~~ KOTC~~ALLOWED OUTDOORS~~OH YES I WAS

KingoftheCocktails profile image

.................Queens Medical Centre

Yes, I was allowed out for an appointment at the QMC.

It appears that I had broken three ribs, pulled my stomach muscles, and ruptured my spleen.

All through coughing.

Everything is well on it's way to mending and hopefully I won't cough so hard in the future.

Apparently the steroids had caused my ribs to weaken.

I have missed Breathe Easy Christmas Party

Trent Vineyard Carol Service

Church Christmas Coffee morning

NRRU Events Committee Christmas lunch

and I am now still told I have to take things easy

That's life

KOTC

Soon be Christmas

Cripes King, that's certainly more than your fair share.

I hope you'll carry on doing the right thing, you know it makes sense!

I bet they wil all know that your non appearance to events shows you're unwell.

GET WELL SOON xxxx

Oh King, I've missed your good nature. Athletes were a large belt around the belly. I have a warming large belt which envelops that whole part. It's elasticated.

I eat raisins with my cornflakes and banana and cashew nuts! I say this because raisins contain boron as well as calcium for strong bones Vit D is also essential to the bones to absorb calcium from food.

I don't recommend calcium tablet. My experience showed that it made me terribly constipated! And research shows that this addition under tablet is not really absorbed properly!

I shall send a "calcium" prayer to God that he may strengthen you. Take it easy and take care. It's good to hear from you.

That's some damage there Richard. Be honest, the wife gave you a kickin' didn't she? I said she would get you for all those times you had a go at her. Dangerous creatures wimmin. Still, I'm pleased you are on the mend now. Keep it up.

King old man, do me a favor , next time you want to cough, get a cushion, hold it tight to your tum & bend over it as you cough, that way, you protect your tum muscles & insides too,

Thats a nasty injury,you,ve been more than lucky fella, please take care & for god sake stop picking on the wife, you know you don't stand a chance :P xxxx

That's sound advice from your friends KOTC. Glad to hear you are getting better even though you have missed some of the Christmas build up,. There's still lots of Christmas fun to come but take care. Apparently doctors are getting quite concerned about long term steroid use in lung conditions causing thinning of the bones.Have a good Christmas

tomc in reply toKingoftheCocktails

I know what you mean KOTC.

We humans don't take kindly to resting - doing nothing etc And if your anything like me, get board and stubborn and totally fed up with my lot when i`m told, " i`m not a chicken any more and have to do as I am told to recover"! NUTS...................................................

But at the risk of sounding like a millionth BROKEN DOWN RECORD.................Take it easy keep smiling and get well.

Best regards to you KOTC.

Next time you find yourself coughing violently grab a cushion or pillow and hug it. Could save your ribs.

Oh KOTC ! I am sorry you've been through the mill, you must have felt like you'd gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson or Ali !!! when I get a bad cough I just throw up ,yuck! I'm sure I wont complain again as it couldn't ever be as bad as broken ribs and missing all the fun! Just think by being stuck in you are avoiding lots of nasty seasonal bugs! Get better and better every day in every way! hugs hufferpuffer :) xxx

Worse than I thought you have done so much entertaining with jokes that it did not show ....

Oh no it didn't

Enjoy your own Christmas and thank you for the daily tonics I look out for them as a highlight of the day.

Oh yes it did Ali

Oh King...wot you playing at ? Just you get mended soon and hopefully you'll be comfortable enough to enjoy Christmas itself :) Too bad you missed out on some of the events you had planned. I've just come back from a carol service which included a band and a buffet meal....among others they played Mary's Boy Child and Little Donkey.

I'm sure you'll remember those King and be able to catch up with a few more over the Christmas period.

Take things easy , Lovelight xx
