My name is David and with my dog Lefty we live full time in our converted ambulance RV. I made this change to my 'standard' life and you can too! Like, subscribe and comment - Lefty would appreciate it - he wants the adventures to keep coming!
The Campulance is a 2002 Ford E450 Marque Commando 164 Class III ambulance powered by the Ford 7.3l Powerstroke diesel engine and a 4 speed transmission. Lefty is a 65lb Staffordshire Terrier (best I can tell) that came from the Verona Street Animal Shelter in March 2014 at the age of 9 months. We have been living full time in the campulance since July 2019.
I'll be praying 🙏
Thank you :)
Dogs are man's and women's best friend, they always know, their instincts always work like radar! That's when you know that the person taking care of them is awesome too! Thank you for sharing and heal up! See you next time!😃❤👍
Consider your painful sacrifice as a much needed lesson to all of us. I’m currently moving and I’ve been wearing flip-flops this whole time. I HATE shoes!! But I’m gonna switch to shoes today and potentially prevent a major accident for myself. So thank you for the reality check. My back thanks you! Awww Lefty love is the best love. ❤️ from AZ!
Don't do the flip flops! I was being lazy and didn't put on sneakers...
Hope you feel better real soon. You are too important, special and loved by so many.
Thanks brother - I'm keeping myself stationary so I can heal up!
I hope you feel better....take care...
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
So sorry to hear about your misstep😣 The damage is done. Please take time now to heal so you won't aggravate your injury. 🌻🌲🌿
Be well! Take care of yourself!
feel better soon.
I can relate because I’ve cracked my ribs when I slipped in my bathtub! Even laughing hurt so much. I guess that’s why a dog is a man’s best friend.
It's such tough pain because each movement gets you :/
“Safety third,” is my motto, I have the scars to prove it.
😆
🤣😂
Sorry you got hurt, but glad you have Lefty to take care of you. Good boy Lefty ... what a fine doggy.
He's with me all day while I lay flat :) thanks Matt
Keep listening to your body - rest and heal!
Man, that's rough! Good thing Lefty's lookin' out for you
You are lucky it could have been a lot worse, as we get older takes longer to heal. Stay safe !!! You have two great kids LOL
Thanks Wattsa :)
OUCH! Soft tissue injuries are always worse the second and third day. Bad cheese doodles bad! Your Lefty is precious - dogs have a level of empathy like no other animal, so glad he is in your life and don’t beat yourself up. That is why we call them mistakes!
Feel better soon
Oh dang David. Sorry about your injury 😞 I'm sure lefty feels your pain. the animal world is amazing. Humans should be as intuitive n caring as them. Anyway healing thoughts coming your way for a speedy recovery. Blessings always
Thank you Elaine :)
get well soon
Thank you
Sorry to hear of your injury. Don’t feel bad. I damaged a short rib just by jogging. Thought I was having a heart attack. Went to the doctor who said to stay quiet for a few days - no jogging - and it’ll be fine. Rest was the answer at that point. Be well, David!
I've been laid up for 2 days so far and starting to heal :) thanks Terry
It happened to me, so I know the pain, David. 👍👍👍
Ouch, that description made my toes curl
Sorry to hear about your accident David hope you get better soon.I bruised my rib once and boy did that hurt. Lefty know your hurting for sure. Good luck.
Thanks Tom
Oh that sucks, I hope you are on the up and up mending fast! I'm so sorry to hear that. I feel for ya! Dogs do know when their best friend is in pain. Best of luck for a speedy recovery!
Thank you Dawn
You got this. One year I was wearing flip flops and tripped over a curb. I broke my ankle in 3 places and dislocated it, that's not the bad part yet. I ended up constantly having infections in my ankle and re broke it again. The infections kept going on for a year and a half, they finally had to ampute my right leg below the knee. So see you got this.
I've learned my lesson with the flip flops! So sorry to hear of your struggle 😞
Very scary. Falling from any height is no joke. Hoping you are doing better soon.
I'm still recovering from a quadricep tendon rupture in my right knee from last October. My Boston Terrier, Brady, laid by my side faithfully. As I regained mobility, he always made sure he stayed close to me, but not in the way. They definitely know. I hope you feel better soon.
Nothing worse than broken ribs awfully painful 😖 hope your feeling better soon. Take care Campulance man
Wish you well. Your boy knows your in pain! And, don’t be hard on your self…live and Lear right.
