  I always thought that readying maneuvers worked like prepping spells, you could ready the same maneuver ten times if you were really in love with it. Upon looking around in the TOB for confirmation, though, I can't find any good definitive evidence either way. So, though I'd appreciate it if you found something concrete, I'll just believe you for now anyway, and either delete that maneuver or ready Stone Bones instead, whichever you wish.

   When you initiate a manuever, it is expended-  you cannot use it again until you recover it. . 
  
  I hope that is enough, and yes, just add another manuever

  Actually since my readied action went off before the end of your turn, it places me just ahead of you in the initiative count, but that readied action was the only action I got in round 5.  Thus I act just before you in Round 6.  But anyway, it makes little difference
