cracked rib

[tatt2r]

yesterday my girlfriend woke up to a bruised sore side and trouble inhaling ... the day before we had gone on a 300 mile trip around the white mountains of new hampshire on our way back to my shop in salem there was road construction ...the road dropped off.. about 3 inches and i heard her make this uuuuuggg sound ... i said are you all right she said i think so ... she had bounced off the factory back rest and it left a bruise on her side toward the armpit area ... this morning before i left for work i had her sit on bike and sure enough the bruise lined up with left side of the backrest ....
has anyone else had this happen .... i'm thinking of have the seat guy make a softer pad for rest ...

Ribs are surprizing easy to crack. I cracked on once just from coughing!

Vicodin will be a good friend to her right now - :D

Ouch! Been there! A softer pad couldn't hurt.

Aren't they really just borrowing that rib from us men anyway? Ingrates. ;)

Believe it or not, I cracked a couple once just kick starting a Honda 305 Scrambler. You can start on of those pussycats with your bare hand...but not that time! I'd set the rear shock down a notch if she got bounced that bad.

We didn't borrow it James, we took it for good to make the final product. :clap::clap:

I broke two ribs last year at this time myself. Crashed off my RXT Sea-Doo
doing some GPS runs. OUCH! :shocked:

I make a real big splash at almost 70 MPH I can tell you that for sure! LOL

That's the ticket. Doctors around here won't wrap them anymore. Say it doesn't help. It may not help heal them, but it sure as :cus: makes them hurt a lot less. The last time I busted some of mine, I had pleurisy, too, and I couln't stand it until they were wrapped. Hope she heals soon!

God went down to visit Adam and saw that he was looking depressed. Adam told God he was feeling a bit lonely. God thought about it for a minute, and told Adam that he would make him the perfect companion. She wouldn't complain, scold or whine, and she would do everything she could do to make him happy for as long as they both lived. Adam told God that sounded pretty good. There was a catch, however. God told Adam it was going to cost him an arm and a leg. Adam thought about that for a while, then asked God, "What can I get for a rib?" :joke:
