Broken rib update;=)

Good morning and THANKS for all of your getting better comments;=) That make my healing go so much easier, seeing all of you caring for me. Lots of love to you all for that!

Well, I still have lots of pain but as long as I lie down as still as I can and take pain killers all is ok. Cant take deap breaths, laugh or cough. I cant turn around and will probably not be able to lie on the left side for many weeks. But taking it easy and not moving is the best at the moment.

And yeah, I have to stay at home and not go to Finland tomorrow, but I will go as soon as I can. I hope for wednesday but I will have to see if I can sit for a long time, sing etc. But we have booked the studio for 3,5 week so I have time and Tuomas and Marco will do some vocals and Tuomas some keyboards so time still is used to do the album ready.

The most annoying thing now is that the sun is shining outside, clear blue sky and I feel restless already. My workouts and exercising results the past 7 weeks will just be in vain cause now the muscles I got fade away again. And I just get so frustrated lying here, not being able to do anything.

Luckily, Johan is at home helping me and mum was here yesterday helping me. So Nemo has lots of attention still;=)

  2. Hej Anette!

    There is indeed a kind of bad star over us, it seems. On tuesday a preserving jar fell from my kitchen cupboard straight onto my naked right toe. Luckily it wasn't broken. But on wednesday evening my younger brother had a terrible accident in which he has lost his right hand (but he could have died, too).
    I wish you all the best for your recovery, but please think about the fact that your ribs will heal... there is always worse =/ I'm gonna visit my brother today at the hospital...

  3. Anette! How weird that we're up at the same time considering I'm in America. I'm so sorry about your injure, broken ribs are the worst because it hurts just to breathe, and how can you not breathe? It's really terrible, but I'm glad Nemo is okay! Definitely no singing for a while :\

  4. Things happen, I wouldn't stress too much about getting to the studio next week. These things can always be re-arranged. Especially when have a nice amount of time before album is going to be released.
    Are you still breast feeding Anette? Or is Nemo fully weaned now. That's going to be tricky if you are.

    Well you rest up, we are all thinking of you

  5. Oh, dear you. Not being able to move around, go out for a walk and everything. But I'm sure this "event" will turn out to be something useful - you know what they say: all the worst to the best. Be optimistic! That'll help a lot and will fasten your healing!

  6. Hello dear Nettie, I hope that everything is ok. How are you today? I hope you feel better.
    Of course it's beter to stay at home. Health is more important. Luckily the boys are with you to help you :)
    You can read an interesting book or some magazines or watch a movie so you won't be bored.
    Btw. I know you like cats...Look at this picture! Isn't she sweet?

  10. I can imagine that's frustrating, I remember I missed just a few days of training recently due to hurting my hand a bit and it made me frustrated already. And of course it sucks that you're still in pain, but I'm glad to hear resting and taking painkillers makes it a little better. I really hope it all heals soon!

    Now, not wanna be nosy or anything, so if you tell me you can't say anything about it it's okay, but I just have to ask... You mentioned Tuomas will be doing vocals, which is a bit surprising. Will they be used on the final album? And is it just background vocals or something bigger? Because I really like his voice, but I thought he said he wouldn't be singing for an album or on concerts again because he's not comfortable doing it (which is of course a good reason). So, has he changed his mind?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hello Anette,
    hoping you are still painfree as you read this, I guess the worst bit from the pain is the frustration of not being able to do anything. I can't imagine how hard it would be to just have to sit still, especially when the weather is getting better and you have exciting projects to work on.
    Again, wishing you a speedy recovery!

  16. Hi!
    It's nice to see you are ok, I was worried, but now I am more quiet.
    The album will be released only in 2012 so, we can wait for one week more, no?
    Sincere well-wishes for you, Anette.

  19. I'm so sorry Anette...
    I somewhat understand your frustration when I had surgery. I couldn't take the stairs or lift anything, sneeze or cough. And especially work out. But getting better is the most important thing...One day at a time...
    You'll make it and be back to yourself soon. The best thing is to have positive energy so you will heal faster.

