Yes you have my sympathy Keith- get well soon! I fell on a pole once skiing, a ski pole, not an eastern european! Sadly though, these injuries can take several weeks to heal but you're a fit chappy and that always helps. Liz the phizz!!!x

Hi Everyone,Thank you for your kind and thoughytful comments.It is a strange situation for me,looking up to my favourite Hills instead of looking down from them.
Steve,Kendal Hospital were very thorough,with no Rip un-tapped๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚

Aw Keith sending an e-hug ... a real one might hurt too much! Take good care x

Rourky 24/07/2014 19:20

Never broken a rib in me playing days Keith but i did pop the rib cartilage and boy oh boy did that hurt. Everyone ive known with a rib injury is the same, docs leave it not unless threatening lungs etc way back theyd bind you up.

I shall not lower the tone Glen as poor Keith cannot laugh with his ribs, i shall merely ignore your attempt to hijack his thread and again wish him well in his recovery..๐Ÿ˜‹

Hope you are soon on the mend Keith Take Care ๐Ÿ™‚

Hope you & OutdoorNick mend well!

Xray? You lucky thing. When I went to the docs with suspected cracked ribs she jabbed me in the chest reet hard with two stiffened fingers, then said, "Nah, you haven't got cracked ribs. You didn't scream load enough!"๐Ÿค”

Apparently its harder to crack ribs than you might think, so lets hope its just bruising.

I find Old Peculiar makes a pretty good painkiller ๐Ÿ™‚ ... Get Well Soon

Hi,Thank you all for your kind thoughts.Clive,when a Sheep eats your icecream,what do you do with the cone?๐Ÿ˜‹

Blue John 24/07/2014 07:58

Get well soon Keith

Rourky 24/07/2014 01:12

Known it for years and it does!

Rourky 23/07/2014 21:29

Ice cream will cure all ill's Keith. You take it easy and we'll see you up and about again soon.

Deka 23/07/2014 20:06

Ah Keith, feel so sorry for you. Nothing worse than cracked ribs. Worse pain I ever had.

Morningdawn 23/07/2014 18:56

Aww no, hope your soon mended x
Didn't the Fish Hotel have any vinegar and brown paper they could have wrapped you in ๐Ÿ˜€

Bramble 23/07/2014 18:04
