Update -- Whether You Believe It Or Not

[Kelly Green]

I had every intention of showing up at the Gate but Saturday afternoon while walking to my car after a soccer game, I tripped on one of those "decorative" wooden ties (2-by-4s) the school district put around its flower beds. I landed on my face, glasses fortunately didn't break but I did -- not major, I hope. The worst part was the 35 and 40-types (and even one girl from the opposing team) coming over to see if the fat old man was OK

My ribs on the left side hurt like a bitch and it's pure Hell every time I sit or stand. Breathing got easier as the day went on but it's 5:30 Sunday morning and I've been sleeping in my chair because I don't even want to think around laying down and then getting up.

I didn't say anything about my decision because I was just going to show up and say "Surprise"; I'll have to eat the Aramingo myself (my only consolation).

Fuck. Hope you guys have fun.

[Eagle In Ohio]

KG, you sound real fuckin soft right now

Get to the goddamned gayte !!

[common wealth]

I would love to give you some shit, but broken ribs are no joke (if you did indeed break them) You're going to be in pain no matter where you are, you might as well be in pain at the gayte.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Pictures or it didn't happen.

[IronEagle]

Hope you feel better.

I do have reason to believe there will be some special guests at the gayte. Understand if you can't make it but Zubaz offer isn't too bad.

It Hurts Too Much To Drive

Getting home was a pain -- literally. Luckily I sleep on my right side but when I sat up this morning, it didn't hurt quite as much but it's still bad.

I don't think I cracked a rib -- had one about 5 years ago so I know what it feels like. This is more like intense bruised muscle pain.

As for pictures there's nothing to see, which I couldn't have said if I had fallen on the macadam walkway -- instead did my face-plant in mulch and leaves.

Despite the possible presence of certain individuals, I was really looking forward to today -- what's the rest of the schedule look like? My wife and her sisters will be in Arizona Nov. 16.

Today wasn't in the cards -- AARRGGHH!

Sorry 'bout the tumble KG...hope you don't have allergies as sneezing is a bitch with sore ribs.

[3rd & Inches]

You need to go to Urgent Care or the ER. Falls at your age, can lead to something else. Possible blood clot could be traveling to your lungs. I give you shit, but please go get checked out.

That's The Problem -- I'm Allergic To Cat Hair

...and I married a cat person! We've had two cats (different combinations) since we got hitched. She's even converted me because they're far trouble to take care of than dogs.

Unfortunately, I have the same old allergy, although I've able to fight off the sneezes -- so far!
