From a scot to a scot

Better start lacing up those running shoes, mate.

Went to the doc today at my wifes' urging. Good thing i did. My ribs were not broken or cracked, they were dislocated. I wasn't aware such was possible, but apparently i managed it. After much twisting and bending of my poor body by the doctor (and much mumbling and quiet cursing by yours truly) I have been told to expect to back to normal in a week, back on the pipes in ten days.

It still hurts like blue blazes, but it's a different kind of pain. I can't explain it any better than that. My sternum still feels like I've been hit with a refrigerator, but my back and sides feel different.

May I take the liberty of both congratulating you on a good sense of humor and also pirate your O.P. for the benefit of a few friends?

Well, four anyway.

I agree, I DO have a wonderful sense of humour, or at least people are always expressing wonder about my sense of humour, but of course I can't take credit for this particular piece: I got it via email and just copied and pasted it.