Thank you
A wise man told me one time that I was my own worst enemy lol hope you feel better soon so I say been there done that!!!! Ouch!!!
Oh David! I am so sorry that you injured your ribs. Dogs are so sensitive! I am not a bit surprised that Lefty was so attentive. My brother suffered from a seizure disorder and he could have gotten a service dog that would have been able to sense when a seizure was starting. In that way, my brother could have inserted a tongue guard before onset. Isn’t that wonderful? I just love doggies! Take care, buddy, and if you don’t start improving in a day or so, get an X-ray…..just to be sure…..🙂
Thank you Terri - woke up this morning a bit better :)
Take care of yourself. Dogs are so sensitive to our pain whether physical or mental.
Thank you Barb
So sorry about your accident! Yes sadly, i know exactly what you mean about realizing you injured yourself. I fell on a snow covered driveway..[hidden ice] came down on my wrist. smoosh.. crush & displacement. surgery to realign & permanent plate. glad you are beginning to feel better... just don't rush your recovery .
I'm taking it slow... a little better each day :)
Owies, that sucks! BUT it happened near family and medical care so maybe better to occur under those circumstances than in the middle of nowhere. Just frightening and painful enough that you'll remember it when you are out miles from help and thinking about working on something in scuffs. 👀😳😁
Feel better soon!!
Ouch is right!
Try hot long bath soaking in Epson salt! Sure has help me in the past! Wish you a quick recovery !
Eye protection, hearing protection and proper footwear. It shows character to admit what you have in this video.
What a mistake I made... flip flops... what was I thinking
I’m wishing you a speedy recovery! So sorry this happened. ✨💖✨
I injured my ribs a few years ago. Very painful. So I can sympathize with you. Someone suggested eating pineapple to help with pain & healing. Pineapple contains bromelain. I know it sounds weird but it helped.
Interesting, thank you.
Pineapple can also help to stop coughing, it's the bromelain.
Dang, brother!! I feel your pain! Literally!!! I know that hurts like all get-out, but it could've been much worse. Take it easy and resist the temptation to jump back into the work....I know the feeling!! I was forbidden from lifting more than 10 pounds for most of last year due to several surgeries to fix a compressed nerve and I about went bonkers not being able to do anything. But I don't bounce back as fast as I used to, so I let it ride. :) Getting older does NOT suck....quite the opposite....but things seem to hurt worse and stick around longer after 50!! :P
Thanks for keeping us in the loop, and letting us know what's going on with you. And a big shout out and kudos to the absolute best dog in the world!! Lefty knew you were hurting and he stayed right with you. He's such a sweet boy!
I believe dogs absolutely can tell when we're angry, sad, in pain....several years ago my little spaniel would curl up right next to me on the couch and just sit there....not asleep...just providing comfort with her presence when I was *really* down.
I don't bounce back like I used to... :/
Yikes.. sorry to hear bout this. Hope you're doing better soon ! I've done something similar with some slip ons.. hindsight is always 20/20 😲🤪👍
What a mistake!! Thanks Paul. I'm laying low...
Ten years ago you would of caught yourself. At our age we need to be extra careful plus it takes longer for wounds to heal. Get well soon.
That I agree with!
@@TheCampulanceMan Dog germs help with cuts and scrapes by the way.
Your right about the ribs there is not much you can do except rest . Give it some time to start the healing process maybe a week or so . Then ease into it because it won’t take much to aggravate it. Your right about dogs they know when your not feeling well . My wife fell ill with lung cancer our dog treated her so gentle . She showed so much love to my wife till she passed . Even as mourned my wife she was my buddy. Dogs understand more then people give credit for. I hoping to be on the road with my dog by the end of the summer I need to finish healing myself. Sorry I went on about myself so long
I'm just laying low with Lefty next to me. He definitely seems sensitive to me and is being really calm and gentle.
OW! … OWWWW!! … OWWWWWWW!!! Sorry you did yourself in … twice counting the Cheese Doodles! I haven’t seen Wise snacks since I grew up in New Joisey five decades ago!
As a helpful suggestion from my experience (don’t ask!) you should make a shield panel to cover the step well when you’re working inside. Or make box steps with a bottom panel that allows you to put the box steps upside down on top of the campulance steps, and you could also use them outside when stopped as well as when camping.
