posted: Di, I am rushing you a red-headed stud muffin to take care of you. Let him do all the work–ALL THE WORK–and you just breathe….gently.

In that case… Uhhhh, I haven’t been feeling too well either, lately. I could use a studmuffin, but he doesn’t have to have red hair. Just kidding…. But if you are sending studmuffins, especially those that do work…. Rose

Response:

Honey, get yourself some 4" wide ace bandages and get your sister to wrap you up. Not so tight you can’t breathe, but tight enough to support you and take the stress off the rib muscles. Ya can’t heal if ya keep using that area. Your going to have to take it even easier. P. S. I got your hysterically funny card yesterday. I think both our fairies are out in the smoking section.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – While I was just waking up this morning, still not really conscious, I stretched.  I felt a *pop* at my broken rib site, and the pain was excrutiating.  Oh cripes!!!!  I didn’t even DO ANYTHING!  I didn’t pick up laundry, or lift anything else heavy.  I was a good girl. I called my sister, who convinced me to call my doc.  So, I did.  My doc thinks that it’s very possible that I did snap some newly forming scar tissue.  I asked her if she felt that I should go to the emergency room again.  She didn’t think so.  She said all they could do was take more xrays, which would take about 5 hours, then just send me home with the same instructions as last time. Basically, there is nothing to be done, except painkillers, heat/ice, rest with a pillow against my side to splint it, and just wait it out. It could take upwards of 6-8 weeks.  Same ol’ same ol’. So now, I’m back to Square 1.  This is very depressing. — Di take out the trash to email me "There is more in the human being to celebrate than to denigrate."
