[Meg-in-MT]

I'm joining Meg with a sick note.
I'm having trouble believing it.
Since the night I took Donk off her nest out on the bank I've had a pain in my lower ribs.
I was in St Celoni, the closest town with a ER dept. I went for an X ray. I've cracked the two lowest ribs on my left side.
I had to reach way over the fence to get Donk; like feet off the ground reach. Of course that means you're effectively balancing on whatever is in contact with the top or the fence; in this case my two lower ribs apparently.
That Donk is going to get me dead one day. She's the only really persistent nest outside away from the coop hen left here. I suppose she's gone to sit and hatch a clutch maybe a dozen times since she hatched, ten of those were outside in some inaccessible location.

Oh, no! I've heard ribs are a real bugger, and cracked aren't any less painful than broken Sorry to hear this. Darn Donk and her hide-y nests
Hope you heal up quickly!

Boy! I'll have to remember this. I've done exactly the same maneuver but didn't crack any ribs. I won't be doing it again. Nor will you, I hope!

Sorry to hear about the cracked ribs Shad. Donk might have to take care of herself for a while so you can take care of you. Did they tape you up so the ribs don't move?

No, no tape thankfully. The ribs being only cracked are already fusing. What I can feel is apparently the muscles and tendons.

Oh Shad I hope you drink milk or get some calcium supplementation. Men get osteo-porosis as well as women. Real men do drink milk ( and put Ovaltine in it). Captain Midnight of the secret squadron always did. So do I. I still have a Capt. Midnight cup with handle with a decal of him on it. One day I will have to see how much it's worth. I'm guessing millions if listed with the right auction house.

And that's bad enough. Take it easy!

No worries Nancy. I'll just tuck into the calcium carbonate the chicken eat.