I would contribute on Patreon to watch videos of Lefty staring at you as you direct him to do the tasks that will otherwise be delayed while you convalesce! 😁
Thanks Jim
Sorry to hear of your accident. Ribs are difficult to heal. What if you taped your ribs to keep them in place. Don't want to puncture a lung. Heal well. Lefty loves you so much. Thank you for the video. Blessings and prayers.
Hello friend, I know it’s not funny but I was at the same predicament injuring my rib and bruising my arm badly. I was not wearing flip flops but I was barefooted. NOT GOOD! I was out of commission for almost a month and hired a handyman to complete my project. Take car & always be safe. Retired from Pahrump Nevada
Flip flop life! I'm a lot safer with them now :)
Wow dude, feel better soon and remember these are called accidents because that is exactly what they are. Take care!
Oh no, you really could have broken something falling like that! Glad you didn't but looks like it hurt bad. Sorry for you! Heal up and don't do that again! Lefty will be your caretaker and lick you all better! Animals do know when we are feeling bad. Good boy Lefty. Take care David. This was many months ago tho so you are all better by now.
Ouch!! Hope you heal up ok. So rough and only time and stillness will help.
Cold packs!!!
Take care. I'm not sure if you have done a video about this subject but it would be good to do a video about how you should do insurance and how it works if you are not in your home state? What would it be like for you if you were all of the ways in California or far away from where your parents live? This is important to talk about so hopefully, new people to living on the road full time can learn before they get out on the road?
Oh wow you poor thing I feel for you. As we get older sometimes we don't bounce back as fast. Hopefully you didn't crack it all the way through and it will heal on its own. I remember once I I bent over to pick up a sock started to stand up the next thing I know I was flat on my back pain simple things sometimes will do you in along with the dumb ones. Are dogs definitely know when something's not right with us. Suffer from sleep apnea and I'll find my dog licking my face to wake me up
Thank you Tom
Listening to how you injured yourself and describing your injuries made me shiver and gave me goosebumps, reminds me of several similar mishaps I’ve had myself. So please, don’t be a hard headed old goat by trying to work on your rig in the next 3-4 days, instead, get plenty of rest. Listen to an audio book or binge Netflix or Amazon Prime or cooking shows. Haha.
I'm laying flat on my back which takes the pain away :) a few days of this should help :)
Go get an xray, please.
I take two ibuprofen liquid gels and two acetaminophen for the pain of my Lupus. The liquid gels ABSOLUTELY make a difference in effectiveness.
Echo the recommendation for an X-ray, especially if you have shortness of breath, prolonged sharp jabbing pain. Also great idea to carefully not exceed label maximum 24 hour dosages of both ACETAMINOPHEN & IBUPROFEN. My doctors have said they work on different pain receptors.
I’m so sorry this happened. A not so gentle reminder about safety. We all get lax. Don’t rush healing. Broken ribs need rest and please don’t over do. Wrap your ribs with an elastic wrap. This will remind you to not move quickly. Pulling on injured, knitting bone will cause more injury to the fragile healing area. Your schedule isn’t important (OCD campulance guy 😜). Go with the flow. I’ll be thinking about you.
I have to remember that... I don't HAVE to be anywhere so a few days of healing is ok!
Oh no! I’m not going to lecture you about proper foot wear or beat you up on safety… you seem to be doing that to yourself already. As meticulous and precise as you are after watching hours of videos you know this was an accident and they happen to the best of us. Reevaluate expectations and your “to do” list and allow yourself time to heal. Amazing how we don’t bounce so well anymore. Feel better and heal. Best wishes. Lefty is such a good friend. Lefty 💜
Thanks for going easy on me :)
Dang, Glad you're ok.. I wonder if getting in the swimming pool or lake would speedy healing the injury? I know the flip flops are dangerous, yet I am still wearing them. Thanks for reminder, use them with cautious. I know Lefty will take a good care of you.
Don't do the flip flops when working!! :)
Had injured ribs from a motorcycle accident. Was in bed many days healing. Eager to return to work before being fully healed, I was getting in my car in that twisted position when you sit in the seat then swing your legs in...I sneezed suddenly, unexpectedly at that moment. Yowza! I let out a painful holler...the ribs had reinjured badly. Had to honk and get help to get back out of the car. Back to bed for many more days. Employer not happy.
