In the Bath tub for the first time since Obama was President.

On ice...smoke some reefer....
Long overdue!It was the first bath I’ve taken in 6-7 years.
My wife, a radiology RN, told me the last time I bruised my ribs the doctors don’t wrap you up tight anymore because of the breathing issues. They discovered wrapping you tight had a higher risk for breathing issues than just letting nature take its course, which is basically what the ER doctor told me, time to cowboy up.Tough time of year for such an injury.
Reason being is all the sinus & chest crud that folks are passing around. You DON'T need that mess right now.
Last time I had something similar the doc was adamant that I ensure I breathe deeply....no way do to it vigorously.....but good long intakes....until it hurts...then a bit more.
Don't fall into the trap of short & shallow breathing.
Extra-strength fast acting version of Tylenol dosed alternating with Aleve sure helped, too. I was alternating every couple a hours between the two.
Keep breathing 'til it hurts. It's gonna hurt anyway so you might as well stave off the chest & sinus horrors as best you can.
Hang in there.
Your post is a good reminder to us all to consider putting down those grip enhancers in the tub & shower floors.
Yep, had a firefighter tell me if you aren't cracking or breaking a rib you aren't doing it right.FWIW...
A lot of people don't know this but when CPR is properly administered, damage to the ribs frequently occurs. Most people don't push hard enough to actually compress the heart.
I didn't know this until a few years ago.
Might be time for a nursing home, T. They have TVs in them. You can watch all the Auburn and Dawgs games you want in there. And they play bingo, I hear. I’m sure they have ‘puters in there too, so you could still get on here and tell us about all the scandalous nursing home stuff going on.I wish mine was a good story.
I slipped in the tub
I landed so that it really hit kind of under my ribcage so that the outside edge of the tub (pretty narrow) was against the inside of my ribs. If that makes any sense.
My fat gut probably helped keep it from getting more damaged.
There’s assisted living housing here that offers happy hour 3 times a week. Any beverages of the residents choice. He’d fit right in. $4,400.00 a month rent though.Might be time for a nursing home, T. They have TVs in them. You can watch all the Auburn and Dawgs games you want in there.

That story is about the spider bite on my upper thigh and the two female nurse practitionersBroke ribs are not funny. To make your story much more interesting, add a female or two. Just don’t let your wife know!

Included is my understandingAre drinks included or extra ?
Just don’t drink to much and fire up a cigarette in your room, it sets off the far alarm then we have to show up.Are drinks included or extra ?
