we live here now/I broke my rib

[sab]

Hi, I broke my rib. My VERY OWN rib. I was, picture this. Shoemoney Haus just moved, right? (Or, in the words of our namesakes, "We live here now.") So I'm in the backseat of my car unloading things, and I reach OVER the passenger's seat into the front seat to lift a metal vat of beer. Which didn't lift, but did drive my ribs into the top of the seatback, cracking my...second from the top on the right hand side...rib.

I can breathe, though it hurts, and can indeed inflate my lungs to capacity, which I am doing every few minutes, as well as coughing, which also hurts, because the website told me to to that to make sure I have lung function. I also taped up the rib, which cuts the pain in HALF lemme tell you, unless I put weight on that side or try to lift up or back with either arm.

Now I'm convalescing, and my girls (though off to see Anderson atm) are taking good care of me. Send porn! Or, Recovery, dammit! Only Tennant angsting nakedly with a beard can lift my gloom!

This is so true, and not even parenthetically.

I know, man. I know.

This is The Suck.

Get better soon.

Oh, dude -- that *sucks*. I broke a rib on a trampoline once and it hurt so badly that I seriously considered breaking my leg or something, too, just as a fun distraction. My favorite part of the whole experience, though, was probably exactly what you're talking about -- trying to decide whether its more important to be painfree or to breath. It wasn't always an easy question to answer, seriously.

On the bright side, you've managed to pull off the best iconic pun I've seen all day, though! *g*

You are so right about breathing vs. pain. Can't I have them in SHIFTS, or something?

Now I also have the HICCUPS, for added awesome. Bones INDEED.

I have nothing exclusively Tennant-ish, but here is a pretty, pretty Torchwood vid:

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I would offer virtual internet hugs, but I think even that would be too painful right now, so I will just think thoughts of John and Rodney making out in your general direction. Feel better soon! :x

There are these things called "doctors"....

Feel better soon!

[queerbychoice.livejournal.com]

I second this comment.

[noelleleithe.livejournal.com]

And then her lung collapsed!

(Glad yours didn't. Get better soon!)

[ch1pper.livejournal.com]

ouch! Breathe well and relatively painfree.

couple of clips of Rain on SNL (http://ack-attack.livejournal.com/323319.html)

Not funny enough to hurt you... I hope.

[ropo.livejournal.com]

Oh my dear sweet Jebuslug, girl.

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

Agh! I hope it stops hurting soon, and that you acquire naked Tennant in short order. (Only the other weekend was I finally inducted into the cult of Tennant. Okay, I get it now.)

On the bright side, you broke your rib on beer. Pretty badass. Not many of us can say that.

yoinks!

[kormantic.livejournal.com]

feel better soon, sweetheart!

[abbylee]

OUCH.

The way we injure ourselves is always the most ridiculous.

I hope you're only bruised and not broken, in the hopes of a quick recovery.

[furies.livejournal.com]

of COURSE you broke your rib. of course. because you, my lovely adopted older sister, are nothing if not strangely accident-prone. only you would bust a rib on beer. hah.

this will not stop me from hugging you on THURSDAY (EEEEE!!!) but i promise to be careful!

we're so going to have a mini-road-trip and i am super excited! I LOVE YOU!!

(seriously. i will find you. and you will find me. and we will be happy. in the airport! MY GOD i might actually look forward to a landing for once!)

[copracat]

Well that sucks mightily. I hope you feel much better very soon.