Suggestion: if you have to sneeze, bend your knees and support yourself with your hands on your thighs to get the weight off your torso, and don't be twisted. Brace yourself and let the sneeze pressure blow out through your mouth. g/l
I know what you mean - I'm strategically taking action to not cough, sneeze, belch, hiccup.... man they hurt!
Hope you get well soon.and we won't tell anyone about your drinking problem. Lol just kidding. Might want to see a chiropractor on the rib thing, been there done that. Not easy to breath with a rib laying on a lung! Get well soon.
That could be my excuse, right! Thanks Mark :)
Wrap your ribs and meds or you won't be doing the work bending and getting mechanical work done.... Ribs take a long time to fully heal and longer more you work them. Good luck and healing prayers and good vibes sent..
Thank you Dave
Good wishes. Love Lefty.
time........ heals all wounds...... about 6 weeks to partially recover from rib injury
Ouch! 🤕 Lucky being a good boy.
That's a big ouchie. Kind of ironic - you hurt yourself in an ambulance. Lefty will keep a close eye on you. As you start to heal/feel better, don't overdo it and cause a set-back. Wishing you a swift recovery.
I am lucky he's here with me! Thanks Ruth
@@TheCampulanceMan - for sure. It's amazing how much better a dog can make you feel even if there's nothing they can do other than keep you company.
I'm good at things like that. I wished I could take off like that & live in my Jeep.
Maybe you will someday. Never say never.
Feel better let lefty emotionally heal ya. Yep I’ve fallen in my flip flops no more for me while working.🐶💜
Ditto
Prayers and blessings for for a quick recovery. Take the pain medication 💊 be safe.. tough lesson to learn 🙏☮️😊
Thanks Kathleen
Done the flip flop drop too...heal quickly. Hugs for lefty for loving on you. Momma, feed your 👦's 🐕. 💕
Flip flops!!! Dummy I am...
OH MY GOSH !! I wouldn't dare scold you, I am so glad it wasn't worse ! Prayers for a steady recovery. Be sure to have a bite of food on your stomach with those meds, Ibuprofen is well known to cause ulceration type breakdown in the GI system. The only thing I could suggest for additional comfort would be possibly wearing large-width ace type binding around your torso to help splint the area. If you could have someone help you wrap this around you (or an abdominal binder) while you stand still in your most painless position, but not wrap it too tightly so as to restrict your breathing. You will know if this is helpful to you or not. I hope it is, and of course, don't stop moving completely so as to avoid getting more stiff. If you have any episodes of sudden onset shortness of breath, definitely get 911 help. Otherwise, and trying not to be funny but, avoid activities that could promote coughing or sneezing ! NO CHEETOES PLEASE, and, I HOPE YOU DITCHED THOSE FLIP FLOPS ! LUV YOU GUYS !
Thanks for going easy on me!! Laying with a pillow against my side feels good :)
Vodka! Ahahahaha take care buddy. Rest! For a few days anyway
Get Well Soon🙏💜💓
Did you mean you injured your ribs you title says rig. I hope you heal quickly.
You prob should have gone to the ER to get an Xray. You don't want a rib lung puncture.....
If things don't feel better in the morning I'm going to get x-rays. Thanks Dave
Don't they wrap your ribs when you break them? Hope you feel better soon. And I know the feeling of thank goodness at least my dog is here to help!
Dang it dude, I know how you feel, I get angry at myself for making a mistake and end up injuring something. When we were in our 20s after a couple of days we were good. That is no longer the case. Take it easy and try not to push too hard and stretch out this injury. Take care and pet Lefty for me.
Thanks Rich - I hear you we don't spring back like years ago. I'm feeling improved after a couple days of rest :)
I fell about a month ago and cracked a few ribs also. It took about three weeks before I was back to full function work. I am in the middle of several construction projects as well and had to slow my roll.
As I’m sure you’ve heard, “don’t wrap your ribs” because it causes pneumonia. There is a safe way to do it with athletic tape(purchased at any pharmacy), but you have to know how to do it. And shave any hairy bits first 😁
I’ll look around and see if I can find a good tutorial on “how to.” The gist is to put a line down your spine and one down your sternum. Stretch two or three lengths of tape down and around your side supporting the injured ribs, securing the other end on the piece at your sternum. Best if you have a therapist or athletic trainer there who can help to be sure you have the correct pressure. Not much. Just a very little tug for support.
