Brief Hiatus
Hey sorry I haven't been around, I was in a car accident a while ago (October) and have had excruciating pain ever since. Well come to find out (January), I apparently fractured 5 of my ribs and no one bothered to scan me correctly until last weekend or so when they did a ct scan on my chest and found that my left side had partially healed while my right side was still broken.
So I am in a lot of pain, my rib bones are fractured as if I fell from a 10ft building (that's what doc told me) and no tramadol is not enough to help it but it is what they gave me so I guess that's the American medical system for you.
Suffer or die trying.
And this damn sims cozy celebrations event won't let me complete the last two quests so I guess I'm out for now. Thanks for hanging around here while I've been gone, I appreciate you all. Idk when I'll be back officially, because being on here is exhausting right now.
Husband is thinking of taking leave from work to help take care of our son so I can rest, it's that bad. So yeah. <3 you all, take care of your loved ones, happy 2025 lol.
Watch Squid Game S2 with T.O.P from Big Bang on Netflix or other arrrr sources. He smoked pot irl and got caught a long time ago, so his country won't show his face on the TVs in South Korea. That is all. xD

So sorry! I hope you'll recover soon 🫂
I'm so sorry, that's awful! I'm wishing you a speedy recovery and I hope the pain ends asap! Get some rest. :)
OMG!!! My prayers are with you for a full recovery. Take care of yourself. Your mental and physical health are more important than any cc or mods. Don't rush anything. Take your time to get better. Peace.
I wish you a good recovery and lots of strength!
Uh, i can definitly sympathize Got 3 broken ribs many years ago and its really painful Wish you the best, take care :)
OH -- wow! In October, I had some kind of awful upper respiratory infection that lasted for 3+ weeks and I coughed so hard, that I broke ribs on both sides of my body. It was the WORST pain ever, so take it VERY easy until you heal (you can also reinjure them very easily; ask me how I know). Cold compresses were the only thing that gave me any relief at all, but let me say this: TRAMADOL IS A JOKE. It does NOTHING. They might as well have given me a placebo or literal sugar cubes. Speaking of the American medical "system," I had to endure three weeks of true, actual misery before my doctor would even THINK about giving me an antibiotic, which knocked the whole thing out immediately. Take it very slowly and give yourself plenty of time to heal up. Whatever anyone is expecting of you can wait; unless they too have also had broken ribs, they have no idea what kind of awful they are.
Take the time to heal and sending you some much needed energy for a smooth recovery! 💛

I am so sorry to hear about this. Please rest and recover as best as you can.
If your tramadol isn't enough, you can take it with tylenol/acetaminophen. Acetaminophen potentiates (makes it work better) anything it is taken with. It's like Robin to the Tramadol Batman. You can only take 1000mg (2 extra strength) every 6hrs but it should help. If your tramadol has some in it, just make sure you don't go over the 1000mg. Be sure to take a stool softener once a day while on the tramadol, as any opioids have a tendency to block one up. And take a gasX or drink peppermint tea because gas pressure while injured sucks. Take all the time you need to rest and recover.
PLEASE take all the time you need to heal. I promise we all can wait until you’re completely healed. Please take care of yourself and talk all the rest, health needed. I promise we’ll be fine while you’re away. Sending love your way 🫶🏾
