What a Bummer
by landranger68Having enjoyed to great walks on Sunday on a very sultry Weatherlam,Monday Half the Kentmere round from Troutbeck,and what was to be a leisurely walk around Buttermere yesterday.I tripped heading for the Fish Hotel landing unceremonously in a heap.Much discomfort throughout the night had to visit Kendal A&E.Result possible cracked Ribs,Xray unclear.Looks like i will be joining in with thousands licking Icecream around the Shore of Windermere☹☹

MoMorningdawnDidn't the Fish Hotel have any vinegar and brown paper they could have wrapped you in 😀
Ah Keith, feel so sorry for you. Nothing worse than cracked ribs. Worse pain I ever had.

RRourkyGet well soon Keith
BJBlue JohnHi,Thank you all for your kind thoughts.Clive,when a Sheep eats your icecream,what do you do with the cone?😋
lalandranger68I find Old Peculiar makes a pretty good painkiller 🙂 ... Get Well Soon
ONOutdoors Nick and KathyXray? You lucky thing. When I went to the docs with suspected cracked ribs she jabbed me in the chest reet hard with two stiffened fingers, then said, "Nah, you haven't got cracked ribs. You didn't scream load enough!"🤔
Apparently its harder to crack ribs than you might think, so lets hope its just bruising.
Hope you & OutdoorNick mend well!
BMBionic ManHope you are soon on the mend Keith Take Care 🙂
I shall not lower the tone Glen as poor Keith cannot laugh with his ribs, i shall merely ignore your attempt to hijack his thread and again wish him well in his recovery..😋
on 24/07/14 @ 14:18Never broken a rib in me playing days Keith but i did pop the rib cartilage and boy oh boy did that hurt. Everyone ive known with a rib injury is the same, docs leave it not unless threatening lungs etc way back theyd bind you up.
RRourkyAw Keith sending an e-hug ... a real one might hurt too much! Take good care x
DJDebbieJHi Everyone,Thank you for your kind and thoughytful comments.It is a strange situation for me,looking up to my favourite Hills instead of looking down from them.
lalandranger68Steve,Kendal Hospital were very thorough,with no Rip un-tapped🙂🙂
Yes you have my sympathy Keith- get well soon! I fell on a pole once skiing, a ski pole, not an eastern european! Sadly though, these injuries can take several weeks to heal but you're a fit chappy and that always helps. Liz the phizz!!!x
lilizziedGet well soon Keith,hope to see you out and about again soon.Magic dust needed 🙂
