Wife fell Saturday and broke some ribs.

Been to ER - on third trip now. She has gotten better meds for pain, but this evening woke me with chest pain and short breath.

Doing ct scan now. I guess they are not concerned with chest pain - maybe associated with broken ribs.

I'm not too worried, but she is getting a bit worn from it all.

I had some pretty important work stuff this week. I have done a hand off to others, but need confidence it is done appropriately and tested.

Thanks y'all

Father, Please be with pcolapeddler's wife as she heals from broken ribs. Please give her comfort in place of pain. Please give her support when she is down. Father, You are the Great Healer and I pray that You support her during her rehab. AMEN

apologies for not updating sooner...

She is greatly improved today!

Able to walk with walker, get up from bed, etc.

Transitioning to oral meds so that she can prepare to go home.

Still painful, but so much more manageable.

Thanks!

Better day today, I think. Meds pretty well sorted out. May come home tomorrow.

May take a bit to get back to normal, but looks like progress is being made.

Thanks again folks.

Glad to hear of her progress. Broken ribs are one of the most painfull injury in terms of recovery as every move you make involves your abdomen and hence your ribs. Slow healing and pita because if you sneeze,cough,laugh, get startled, turn to look well you get my drift. Prayers on this sight are tremendous even if they aren't posted. You don't know how many people are praying for your wife and you from this sight but you will see the results.

I had broken ribs twice. Man that's the worst pain takes forever to heal. No way to get comfortable slept in a chair for a long time. Just sneezing or laughing can break them loose once you get them set. Took me six months to heal the first set since I kept breaking them loose. About rather get kicked in the junk every day than have broken ribs. I sure feel for her and wish a quick recovery.

At her request, I dropped hey of at her office this morning. She worked a couple hours and I took her back home. That took a lot of starch out of her sails.

She rested the rest of the afternoon.

While not back where she was, the had been good progress compared to last Tuesday.

Some Dr appts this week. We'll see what they have to say. Hopefully some PT or such to help with strength, etc.

It's only been a bit over a week. Takes a while longer for broken bones to heal.

Hi folks.

Apologies for not updating sooner.

Jackie is doing ok. She is hoping to get to see doctor this week. She is a lot better than she was, but is frustrated that she is not better than she is - if that makes any sense.

We both appreciate your prayers and support.

We were supposed to take vacation time this week, but that isn't happening. I really needed to be at work as much as possible. Our schedule is going to get busy in the next week or so. There are several things that will need get started and have hard deadlines.

Thanks

Been a while since i updated...

She seems to be improving. Some days are more pain free than others.

She went back to work yesterday for a large part of the day and plans to continue doing so.

She has had a couple of doctor appointments and they more or less confirmed that she is doing about like one could expect. Neither seemed to think that complete healing would be quick.

Getting up and down is tough. Her can had to go to the shop, so she has a rental car. It is a bit harder to get in and out of.

She may be getting physical therapy at some point. That would likely be a good thing - though painful.

This has been going on looking enough now that the bills are coming. Since it started out of state, there is question about what will be covered. Dealing with insurance is always a fun challenge.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the update pco. Steady improvement is certainly good news. Dealing with insurance, "a fun challenge", indeed.

Been a while since I updated.

Wife is doing much better. She is back at work and going to physical therapy. PT is tough, but should help in the long run.

She still has some pain, but is not having to rely on pain meds nearly as much.

She still needs to improve the strength of her breathing. Again something that should come with time and PT.

Thanks so much for your prayers and kind words.
