cracked rib?

[pocaracas]

When o broke a few bones in my foot playing football as a goalie, a few minutes before that injury, I got a guy's foot stuck between my chest and arm... That was probably a cracked rib, too...
After having my foot in a cast, I asked the doc Abbott the pain on my side chest area and he just said "nothing we can do there".
So comforting...

Talked to a relative who has had several of them and we're thinking I managed to do my first a couple weeks age with a little slide and bump on a stairway.

Medically, not much can be done, it isn't bad enough to puncture my lung, so it's a put up with it till it gets better.

Poo!  Damn thing hurts!

Some portuguese like me, like to bullfight. I like to do 'pegas', meaning grabbing a bull head on. 4 broken ribs till now. Yep, it hurts.

I'm imagining a certain uncle looking down upon my discomfort and thinking "payback time, ass wipe!"

He would be the one I flipped out of the back of a pickup several years ago going over some rural railroad crossing, and breaking some of his ribs as a result . . . . .

Here is what I was talking about.





Yep, it must be karma for your uncle lol.

Ouch, my sympathies

And now projectile shitting on top of ribs. You sure know how to walk on the wild side.

At least he doesn't have to strain to squeeze one out!

I cracked a rib coughing, New Year's Eve, 2010. Heard the riverfront fireworks from the ER at the VA. When the Doc told me what had happened I naturally WTF'd. "You big guys are more susceptible to that kind of thing." Thanks, Doc.

I got one from coughing in 2011, but the doc said, "you should think about putting on some weight."

Can't win for losing.

To face head to head with such a proud beast is such an honor and adrenaline rush that you don't even feel a thing. At least in that day. The folowing days sure are sore.

I gained some sense. This body of mine can't take the hit as when in my teens, so I dialed down on that. Also reporting to work all mangled up the next day. It is not nuts. It is understanding bulls and precisely hug them at the right time. And hope the crew helps softening the momentum before the edge of the arena. I usually run with a good crew.

Not in any moment I mock the bull. That is why we call them by shouting "Ò toiro lindo.". They cant stand a compliment I guess.
