Unlike everyone else in the comments, I'm now letting it grow out, for the first time in 30 years. He's hinting he wants to trim it again but I'm holding out for the real hairdresser.<br /><br />Broken ribs really suck. They get in the way of the most fundamental thing--breathing. Sounds like you have a plan for recovery, and Glen is again showing himself to be a prince among husbands.

Accept it with grace. It is good to let someone else do the giving and return a portion of the many things you have done for them.<br /><br />And yeah, weeping is part of the healing. You'd be sad for anyone else who had an accident. Not unreasonable to be sad for yourself when you've had one. As my Brit mother used to say, "Keep your pecker up."

It is so hard to accept help, but there is nothing more humbling than illness or pain.<br /><br />My mama and little peep escaped their enclosure today and that was about it for excitement around here, but my heart was racing after I finally was able to scoop up the little peep (she is too small to get up the ginormous two steps from the yard onto the patio and mama was screaming and caterwauling, helpless to get her little one).<br /><br />May you heal quickly.

I'll offer my suggestion that you order a gravity chair -- my mother literally slept on one for two years when she had horrific back issues. The one she used was literally about $100 and she'd lay pretty blankets and pillows on it. I even have one here from when she'd come and stay with us. <br />Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-10903856653482182302020-07-25T21:02:07.554-04:002020-07-25T21:02:07.554-04:00Don't try to do anything that isn't immedi...Don't try to do anything that isn't immediately necessary to you.

Moving, sleeping (or trying to), and simply just getting on with life is pretty hard when things hurt so much. Feeling those ribs shift around was scary, too. It will take a while to feel like doing anything again. Sleeping in a recliner does help. I know it's hard to let someone else do stuff, but it's the best thing that can happen. Think weeks to heal, not days, shit. Don't laugh, don't cough, oh, it's just a real pain in the ass. You have my most heartfelt sympathy. It takes time. I hope you sleep well tonight.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025420690188537492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-5923307141329122592020-07-25T19:52:52.821-04:002020-07-25T19:52:52.821-04:00and to answer your question...rain off and on all ...and to answer your question...rain off and on all day.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.com
