one more night

As I was telling Sean over at "Doc in the Box," I think I screwed up this weekend.

For the past few months I've had this soreness in my ribs. I thought it would just go away on its own, like maybe I pulled something and it just needed to heal on its own. But last week it really started to hurt. It hurts when I raise my left arm, or when I lay on my left side. It hurts when I lay on my back.

Yesterday my dad and I went to Santa Barbara to meet Amy Acker (from Angel: The Series) and get her autograph along with other people from the show. My dad bought the tickets two weeks ago, so I didn't want to back out. We were in line for almost two hours, and before I could catch myself, I stretched both arms over my head. When I did that, I felt this awful popping sound. And then there was the burning. It was like somehow, I was being scalded from the inside. As if that didn't suck enough, I got a fever too.

Last night was tough and I barely slept. Tonight will probably be the same cuz I can only lay in one position and it hurts when I breathe. Have learned *not* to take deep breaths cuz it jst hurts too much. It's midnite now. I just have to make it til the morning and then I can call for an appoinment. (if they make me one.) G'night all. ~Tragic.

Awwwww...Poor Thing. If I was there I know what I would do. Let me tell you. Do all your chores and housework and draw you out a nice warm bath(if it doesn't hurt) and let you soak for as long as you like. Hows that sound?

Hope you get the time to feel better!!!
Soft Kisses 'pon hurt ribs

Hey Marc, thanks for your nice thoughts. I feel so tired right now. THe soonest appointment that could be made for me is at 9am. I called at 10am this morning-- I remember feeling disappointed that I'd have to wait 23 more hours. Right now I'm watching "The 13th Warrior," trying to relax.

Every time I breath, I get this feeling- like I've been impaled through my left side.

Thanks for the kisses, they make me feel less miserable!

spank you with a wet noodle! Hopefully you don't have an infection that you broke open, eep! I'm wondering what this is? Hope you get better soon!

Hope your feelig better today... :) My only thoughts ride with Seans. Infection, maybe. Could be a pulled, torn, or strained muscle from working out, or a wild night of sex or something. hmmmmmmm. Also could be a bruised rib from blunt impact. Hope all goes well at the doctors....

Take Care,
Marc

Argh! Just got back from two and a half hours at the doctor's office. I've gotta get off the computer before my mom comes over for lunch. Neither parent knows that I've got a blog or that I even had an appointment today.

Will post later today.

Naughty naughty Marc! I just said I've been a single girl since February! Who would I have had this wild sex with? ; ) I'm a good girl!

Sean: Why a wet noodle and not your hand?
