Well I have a Vets appointment for this Monday ay 8:15 am.

The big knot on my belly is getting bigger it seems.
I'm having a little pain in my Gall Bladder area.

If I pick something up like a 1 x 6 x 10 Pine I'm fine.
If I try to pick up a 4x4x10 Pine I feel like my guts are coming out.
I can go to Walmart and I don't think anything is wrong with me.

I think something tore.
I'll update after I know something.
Y'all say a teeny tiny prayer for me that they DON'T have to open 1 of my stomachs up.




The older I get I wish my body could Re-Gen.

Ugg - I hope it goes well my friend. Keep us posted.  Of course your mention of going to Walmart and thinking nothing is wrong with you is not really a fair comparison.  I ALWAYS feel quite normal after a trip to our local Walmart.   :D

Sounds like a rupture caused by the impact.  You get better quick. You owe me a pole dance. (Private joke)  :)

I go along with the three things that Magicman said. And if that Jeff guy is right you better get a good vet and have them open you up and fix the problem.

For some reason, I am just now seeing this thread.  Going to the Vet is the smart thing to do.

My appointment was for 8:15 but they didn't open until 12 because of ice on the roads,
Had an MRI done and I have a bruised Aorta and Liver.
Goong back for blood work for my liver next Week. 
The doc squeezed my knot on my belly and I almost passed out. Told me to keep an eye on it and if it didn't start getting smaller he would send me to a Surgeon.
Told me not to pick up anything heavier than a fork!
So that's it for now.
Thanks y'all

Glad you reported back in. I thought they may have sent you off to the BBQ pit. Sounds like this could be pretty serious. I hope it will sort itself out without surgery. I don't know how many times I've picked up a stick to stop the idle side wheel the as you did. I do beleive I'll be changing my ways in the future.

Ugg - that sounds like it was way too close for comfort.  Kirk got a spare vest you can wear around the house and mill?

 Serious injury , glad it wasn't worse. Yield not to temptation , follow the docs instruction. Customer of mine had rotator cuff surgery on right shoulder , didn't listen to doc , kept working with it only days after. No problem. A few months later he had left shoulder repaired , did the same. Major mistake , now he has serious problem and is really out of commission. Use the little fork!
 Speedy recovery!

Yikes!
The aorta is a useful thing. About the size of a garden hose and not an optional assesory. And the liver is kinda useful too.
That Dang sticker came close to doing you a severe insult!
Good advice for you from all of the wise men that have posted.
I'm with Ellmoe,  limit yourself to the fondue fork for a good period of time.
Best wishes, and get well soon from Way Up Yonder.

Sheesh, Goat! An aorta is kind of a big deal, not to mention a liver. Take care of yourself or the next Pig Roast may end up being a Goat Roast!

:D :D :D Note to Jeff, "Please Don't Change Next Years Menu", I will not be at the next pig roast if there is a goat in that hog cooker! ;D ;D ;D

Well, I hope you get to feeling a little better.

Glad to hear you finally got checked out!

I'm wondering though, you can't pick up anything heavier than a fork, so does that mean you can't pick up a fork with food on it?    :o  ::)  ;D

Take the time to get better.  They call it a liver for a reason and I don't know why they call it an aorta but as Andries said, its not optional.  A lot of near death or painful life experiences eventually become funny stories - I look forward to hearing this one in detail.

By the way, I eat my grits with a fork.  Who wants runny grits?

I just figured it was a northern thing, a gritshake.
Hope you're on the mend, that was too close for comfort :o
