Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Thank you, Boyfriend (not)
He tripped me up with winding between my feet on Wednesday evening, hoping for yet more food although he had been fed not two hours earlier. I fell backwards on to the edge of my table. I had to have a home visit from the doctor today - this is unheard of for me. I have cracked two ribs apparently, to say it is agony would be an understatement. My lovely friend June (not that she doesn't have plenty to do herself with all her whippets and a useless OH who cannot stir his tea on his own) is coming daily to feed and water my chickens and let Francis D out) and came last night too to shut them up against the fox. I tried, but I could not even get down the step from my back door. My employers might get fed up with me soon. Since 2001 I have had 5 eye operations, ovarian ca operation, incisional hernia op (which has failed) While the doc was here looking at my rib injury I took the opportunity to mention the failure of my hernia op and show him the result. He said "when your back is better, come down to the surgery and I will refer you back to the surgeon." He was not able to give me a sick note for work. That is because when he phoned me this morning to establish if I could breathe and urinate he put the phone down when I was about to say..I might need a sick note for work. When he had seen me I asked him for a sick note, I can only have 5 days without one and weekends count into this. This will not be 5 day thing. So he did not have his "sick-note pad" with him. He said "you should have asked for one when I spoke to you on the phone" I said "Well, I would have done if you had not put the phone down before I had finished speaking" !!

That sounds very painful. Could your doctor mail you the sick note? What's an "OH"? (June's OH.) And how is Boyfriend after all this? Does he even have sense of what happened to you?

Have heard them called DH, dear husband, I guess. Also seen a few initials that I haven't asked about because my guess was probably right!!!. > bastXXXette@sonic.net kirjoitti: >> >> What's an "OH"?

Oh, of course! :) A friend of mine refers to her partner as the "OH", which stands for "outlaw husband". They got married, but didn't tell the government, meaning, they had a ceremony for friends and family, but are not legally married. I didn't think that was what Christina meant, though.

He was as quick at the visit as on the phone. One minute examination "yes, you have cracked or broken some ribs. If you have trouble breathing go to the hospital, take your painkillers that I prescribed, goodbye I am very busy.." > What's an "OH"? (June's OH.) Other half. > And how is Boyfriend after all this?

When my husband cracked a couple of his, he couldn't lie down, so he slept sitting up in a recliner, with his feet up, for a couple of weeks. I hope you have something like that you can use.

Purrs coming your way to get your sick note sorted out and starting to heal soon. I have cracked a rib before and I taped my ribcage and put on a tight sports bra for extra rib support so that I could go to work. I was articling at the time and time off wasn't an option. Very painful I know - you don't realize how much you turn and twist until you've cracked a rib. Susan M Otis and Chester > I'm sorry to hear about your accident Christina.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > know - you don't realize how much you turn and twist until you've cracked > a rib. I cracked a rib once before at the front by falling off a horse That was bad enough, but doing the same at the back seems more painful. The painkillers my doctor has given me are not really touching the pain and if you could go to work with the level of pain I have at the moment I can only admire you. It would be impossible for me atm. I can hardly move because I am in such pain. > I cracked a rib once before at the front by falling off a horse That was > bad enough, but doing the same at the back seems more painful. The [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > It would be impossible for me atm. I can hardly move because I am in such > pain. My damage was as the front and I know that every injury is different. I'm so sorry you're in such pain and hope that continued purrs can speed your healing.

The [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > It would be impossible for me atm. I can hardly move because I am in > such pain. The fall I took back in October cracked a rib (maybe two). It healed up pretty much by November-December. Last week I lay down on my stomach to crawl under a piece of furniture at work to reach a plug strip and I heard and felt a snap. SONOFA....! A day or two later and the discomfort really kicked in. I can get around and do most of what I need to but it is not fun. Not as bad off as you but enough to "feel" your pain. This never happened when I was 20.

I hope it heals quickly and that your doctor can send you the sick note. I've never cracked any ribs just my arm once when I was little and a second time as a teen. I used the cast to bonk my brother with when he teased me, and I also think mum still has that first cast stashed off somewhere. :) SignatureChristine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com > He tripped me up with winding between my feet on Wednesday evening, > hoping for yet more food although he had been fed not two hours [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > out) and came last night too to shut them up against the fox.

I hope you feel better soon and I am sure the doctor can post your sick note and hope your employers are understanding. You might want to point out the career of my office manager since she joined us, she had several days off after a rounders ball hit her in the face and damaged her eye, she then had 'flu which turned into a chest infection and recently she was off a month with shingles. This is since March 2007.And she's just handed in her notice as she's got another job- your employers are lucky to have you! I've never done anything quite as bad as that but I've pulled my knee (Dunzi), damn near knocked myself out cold (Isis-RB) and smacked my arm against a door or cupboard (every cat I've ever been owned by). They just don't realise two leg braking is not as good as four leg!

I've been there since 1989 and I know that the expertise I have in my job is second to none (seems not very modest to say it, but it's true.) I just feel guilty as since 2001 I have had one thing after another. First I nearly lose my sight and am off work for ages having a series of eye ops. Then I go back and my mother died suddenly and unexpectedly (we were very close) and I got bullied by a manager. I got clinical depression then. I just got back after that and I got the cancer jobbie, another 6 months off, then I get the incisional hernia from that, another 10 weeks off as it got infected.

He gets up on my knee in the evening, but he is a kneader and it is too painful. He always does this in the winter anyway, > He should at least bring you a collared dove for > your dinner. I wish. Kitty needs one. He hasn't brought one home for months. They are everywhere atm but as it is winter he prefers to lie on the spare bed all day and just nip outside now and again for toilet duties and a quick rat patrol, merely to say "Yep, there are rats.. now show me that duvet.
