Tonight after dinner at our staff conference I decided to bail and head back to be with wife and baby.
I walked to the train station and then heard a train coming so made a runner for the train. (Yes i did validate my metcard).
I ran towards the train and the doors where just starting to close I made it most of the way in but then some how the door slammed into my rib. I wasn’t expecting it and it got me really hard. In sydney if the door closes on you it just sort of stops there is no pressure but the melbourne doors are determined to close no matter what obstacle lay in their way. So my rib copped a beauty. I spent the whole train trip home gasping a bit for air and every time i moved it hurt.
It could be bruised or maybe even cracked, who knows but it bloody hurts and still does.
No real use seeking medical help as they can’t do anything for ribs.
Oh dear. I feel the need to fuss!
More fussing…….How are you now?
.. yup they can’t do anything about ribs – so probably nothing to be done. Even so, I’d be tempted to have it checked. want to be sure its not damaged a lung or something.. (although I suppose you’d know if you’d punctured a lung…)
still hurts, but i’m a tough guy. If it’s still hurting when i’m back in sydney town next week ill go to the doc
You could sue them. Or at very least demand they use you in a poster campaign for railway safety. If you get some prosthetic limbs then they’d have you use you.
