Yes, folks, I've done it again.

Fractured my ribs again. For those who have never experienced broken ribs it's incredibly painful.
I'm on a slow release opiod patch; called Norspan.
There's nothing that can be done but keep very still for the next few weeks.
My wee furry companion Smudge is encouraging this, she sits on me most of the day and sleeps on me all night, she knows I'm not the best right now.
Do your animals look after you when you're not 100%?

@Pitchblue this is awful. When was this taken? It looks all infected. What happened?

Pitchblue

@LadyGrace Around a year ago. Knee replacement and the other one was operated on.

LadyGrace ·

@Pitchblue Oh my. So how do you like your new knee? I know that’s a terrible operation. Has it worked out for you?

Pitchblue

@LadyGrace Yes it's so much better know.

Oh, wow. I need two knee replacements. I refuse to do it. I’ve been bone on bone in both knees for the last 13 years. Still do not walk with a cane. I think that’s pretty good. Especially for my age.@Pitchblue

@LadyGrace I walked with crutches the same day as the operation.

@Pitchblue Yes, a friend of mine did, too. I’m so glad this worked good for you.
