DennisLinkletter Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I have a 90º fracture in my 7th rib that is sticking up about and inch and a half. Been trying to live with it since last Oct but needs to be corrected. I've opted to just remove it rather than try to fix it.. Probably will not be online this week as much as usual. Am scheduled to fly home to Bali on the 8th.. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Pescador Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Probably not the right forum to ask what you plan to do with that rib (fava beans and a nice chianti...?) Bad jokes aside, that sounds painful! Wishing you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuley Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 You have been living with a rib sticking out and inch and a half since October?? How did you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisLinkletter Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Was released from the hospital today.. Only hurts if I laugh, cough or I'm guessing sneeze. My wife was pleased the rib did not turn into a young lady named Eve.. Good news is I've been given the green light for shipping the extruded CoCo Char.. We have about 4 tons made and are working overtime to get a container out asap. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi Dennis. I hope your trip home today goes smoothly. Good luck with the recovery. I have found that the first 72hrs, when you are still high on the stuff the docs pump into you, feel great. Give in to the crash when it comes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
