Nora, please check-in when you can again. Worried.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ok, not as dire. The doctor got several xrays done, the lungs are ok. He does have 2 broken ribs though. The theory is that the broken ribs are causing irregular breathing which can lead to infection/pneumonia etc.
They just pumped him full of dilaudid and he's got an abutrol nebulizer breathing treatment going now. I think he'll be discharged in the next hour or so.
Thanks for being here everyone. It helped me keep my shit together, I tell you what.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
the lungs are ok.
Good news. Broken ribs, as I understand, are painful and all. But they heal.
And I am glad you had a place to worry aloud and then be strong with some support, Nora. Tonight sounded scary for you and for Tom.

Cass, yes. I am glad and grateful. Tom was super scared and I was able to stay calm thanks to the late shift.

Yikes! I'm glad Tom has something that time and a bit of care will heal.
Aims, I hope you're feeling better.

{{{Nora & Tom}}} Quick healing to Tom. Do we need to start wrapping Tom in bubble wrap?
{{{{{Pix}}}}} Your reaction sounds calm compared to how I would react.

Healing-ma for Tom. What a stressful night for you guys. Just reading this thread was stressing me out. I am glad it's ribs out of all the possibilities.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh Nora, I am so sorry you and Tom had such a scary night, but I am glad it turned out to be not as dire as it seemed. Heal fast, ribs!

I have an exciting morning planned of waiting for the plumber. I should be doing laundry, but I'm going to hold off in case they need to shut the water off. Some cheap-fix~ma?
