ibuprofen, though, and it helps a bit.

I haven't broken a bone since I was 16. I'd forgotten how much it hurts!

Awww, poor bun-bun! I hope your rib recovers quickly!

Lots of milk, cheese and lemonade my grandma would say (which makes sense, dairy for calcium and vitamin C for calcification of bone tissue.)

Please take care of yourself, dear Megan. This humble wolfy sends his best wishes.

Aw, thanks, sweet wolfy. I'll be sure to look after myself, and eat plenty of cheese. I think it'll be okay.

I know that had to hurt I hope you get better soon and find something to help with the pain

Thanks! Ibuprofen helps take some of the edge off, which helps a lot.

I'd get the liquid caps they last longer and work faster if you're not using them already

I did that about 1 years ago. I tripped and fell backwards.
Unfortunately, I took the hand truck with me, full of stuff, and got a rid on each side with the handles.

It's annoying more than anything else.
But yeah, it hurts.

Get well dear

Eew, that sounds awful! One is bad enough, but one on each side sounds really awful. Not to mention annoying! I guess I'm glad mine is only on the right.

And thanks! *Hugs back*

Aw, thanks. *Hugs back* Lucky for me I'll be able to get some rest this week so it should be okay.

Here's hoping you feel better soon.

That happened to me once bouncing off a kitchen table...And it was a heavy duty, commercial grade table too.
I was sleeping in a chair at the table one evening.
The phone, which was on the table, rang (land line phone back in those days).
When I woke up to answer the phone, I had to get up out of the chair to reach across the table to get to the phone.
What I didn't realize was that my leg had fallen asleep and gone numb on me while I was sleeping in the chair.
When I sprang up out of the chair to answer the phone, the leg that was asleep collapsed out from under me, and down I went bouncing my ribs on the edge of that commercial grade table and cracking two ribs.

For a couple of weeks after, just breathing deeply, lifting things, and bending over was painful...I couldn't even laugh or talk loudly without it hurting.

Ouch! I just managed to trip and fall, but that sounds even more painful! Not to mention scary! It's bad enough when you're wide awake but just being woken up by the phone and the falling would make it so much worse, I'd think!

And thanks!

It did come as an unpleasant surprise.
I am awakened by the phone ringing.
I spring up to get it.
And instantly I wonder "why am I falling down?".
Then bang bounce crack.
Then after the fact, I noticed my leg was numb from going to sleep.

Please get well soon, Mamabun. Try to take it easy and rest up, let it heal properly.

Kitty will help! Skunklings too!
MeganBryar
6 years, 1 month ago
I will, most definitely! Fortunately, my schedule isn't too busy this week so I have some time to just rest. Painkillers help, too. But not so much as my darling boy, or those adorable skunklings. *Snuggles you all*
AlexanderValentine

oh. oh that's it, you're getting smooched by all three of us.

Silly bunny, what did you do that for?
You have much rest and cuddles with kitties or what you have there and get better!
MeganBryar

I know! I guess since it has been 23 years since I broke a bone, I was overdue.

Aw, and thanks! I'll do just that!

Ouch!  I've never actually cracked a rib (that I know of) bit I've taken some pretty painful hits in the cage. It's not fun feeling like you've been stabbed every time you take a breath!

Take care of yourself bun-bun, and next time you accidentally fall, make sure you have a clear path of descent!
MeganBryar

This is a first for me, too. It's not fun in the slightest and not something I'd wish on anyone!

I'll try! Believe me, I'll try!

Just remember to sneeze with a pillow hug and it won't hurt as bad.  I broke a rib falling from a ladder decorating for Christmas.. I rode that ladder to the ground.. never letting go and the runs on the ladder bruised my breast, chest and lungs,, It knocked the wind out of me so hard I thought I was dead.  I could not scream breathe or cry for help... It was scary but thank gosh for my neighbor who was out washing the car saw me crash and burn.  He is a paramedic and helped me, checked me over and threw me in the truck to the ER.. I spent the night but I was very lucky..  But the bruising took a long time to heal.

You better get back on your feet soon or I am going to mail you a pillow and a cow for milk and sleep sitting up.

Oh man, that sounds awful, and very scary, too! I'm glad your neighbor was there to help you get patched back up and seen to like that! I guess I was lucky because, besides the cracked rib, the worst I got was a bit of a leg cramp in the bargain. Which didn't seem fair but seems a heck of a lot better now!

Aw, and thanks! I think I'll be okay. It's just a matter of letting it heal at this point.

I guess it's a good thing I don't know what those are, anyway. But it's probably good advice.

And thanks!

Oh gosh, that sounds awful! I haven't broken a bone since I was maybe 9 or 10 but, I remember it being quite painful. Hopefully you're able to make a speedy recovery. Quick like a bunny, as they say! Heh. Please take it easy in the meantime.

Funny thing is, when I broke my arm when I was sixteen, I was kind of in shock from the wreck and I don't remember it hurting too much until they took the cast off and I made the mistake of trying to straighten my arm out immediately. I think I was pretty lucky, in a way. Here's hoping you never break another bone, either, and thanks so much!

*Very, very, VERY Gently hugs you* You silly bunny -_- ! I'm glad your not hurt worse -_- .

I've never broken a rib, *knocks on wood,* but in my life I have spraind my Tail Bone, to meany times sliping on ice in the winter, made it almost impposible to sit down or stay seated for long. Then most recently, I feel through my brothers front porch step and landed on my Ankle, wound up with a high Ankle Sprain, but it sure as fricking hell hurt like I'd broken it -_- . Coudn't walk properly for almost half a month, drove me nuts -_- .

*Gently hugs again* You get plenty of rest young lady, and if the pain get's worse, or you start haveing trouble breathing, don't hesitate to go to the hospital. If you don't, I'm gonna get very mad at you -_-# .
