Broke a few ribs as a young man bailing off of a motorcycle. Not even injured as bad as this and I still remember how miserable I was then, so I can't even imagine what you must be going through. Get well and be safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 THREE broken ribs? Holy cow. Glad you got checked out. Wishing you a speedy and comfortable recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ambrose Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 At our age, falling is a big deal. Glad you got looked at. Speaking from experience, rib injuries do not heal well on their own. I'm sorry you're in such discomfort. I hope you heal well, and quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old pair of knee pads that I got at Home Depot when I was doing some flooring jobs in the house. I use them every time I'm pulling weeds in the flower beds or any time I have to get down on my hands and knees. They are well worth the investment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 David, if get down I use a stool too raise up and sit on a stool wait then get up. My right side is like I have had a stroke. So I never get down unless I have fallen. My right arm is weak but I can use my had some. My leg is weak but I have ner given up walking. I am a blessed man and never let it get me down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some very dense foam pads from work, thicker than gardening pads and they hold up. That follows me everywhere. I just took a muscle relaxer and an oxy. I'm not doing much today on the car. I'm having the last 2 tires mounted and have to get some brake parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a gardening bench that I now use all the time. I can sit on it, rest a drink on it, lay tools on it. I use it also to get up off the ground. Or I grab a car bumper (old cars only...). I picked up a little work platform from HF. that is quite handy and helps me out. I'm just totally beat up from getting the yard and pool together. The new '66 Chevy pushed me over the edge. Other than that I'm in good shape and stay active as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
