[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 758984, member: 5106"] I had one broken and 3 cracked ribs in '04 when a 2000 lb Holstien cow backed into me as I gave her a shot of fertaline in just a set of round panels. To say I was extremely stupid and extremely lucky, is understatement. I use the chute that was bought for this exact reason from then on. The bad thing with broken ribs is that when they start to heal they hurt like h@ll, even more than when they were first broken and they get super itchy too, and there is no way you can scratch that itch . I had this bad habit of stretching my back to reopen the ribs because it felt better that way. Don't do that unless you want them to take forever to heal and heal crooked as well . ;-) BTW I did not take even an aspirin, even though I was subscribed prescription pain killers. I think sometimes the pain helps us remember how careless and stupid we were.. :nod: Feel better soon lavarancher. :tiphat: Greg, you must have a whole team of Guardian Angels.. Good grief, what you have been through.. [/QUOTE]