    Take care!!!

  24. Hello Anette :)
    Take your time to recover. *sends some more virtual hugs* Must be an awful feeling not be able to turn around or to laugh. Don't feel too frustrated about the fact that you can barely move at the moment, soon you will be able to move normal again.

    Greetings and lots of hugs again

    Cheers from Venezuela ^^

  31. Hi Anette,

    It's terrible that this should happen but the main thing is that both you and Nemo are OK. You must rest and take care of yourself, and like you said, Tuomas and Marco can get on with the recording until you feel better.

    I really feel for you. It must be extremely painful to sing with a broken rib.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery.

    Healing hugs to you,

  32. Hi lovely Heart,
    don't worry about your trip to Finland. Your health is the most important.

    It's just some bad luck time, sadly. But take care of yourself, don't worry bout anything and rest, that's the best way to heal: taking it easy =)

  35. Oh my, feel pain even just breathing. x_x
    I'm thinking here: are your lungs okay? Sometimes when you break a rib it can hurts the organs inside, but maybe you had already taken a check about this.
    Johan seems to be a nice and lovely guy! *-*
    Get better!

  38. Oh, I forgot to write in the first comment. I was doing nothing and decided to search for some 'rare' live songs, that were recorded only by fans. I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7bNtjI8-iI

    What an amazing voice! And the video quality is good, remembering it's a fan-made record.
    Again, hope you'll be better soon.

  39. Ooooh dear God! I just see about the accident! :( I'm so sorry for you. But, don't worry the worst time past. Soon you will be ok. :/
    It's good that at least Nemo is well. You reacted very good because Nemo could get hurt even worse cause he is still little and he can't defend himself yet. Don't worry everything will be fine while you have your boys and Johan to take care of you! And of course a lot of support from me and all your fans (circa 5 million) :D... maybe more ;)
    Don't worry be happy ;)
    I have one song for, you know it (I think): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT9GFoRbnfc

  41. Hey Anette,
    Hang in there, I know how annoying it is to sit around injured when you want to get outside and run!
    Don't think that your 7 weeks has gone to waste, it hasn't. You are fit, the work you put in will allow your body to heal quicker. When you are ready to go again, your entire body will be rested, not just your rib area, and you'll be able to ramp back up to your routine.

    Here's to a quick recovery!

  42. Hi Anette,

    That is a terrible thing when stuff like that happens, so sorry to hear that you had a small slip on the floor and with little Nemo in your arms too and that you cracked your ribs. Please take the time to recover with lots of rest and of course those painkillers will come in handy. Always think positive and meditate because it is good for your spirit and the healing process of your body. You have people around you that really care and will take care of you.

  43. I think Nathan is right: as far as I know, if you were fit before it's easier to get back in shape after pausing than if you start at practically zero. Your muscles "remember" their former strength and it takes less time to rebuild. And also being physically fit can help your body overcome illnesses or injuries easier.

  44. man that sucks :( sorry to hear! get well soon Nettie!!! and when you feel better go to finland and rock the sh.. out of those tunes :) sorry for the swearing but I know you will rock! :)

  46. How do you cope without laughing or moving?! I would go crazy if I were you. I laugh so much each day since I'm so easy to get laughing at everything :D

    Don't worry about the recordings, the main thing number one is that you will get better.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh dear! So sorry you got hurt, I hope you'll get well soon! Good to hear though that Nemo is Ok. You getting better is the most important thing now, the band can wait.