Okay. There is one on the Cure Tape channel that looks good. A little different than what I explained. It uses Kinesiotape which is good stuff. Just don’t do the circumferential taping or wrapping. That doesn’t allow your rib cage to expand and causes pneumonia.
Thank you I'm reading about it now :)
Bummer. Complacency is like a snake. Get to close to it and it bites you. Hope you heal quickly. 🙏
Thanks Richard
I hate that I can't see the date of when you published your videos. I was wondering when this happened? And curious how long it too to heal (I mean REALLY heal). I will continue to binge watch to see if you mention it later. But still like to do my own research. How come some channel have the dates and some don't? I guess you have it turned off?!
Oh my goodness gracious I am so glad you have Lefty to see you through another life challenge. Slow and steady will get you there and this incident was just a gentle but painful reminder that life can turn on a dime...
Thanks Cherel. Lefty does make me feel better when he stays by my side.
Lefty is my favorite UA-cam dog... Sandles and Crocs are easy but dangerous, the slightest bit of moisture on a painted surface and down goes Forman. Take it easy and let pain be your guide. "Advil Dual Action" is a Combination of Ibuprofen (inflammation) and Acetaminophen (pain). Don't combine Alcohol and Acetaminophen it's bad for your liver. More Lefty videos as a filler till you heal.
The sandles were a real mistake!
@@TheCampulanceMan my mother had construction flip flops... freaks me out. Somehow she still has all her toes... somehow! Feel better, pet the dog and chill... get better soon bro!
Please just rest and lay down as much as you can thruout the day. You'll get things done in time, doesnt pay to push it. I can empathize, just in May I went thru something similar. There are intracostal muscles surrounding the rib cage that can take up to 6-8 weeks to heal completely (like a rib bone) depending on the severity of injury. First time in years I took something for pain, it was that bad. Yeah coughing hurt, little less when lying on my back flat. Just yesterday the pain flared up again i might have a spinal compression fracture? So if it isnt easing up (mine took 2 weeks) might ask to do an xray?? Also I could bend over fine but to straighten back up to standing, well lets say I grunted a lot LOL. My dogs sensed it too, like Lefty. So sorry this happened to you, hope you feel better soon.
Ouch! Been there a few times with rib injuries, they take their sweet time to heal as I'm sure you know. Sorry that happened David. But you have Dr Lefty by your side for empathy, he's such a sweet boy! Take it easy on mixing ibuprofen and acetaminophen, it doesn't take much to do real damage to your kidneys.
Wishing you a quick recovery
Thank you!
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is processed by the liver; ibuprofen is processed by rhe kidneys. So you can actually alternate them in order to spread out the impact on either organ and still keep pain levels under control. Just keep track of the permissible intervals. When I had a hip replacement, rather than narcotic drugs Tramadol or Oxycodone, after the first few days the surgeon had me use that alternating protocol with ace & ibu. Ace has a 4-hour interval & ibu has a 6-hour window. So I took the first dose together - then in 4 hrs, 2nd dose of ace - in 2 more hours 2nd dose of Ibu - in 2 more hours, 3rd dose of ace - in 4 more hours, 4th dose of ace + 3rd dose of ibu together. It was very effective for me. I made a time chart so I wouldn't get confused on what to take when.
@@freedomartwork6950 I was happy with the effect they have when taken together - it is definitely more effective than each alone :)
@@freedomartwork6950 Excellent info there. Thanks for posting :)
And of course, ICE ICE BABY! Applying ice packs as often as possible to keep swelling down and soothe the pain!
Hope you mend well.🙏 I follow Going Off Grid with Doug and Stacey and he broke a few ribs was black and blue also left side. It took him about 5-6 weeks to mend.
Sorry to hear about your accident Dave. Take it easy and be careful. Good boy, Lucky, take care of Dad.
Thanks Dennis- he's by my side all day :)
A little warning - Wait till you have to wipe yourself after going to the bathroom if you have cracked ribs. Been through it.
I was there this morning. Mom called up to ask if I was ok!!!
Don't be so hard on yourself, that's why there called accidents.I hope you can get rest to heal. Lefty will be right by your side through this.Rent some good movies but not comedy's.😃.Sorry this happen to you.
And no cheez doodles!
Sorry about the injuries….I watched the video while eating Cheetos! (sorry)
Hope you are better really soon…..maybe you should have had your ribs strapped for a few days.
