On Bike Ride Daddy Goes SPLAT! Nurses Nikita, and Elvira, are on the Case!

If you think HE looks bad, you should see his poor bicycle! ;-D

Cycling Dude Goes SPLAT! Bike Clings to Life in Intensive Care! (All the gory details, and pictures!)

Anyway, when he walked in the door, at 130am, we were waiting for him.

Elvira took one look at him, and said...

"Hey, Nikita, Daddy don't look so well, do he?

Haven't I been saying this girl was a smart Kitty? ;-D

I immediately went to work!

I helped Daddy focus on the important things...Feeding us, then getting into the shower, and then feeding himself.

I told Elvira to keep an eye on him to make sure he stayed extra long in the shower, and she did a good job on this assignment, watching from her spot on the lid of his Litter Bowl. ;-D

After he checked his e-mail we tucked him into bed.

We learned, later this morning, that there was a Special Package for us from Elvira's new Godmothers, KC, & Momma ML, but that could wait until Daddy returned from a visit to the bike shop, and after we gave him some hugs, and purrs upon his return.

 

 

Elvira is developing a promising Daddyside Manner. ;-D

***UPDATE - 7PM Sunday***

Thank you, everyone, from all of us, for the Purrs, and Purrayers!

Due to advice given him by friends, and readers, including a fellow bike rider, he decided to sally forth to the ER, and this is his report:

 

I got there at 1pm, was out by 315 or so.

 

They took xrays of my shoulder, and the area above my heart, near the shoulder.

 

I also was given an EKG.

 

The verdict?

 

No broken bones.

 

Just Muscle Sprain up the wazzoo. ;-D

 

The fact that I could raise my arm straight up, despite the pain, was a positive sign of recovery beginning to them.

 

The sore butt cheek was more muscle soreness.

 

I would not have been walking if there had been a broken hip or other damage.

 

They told me to take some Advil, Tylenol, or Motrin, for the pain if I feel the need, and gave me some fliers about Home Care of the Sprain, and the Elbow Abrasion.

 

I showed them pictures on my Camera of my "In Home Nursing Staff", and a report of their treatment, and they praised them for their good work, and encouraged them to keep it up. ;-D

 

Wow! Praised by the Purrfessionals!

 

How cool is that? ;-D

Looks like Dad Kiril is in good hands, um, paws.

Nurses Nikita and Elvira will take good care of him.

Love & Purrs from all of The Sherwood Kitties

[Sparkle]

Uh-oh, it looks like the bike got the worst of it.

Maybe you and Elvira should be nursing it instead of your human, Nikita!

MOL, okay, I am also sending your human healing purrs.

I hope his injuries prove to be way less severe than the bike's!

[Sniffie and the Florida Furkids]

We know your Daddy will get better fast with the two of you taking care of him.

On the other paw, that bike doesn't look too good.

Oh I think you kitties are doing a bang up job (ha ha ha get it, bang up?!) in getting your humans banged up parts feeling better!

[Derby and Ducky]

Humans going splat is not a good thing.

Get wells purrs coming at ya.

[Zippy, Sadie and Speedy]

Get that x-ray!

Better safe than sorry.

We'z sure dat Nakita and Elvira are doing der best to take care of yoo but even wif da cat scans, and fur and purr therapy, a fracture would not be fixed.

[Sweet Praline]

Looks like your dad is doing okay, but can't say the same thing about the bike.

[Life From A Cat's Perspective]

Oh my goodness!!!

We hope Daddy gets his x-ray to make sure all is good!!

Purrrs, grrrs and prayers from all of us!!

((((((HUGS)))))))) from your TX furiends,

[Fuzzy Tales]

We're glad your dad is mostly okay, but, boy, the bike looks pretty bad!

Lots of healing purrs and Light from us!

[Judi]

Maybe Dad needs to stick to taking you guys out in your stroller which, by the way, I am now looking at for my two kitties!

You inspired us.

Feel better soon.

[jansfunnyfarm]

Hey, we heard your dad had to go to the ER.

We hope he is okay!

Purrs and tail wags.

[ML]

Glad to know you checked out okay, that always helps.

Get some rest, I know you will with your excellent in-home health care staff.

[Hannah and Lucy]

Glad the report from the hospital showed no broken bones - is Nikita being Matron and Elvira Nursing Sister?

Hope you don't get used as a guinea pig for their bandaging practice.

Seriously we are pleased that you weren't more seriously injured when you came off your bike.

Luv Hannah, Lucy and mum Sue xx xx xx
