No, not reliability issues......

 

......but real pain!

 

I bought PhilP's blue ZX last Saturday, as one or 2 people know. Anyway last Sunday I was, amoung other things, installing a CD changer system in the boot. Whilst crouching in the back, removing the rear seat cushion, I heard a small crack. Not sure if it was me or the car; next thing I know I feel a sharp pain in my chest that left me winded for a few minutes.....

 

......Long story short, I have been in pain all week; so after visiting the doctor (actually, Julia dragged me there. As usual.) I was told there's a 50% chance I've cracked a rib:slap:

 

I don't know if I have - it could be just a muscle strain - but it f***ing well hurts. A lot - especially whilst breathing!

 

How could I have been so clumsy - it must be age:o

 

Richard:smw:

Jesus Richard! How the hell did you crack a rib!?!?

 

Luckily I've never broken a bone in my body! Been pretty lucky.

Really sorry to hear you've hurt yourself bud........ you clumsy bugger ;)

 

Hope you're on the mend soon, and that it's not too serious!! :duffer:

Ouch - saw the title and thought something had gone wrong with the car. But as long as the car's ok ;)

 

Only joking. Like si, fortunately i've never broken anything either. Get well soon.

Heard a small crack ffs!!!! nutter :rofl::rofl:

Cracked mine at football in February this year...... just started to feel better a couple of weeks ago.......they take a long time too heal:slap:

Don't know Si - there's of course a 50% chance I may not have though;)

Heh heh heh - you're all heart, Phil! The car's in better shape than me at the mo:rofl:

 

Really sorry to hear you've hurt yourself bud........ you clumsy bugger ;)

Cheers Dave - I guess I was clumsy. I was trying to finish the job quickly so we could go out for lunch.......:wack:

The doctor told me they can take ages to heal too - she also advised taking 4-6 painkillers 4 times a day if it gets too sore! I'm not doing that - I never take medication unless absolutely life threateningly necessary.....

Im sure plenty of people could change that for you Si :rofl:

 

You going to the meet today as its near?

I have broken ribs regular mate. Nice hot bath only worked for me. They do repair stronger mind.

Zed 1 - Richard 0 :p

 

What the feck do they do to repair that or keep it in a position for it to repair??

ouch dude not good.. ya never said anything yesterday....

 

hope it all heals i crack 3 ribs playing football at 14years old.. does hurt

Doh! Best of luck to you mate!

i did that trying to get myself under a zed dashboard.All my weight on the corner of the sill, instant pain+ then couldnt get out.oops.

Times all that helps....apart from copious amounts of alcohol.

I cracked some ribs falling off my mountainbike, fookin' hurts!!

If you've bruised them, it'll be about 2 weeks, cracked ones take

around 6-8 weeks to heal.

Had almost healed when i entered a xc race and did the same thing again.

Same side too! Still finished though.

Used to hurt most first thing in the morning, for an hour or so, then it'd

get better throughout the day.

 

Get well soon richard!

I know mate - I don't like to moan.......

 

..........although I'm going to milk it at home for a few weeks to get Julia running around for me......

 

.......Now I'd better tell her to go out and mow the lawn - it's getting a bit long;)

 

And thanks for all your kind words chaps:cool:
