Best wishes also Doug & hope you get better soon.

Perhaps in the meantime you should change your Avatar to read "Chief Sitting Bull". smile

Hi Doug,

I saw the headlines and the photo and name and did not recognise that it was our Doug, under the hat and with the sunnies.

Since reading this thread I have since returned to the newsletter. I guess that if I had of read the article and notice the Big Chief and Colorado It would have clicked immediately.

So Doug, all the very best for a speedy recovery.

Southern Winter is on the way, and you will need to be fit to head off on your annual treck up to Far North Qld.

Cheers

Jay&Dee.

I read that article about 'the bad landing' in the land of milk & honey, but did not realise that it was Doug.

Get well soon.

Perhaps a box of those whistles that they give to injured footballers & surfers might be in order to ease the pain.

Certainly a change from milk & honey is a must. Hard to fall over if you are legless & have to crawl into bed.

Well said Jetta, Dougwe always has a positive attitude and is a very well respected contributor to the forum. Get well soon.

From Brian and Wendy, Met you at Greens Lake couple of years back. We do wish you a restful recovery, might take a while. These things happen so quickly. Did a similar thing myself in the dark the other night at Epic. Lovely spot, hard bitumen, not good for the patellas and hands, bit of gravel rash. Will get Brian to take the dog for a walk at night now and give him a torch

Bryan · Guru

Take care and get well soon

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Gee, shucks, I've got all embarrassed now.

All that aside, thankyou Jetta and everyone else for you kind thoughts.

I am still in heaps of pain but just found out today I am on the wrong dose so that will change tonight and I hope some pain will go. A long healing process in front of me though.

Keep safe on the roads and out there (OH! and going down steps)

Hey doug, r u sure that was milk n manuka honey? Strop says when u fxxkup you do a good job of it. If it really was milk n manuka honey perhaps next time try something a little mind numbing biggrin anyway, get well soon . Kind thoughts. Rocket n strop

iana · Guru

After reading all of this, I am going to have a talk to a good Chinese friend of mine Dr. Ah Sup he specializes in trips and falls. He will know all about milk n Manuka honey.

Get well quick. Ian.
P.S. don't laugh, it hurts.

woofta and precious · Senior Member

Geez Dougwe, look after yourself! We need to have someone to look up to! You would have to be the Chief of Calm and Sensibility...

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Thanks again every one. Just a little update. Rib pain is no better. I am seeing a different GP tomorrow 14/3 as I am now in Young NSW. Hopefully he will give me some better pain killers and sort my leg injury as well. I think it is getting worse and smells.

blaze · Guru

Hi Doug
Did you spill the milk and honey

Try whisky next time, less pain and more reason not to spill

Whats ya vitamin d levels like, mine were low and I had a lot of leg infections, up the vitamin d and no more infections

Watch it close

Get well or at least better soon
cheers

Sorry to hear of your accident Doug. Ribs can be a bastard, I broke four at one time when bucked off a horse. Couldn't lie down flat or turn over at night without lots of pain. Ended up propping a couple of pillows on the end of the lounge and sleeping/dozing in sitting up position for a month. As for the leg - get some good old Rawleigh's salve, the yellow, sulphur-based stuff, put some on with a Melolin patch that doesn't stick to wound and a bandage. Change the dressing every few days and it will heal everything in time - I had an ulcer on the front of my shin bone and cleared it up with that - took about a month though.
Cheers,
... Val

G'day Dougwe

I hope it all works out for you with the new doctor and that they get the problems under control
Get well soon my friend

Regards Marjoleine& John

DMaxer · Guru

Hi Doug. At least the NRL begins tonight so you can put your sore leg up, lean back on a few pillows and see other people getting injured.

Hope your recovery is speedy. I have had broken ribs and they are painful.

Onwards and upwards! There is no future in the alternative.

Dougwe · Chief one feather

YES! Change of GP and change of pain killer and a Anti Inflammatory added to the mix has helped heaps. After 4 weeks of being told leg damage is not infected, IT IS! Surprise, surprise, surprise. I told 'em but no one listened. Antibiotic for that as well.

Anyone need a Chemist confuse I am a walking one at the moment cry biggrin
