That sounds very painful bill, but Lord knows it could have been worse. Take good care of each other. Elaine sends her love. ROY

What a way to start the New Year! I was so sorry to read this thread, though relieved that it wasn't worse. Bill & Lorna, you know our thoughts & prayers are with you. Here's looking to better times in 2001!

love, but no hugs just now,

bbc & Duane D.

P.S.--I'm trying to catch up on my email!

It seems the last message I put onto this thread didn't make it!! Sorry to hear about the crash. Just because Chris had one cracked rib you had to go one better. Lots of love to you and Lorna. Hope you start to feel a bit less hurty soon. xxxx

I think bill had better avoid reading this thread or he'll do himself an injury. In fact it might be better to keep well away from the Mudcat for the time being. Let Lorna risk it.

And everyone MIND THE ICY ROADS, as he said. I've just skidded my car and demolished two panels of a neighbour's fence, plus a concrete fence post - ended up neatly and narrowly missing his two cars parked on the other side. And that was with me going at about two miles an hour. (No damage to me or anyone else though, which is the main thing. And no musical instruments damaged either.)

So stay home if you can!!

The Amazing Flying Sables ...he flies through the air with the greatest of ease ... splut!!! Whoops.

You really should not try to refine your circus act in the interior of your car, Mr. Sables.

Glad to hear you and Lorna are doing ok after this encounter with gravity and inertia. Big fat hairy bummer!

Take good care of yourselves. If I make it to the U.K. this summer, I expect to see you both fit and feisty and ready to take me around to your favorite pubs and musical haunts!

Best regards, WW

Seen Bill and Lorna today, Who was it that said laughter was the best medicine ? Not in this case, Bill is still very sore about the ribs and laughing IS a problem. Keep drinking Lorna's herbal tea Bill and get those ribs healed before the banjo rusts!

WW - there's a bed here for you if you need it..... musical haunts available for the taking... will introduce you to proper beer, you will not know what hit you!

Bill - how are the trees, did you say sorry?? Tree huggers will be on your case if you didn't! *BG*

Hope you are better soon, no use to us if we can't give you a big bear hug next time we meet....!

Llanfair Bron, Mrs Cobble brought me some comfrey tea today. It tastes like witches piss, not a patch on Yorkshire Tea but if it does my ribs good I will suffer it, thanks for the suggestion.
I hope you all have a safe, ice free (Except in the drinks)and enjoyable new years eve, This will be my first ever NYE staying at home
Love Bill

I would like to warn Bill that comfrey "can" be toxic.....some people are allergic to it, and it is on the list of "cautioned" herbs........esp. for internal use. Boneset (which is not comfrey) could also help.

The herb contains alkaloids (I'm reading from a book) which can cause liver damage. It is only present in minute amounts, or sometimes not at all, in the aerial parts from which the tea is made. Most is in the root. I'd suggest, given the taste and with the advised caution, you don't make it your main drink of the day! (I've made comfrey liquid manure, and I have never smelt anything so disgusting!) The book recommends applying comfrey ointment, cream or infused oil onto fractures. Not onto broken skin, though. I hope the tea has helped, because it does have anti-inflammatory properties.

Hey Bill and Lorna, just logged on. Sorry to hear about your bump. Hope you are recovering OK. Beware of bust ribs Bill. I bust 2 in the summer falling off my bike-they still ache. have a happier start to the new year, better than the ending to the old one..

Hi Bill, hope you and Lorna are feeling a little better. One bit of advice is to try and think positive thoughts (even when the ribs hurt)people who are more positive heal quickly.
someone once said that laughter was the best medicine - perhaps not in this case, but I am sure a smile will not hurt
See you at the Jug

If anyone is going to the Jug tomorrow would you call at the local Chinese Takeaway and get me a portion of spare ribs. Mrs Cobble is calling to pick me up as I can't drive yet and she is also collecting Sam Pirt. Last Wednesday, the day after the accident, my ribs felt much better than they do now, they have got more painful as the week has progressed. Most of the bloody scabs have gone from my head now and new skin is growing (It's a pity the bloddy hair isn't)I have no discolouration on my chest but my shirts are not fitting like they used to so I must have some sort of swelling, Has anyone any old bras I could borrow? I am growing like Widdow Twankey. Thanks for all your good wishes,I know it still hurts like hell but it is better than being in a wheelchair or a coffin.
Cheers Bill
