New year frustration

Following previous post, I had a short walk yesterday after work. Then today at work in a lot of pain so off to minor injury unit. It's official now I have 3 broken ribs. Definitely off the running for a while. No work either for a week. Guess it's gentle strolls to beach cafe for me now. ☕🍰.

We need a 'dont like' button.

That's not good news. I know it's not the end of the world, but painful and so little that they do for broken ribs.

Take it easy. The running will still be there when you get back!

Such a shame as you thought it was bruised ribs and they are actually broken.

Take care of yourself. Speedy recovery🤗

Oh I am sorry - that is really painful. Make sure you are fully recovered before you start the running again. Regular painkillers and lots of rest. Running will be waiting for you when you're ready.

Arrrgghhh ! Poor you ! There’s not much anyone can do for broken ribs except paracetamol and bravery. 😟

Oooooh dear. That's not good, but just keep breathing deeply to keep your lungs going and lie propped up. I can sympathise as I fell last Saturday and have bad bruised ribs, I think! Maybe I'd better get them checked, though I gather there is nothing different to be done even if they are broken. I keep bending over and forgetting they are sore 😥🤣. Take care and get better soon.
