broken ribs
well i chalk most pain up to nueropathy.... but this time Dan had broken ribs. Last week Dan had fallen at my daughters - well didnt listen and took himself down her driveway and tipped over his wheel chair... no complaints no harm no foul... took a few days but apparently there was a foul... he broke some ribs -- it took a bit of time for it to present ( kinda like when he fell in the shower in AZ) .. so here i have been saying nueropathy and the poor guy had broken ribs... but it wouldnt / didnt change any treatment.. But of course puts us on heightened alert of pneumonia . and we all ready know all our survivors are on alert now i have to really watch him... It literally always is "something".. but broken ribs has a "face" and nueropathy does not - so i guess in a wierd way ( very wierd i know) i am glad it has a face.. the pain he has had for the last several days... remember my previous blog - doing OK, dare i say it? well i should not have...LOL so lots of fluids and deep breathing for dan - but he is a good patient about things like deep breathing -- fluids not so much.... hmmm hmmm hmmmm... ( head shaking) .... Nancyl
