Broke a damnable rib
« on: October 26, 2016, 04:12:41 PM »
So much for getting out deer hunting this weekend.  I might be able to chase the dogs around and shoot a couple planted birds at Scatter Creek, but drawing my bow is not going to happen. 

I don't know, maybe I will go out with my crossbow or muzzle loader (it doesn't have that much recoil).  Shooting a slug gun is a non starter though, but then again once you have pulled the trigger the stealthy part of the hunt is generally over and screaming in pain isn't going to do much to screw up the hunt at that point. 

The big problem is dragging the meat out.

What happened? Did you slip on a puddle of water in the bed of the truck? Just giving you the business, sorry you got hurt.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I was headed up to visit Grandma at St Joes Saturday and sneezed and felt a Charlie horse on my side, then felt another sneeze coming on and there was little I could do.  As soon as I sneezed I knew I had either separated a rib or cracked one.

Then went to bed Monday and about three in the morning went to roll over and was fighting a pillow and a three year old in the process and heard it snap.  Managed half a day at work yesterday while in denial, but about noon I accepted reality and went in to see the doc. 

I have theses involuntary violent sneezing fits every once in a while and usually can brace myself and they are not a big deal. 

I suspect a few will get a kick out of my suffering this week after I was "being mean" last week, I guess what goes around does come around.

No more base jumping for a while.  Take care of yourself.

Broken ribs are very painful, been down that road a few times. Just remember to keep breathing deep, even though it hurts. My last time with broken ribs I ended up with lung fluid problems because of shallow breathing. I like your attitude of shoot the muzzle loader and then just scream, sounds like you'll be fine, but sorry it happened.
Disappointments are inevitable, misery is optional.

No good man, I hope you heal quickly.

I busted a rib the day before opener of modern deer season sneezing!!!  Talk about hurt like hell, I cant sneeze, fart and or cough without crying like a girl.  But I still hunted every day and Im going elk hunting for 9 days on friday. Not much you can do for a broke rib. 
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

The Whiners suck!!

Would shooting with your other shoulder work better?  What about hunting pistols?

Heal fast!  :tup:
