That was a fun trip to the hospital. At least it was quick.
10 years ago
I've been having pain in my side for a few days now, and I didn't think it was a big deal. I just figured it was a pulled muscle from moving some furniture the other day. Well, today the pain got so unbearable that I had to go to Urgent Care at the hospital. So I called my dad (while I was in tears >.<), and he came rushing over to my house to pick me up, and then he took me to the hospital. We went through all the check in, and I got a few x-rays, and finally the doctor came back in with the verdict.
I wound up breaking my 9th rib. I still don't know how I did that, but the doc and I think it was from me coughing so much (I have a chronic cough caused by acid reflux). So now I'm forced to take it easy. I can't lift over 30 lbs, I can't reach over my head, and I can't reach below my belt. And it'll take at least 6-8 weeks for my ribs to heal. Which means that I'm out of commission for two months. Good thing I'm currently unemployed. xD
So yeah, I'm a sore wolfy atm, but I'm doing well. I had a shot at the hospital that's working wonders right now, and I got a prescription for pain killers, so I might just be able to survive this. The doc did give me fair warning though: He said that the first two weeks of recovery are excruciatingly painful. Yay me, huh? xD
If you could feel the pain I was tolerating, then you wouldn't be saying I was weak. Lol
"How did you break your rib?"
"I coughed"
"And?...."
"That's it. I coughed. I broke my rib. End of story."
XDDD
No broken bones there either. xD
I used to work on bikes, so I used to trip on bike parts all the time. xD
I hope you have a quick and easy recovery!
;w;
And yes, I hope so too. Doc says about two months, and as long as I'm careful, I won't need any surgery or any extra therapy. So I'm just taking it easy and doing some light projects.
AND IN MY DEFENSE FOR WHAT I DID TODAY: I can't do sewing projects without my studio, so I needed to finish setting up my studio so I can take it easy and do simple sewing projects. lol