Be well and best of luck!
I'm banning Cheez doodles from my menu!
Can’t really click like on this. Hope your feeling better soon.
While you were talking about what you were doing that led to the fall I was thinking about the work I was doing today on my cargo trailer. Stuff is scattered all over the floor, and I need to clean it up before I have an accident too. Such is the life of someone who is handy. Stay away from the Cheez Doodles!
I was a safery rep at work and always preached 'clean workspace is a safe workspace' - I believe it now!!
Geezz that’s horrible. It’s going to suck for awhile so hang in there. At least your at home base and where your at is nice this time of year. I go back to western NY on Lake Erie for summer/fall. I live in Cave Creek Arizona now. By the way it is a little gem and you may find a couple of days of good content there. Cave Creek/Carefree Arizona.
I never felt right wearing flip flops. Even at home or on the beach. Very uncomfortable to me. I worked construction my whole life and some people on the job wear things that just don’t make sense. Eventually it catches up with them. Especially foot wear, gloves and jewelry. I broke my ribs once and it may be uncomfortable doing anything. It may even be scary as if you’re not getting better or are permanent. Unfortunately it’s like a hangover. Time is the fix. Also you have hit a time when your life needs a little tweaking. You are in good shape but you are older and not as flexible. Hang in there and enjoy some NY food.
Thanks for the tip on cave creek :)
How are you going to heal and repair your ride to 3 weeks, that's a lot to ask for. Protect those ribs or your going to be down a lot longer than 3 weeks. Take care and give lefty some extra treats, he's one hell of a mental doctor.
I'm laying flat and healing well so far :) Let's hope I can get back on the move!
It’s happened to all of us. 😏
Sorry to hear your hurt rest a couple of days and start slow and of course LEFTY can always help you
Don't be hard on yourself. Good shoes, and maybe wrap your ribs a bit.
You'll be ok..
Thanks Gary - I'm just feeling at fault...
Oww! So frustrating when I am the cause of my own injury. Sounds like you're doing all the right things for healing. Take care!
Thank you!
Ouch thats the worse pain. Not much you can do but ride it out. If nobody told you, A big concern with rib injuries is pneumonia because its hard to deep breath, cough ect… so fluid builds up in lungs since you’re not actively removing it. So from a nurse… go to a CVS or Walgreens and pick up a abdominal binder. Looks like a girdle and makes it easier moving and coughing ect… hold pressure on them ribs while exerting the lungs! Mannn hope you feel better asap ❤️
Sorry about your luck with the injury but it happens to all of us…..I’m in my 50’s now and not as nimble as I think I am but being from Florida, if I’m home I’m working around the house barefooted and flip flops are for leaving, lol……
What is your email for questions? I have a few that I want to know as I’m hoping to get an ambulance soon…….thanks for the videos, try and stay safe lol, Don
Thanks for your comment. My email is thecampulanceman@gmail.com
Rib injuries suck, David!!! Highest thoughts & sincerest prayers for a speedy recovery. No: heavy breathing, no Cheetos, no grapefruit juice- no spicy food- til you are take a full breathe, OK? Ohh man- I'm feeling for you. Gosh, I wish I could do more for you. Can you grab a wrap for your rib cage? It reduces the full motion that causes the harshest pain along with Ibuprophen is all you can do.
Thank you David - I'm making myself lay here stationary and it feels better with a pillow up against my left side :)
Wear a hard hat and steel-toed work boots, from now on.
Although a great story for advice do not wear flip-flops. Sorry that you had to become the example. Great advice to share I’ll remember that. Because even I have wore flip-flops working around my van
No flip flops! Just not worth the risk...
Gentle healing prayer sent to the Lord for you.
Sounds like you injured the intercostal muscles. I fell hard on my kitchen floor several months ago,and I know that “pop” you are talking about. It will take a lot of time for that to heal! I’m a nurse and I worked while I was healing. Not fun!!!!
Thank you for that info. I'm reading about it now.
There you go , only a nurse would know to say this. Could be the muscles and rib injury, theres going to be a great deal of inflammation even the meds wont get completely down, for awhile anyway. Wrapping the chest isnt always the best thing if it interferes with the breathing, with inflammation. Hope you are all healed!
They ... Dogs know when you in pain .... Mine knows when I am ... t
