They used to bind ribs up Zona but don't anymore as they realised that that can cause more problems. The thing now is they are left alone and one
mustn't sit or stay still for too long as that can risk pneumonia.
One has to also do deep breathing exercises several times a day to make sure the whole of the lung is being used, also to stop pneumonia setting in. 6 to 8
weeks recovery as with any other broken bone. Can't lift anything obviously. Can't even lift a full up kettle. I feel such a burden with everyone
waiting on me hand and foot.
Sarah's fella has been an absolute brick with keeping my tea coming and he even went out tonight and bought me a massive bar of dark choccy because he
knows how I just love my chocolate.
Chris, I swear next time I drop anything I will do exactly as you say. But you have to remember that I am one of the laziest marebags that you could ever come
across, lol.
BTW, I have come across a tiny spot right in the middle of Sarah's sitting room where my gprs works, hence me being able to be on line again now. I
can't sit like this for long so I'm now going to go read a few posts while I can.
