Breaking Bones, As A New Hobby
May. 4th, 2025 09:22 pmI managed Shopping Day #1 and #2 alright, but I was VERY glad at the end of Day #1 that we had split it up into two days because I still just don't have any energy. By the time we finished Walmart I was ready to pass out. -__-;; At least all the harder stuff was on Day #1 and that made Day #2 comparatively easier.
I've been doing better every day, incrementally, my cough has been slowly getting better and my chest less rattly. I still have no energy, as stated above, and my ribs are still broken but were on the mend... until.
The day before yesterday I had a REALLY had coughing day, but it wasn't a big deal because my ribs were healed to the point that I wasn't in absolute AGONY every time I coughed. I didn't think anything of it. But then YESTERDAY, I woke up and about an hour later I coughed ONE LITTLE COUGH and another one of my ribs cracked just like that. I actually screamed, but Mom was out and Lee is mostly deaf and watches TV with the volume cranked so he didn't hear me.
Anyway, now I'm right back to the way I was before, it set me back two weeks of healing, and also? Today I can't seem to stop sneezing so FUCK YOU BODY.
I mentioned having broken another rib on FB and Sethi asked me if I had osteoperosis, and I was like "not that I know of??" but my ribs should NOT be breaking so easily, and considering all the medications I'm on it's entirely possible. I'm going to ask Dr. K about it at my next appointment and see what she thinks. Mom says it means a bone scan, and if it turns out I have bone density problems, more medications. Yay.
For now, I'm just coping with the pain and thanking God for the Doctor at the hospital who prescribed me the Naproxen.