  48. Hi Anette,
    I left a message for you to wish you well yesterday, but it must not have gone through. I hope you are feeling better today and getting lots of help from those around you. My hubby said to be very careful picking up baby or heavy things and to take the pain meds so that you can breathe and move around without much pain. Also to take advantage of the rest as needed because it can take a month or so to heal depending on the break. Did you just fracture them or was it a complete break? He was asking, being nosey and all. I told him about it and he was concerned about your temp? Did you have x-ray and confirm no fragments near your lungs? Trust me he knows what he's talking about. LOL I cut my finger and I hear all about the horrors of what he sees in the ER and possible complications. He's just being cautious and with a baby the impulse to pick him up and move on with regular duties of mum you can re-injury yourself. Being well for you and family is what is most important.

    Thank goodness Nemo wasn't hurt to badly and protected him as best as you could. I did the same thing getting my son out of his infant seat during winter time a few years ago. I slipped on ice and went under my car with my son in my arms. Anthony went flying into the snow bank and despite trying my hardest I couldn't keep in from harm. No bumps or bruises for him just a good scare and lots of crying. Thank goodness for the kind people at the mall who called the police and took care of him for me while we waited for the ambulance. I thought I had broken my femur and couldn’t move. I was lucky to be taken to the same hosp where Andrew worked and was so happy to see him there. I hear about so many people who have no one to help them and leave the hosp alone because no one is there to pick them up at the worse times. Thank heavens for all our loved ones who are here to help us in our time of need. Never take them for granted. In the end all was well, just a huge bruise on my thigh and lots of pain for a week or so. But nothing like broken ribs. It is very painful!

    Best wishes for you and please take care of yourself. There are lots of tomorrows to catch up on things.

    Lots of hugs!
    Mia

    I didn't get to comment on your first post about this, and I sort of feel guilty.. so I'll just say here that I really hope that you get better soon! ribs are horrible bones to break.. well all bones are, but ribs are just terrible. So hope the pain doesn't hurt too much and you heal fast!

    And also glad to hear that Nemo wasn't hurt :)

  55. Good evening Anette,

    Wow…once again, I’m really so sorry about what happened. I am sure it is very painful and as you said, quite frustrating. But, on the bright side, it would seem that you are able to give yourself the rest and attention that you need, so I am sure you will be able to recover swiftly :). A little positive energy goes a long way. Still, in the meantime, I pray you are able to be as comfortable as possible, and that you have lots of nice books to read :). It’s a shame that you won’t be able to do the recording as planned, but accidents happen and that is no one’s fault, and it’s far more important that you rest and get well :). I am sure time will be found later for the recordings.

    I send all of my good thoughts and warm wishes to you,

    Alexandria

  56. Dear Anette! I am a Brazilian guy and I gave you a teddy bear in Belo Horizonte and another one in Rio de Janeiro in 2008. At that time I made a promise to you and I have kept it. The promise was that I was going to pray for you and your kids. I am sorry about the accident! I do care about you and I am sure you are going to recover soon! Jesus Christ loves you!
    Take care!
    PS: Don't take too many pain killers. It is important to protect your stomach.

    I'm so sorry! Thank God little Nemo is fine. I can imagine how you feel. Some years ago my father felt and broke 4 ribs and he could sleep only at a POÄNG ikea chair for a month. It was horrible.
    Have a quick recovery and take care.

  62. I hope you get better soon! Being in a bed for a long time really sucks. I passed a time in the hospital some years ago, more or less 10 days, and I know how it's horrible. But you do need rest and worry only about your ribs =) take it very easy and you'll get better in no time!

    C ya!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Don't worry about exercise, you'll got many time to continue them when your ribs are health.

    I'm going to give you and idea: Try go to your garden/porch or the door of your house with a wheelchair so you can enjoy the sun. Have sunbaths is pretty good for the bones, did you know it? So it will be good to let the sun touch your body.
    If you try it let us know =)

    But remember, don't do efforts!

    Best wishes

  65. I'm glad to hear that you're on the mend--and have some good drugs to alleviate the pain! It's great that Nemo is all right. So many accidents happen in the home; I write from experience. :-S (Which is why we bought a Tundra fire extinguisher.) It's encouraging that family and friends are taking care of you; I join everyone here in sending positive thoughts your way!
