Injured

Unread postby gnm » Mon 02 Jun 2008, 23:32:03

Arg! While mantling into a HVAC chase I slid back and broke my xyphoid process upwards which then edged back under my sternum. Man is that one uncomfortable feeling! :? A deep gasp and it slides back into place with the same sickening crunch. :-x Doesn't hurt too much except when I cough and it shifts out of place again. -grind- -crunch- -pop- Thats one alarming feeling! Oh and I can't bend over. Or lift heavy things. Dang it! I have preps to do I have no time for this crap! I am awaiting the results of the CT scan and they did enough chest X-Rays to leave me medium rare.... I suspect its going to be a slow heal though. Arg! :-x

I'm gonna miss those high tech non invasive tools....

Ouch.

You're lucky that didn't puncture something important, like your heart or liver... 8O

Sorry to hear it, gnm. Try not to rush back into your regular activities, as you could risk complications. What treatment has been recommended to you?

Thanks all! Damn irritating when the weather finally gets nice and you can't make use of it.

-sigh-

Guess I'll have to sit in the shade and "supervise" the current projects.
