Still a wuss, but feeling better. FINALLY!
Yesterday was much better. I think I've finally figured out my meds. Unfortunately, the dose I have to take for maximum effectiveness means that I probably shouldn't drive after I take them. I'll have to finagle something for Saturday and Sunday, because I need to work this weekend. But I'm not too worried about it. Maybe I just won't take anything until I get up there ... Anyway, I've got a couple of days to figure it out.
Since I wasn't able to get in to see the doctor, I asked the nurse and she called me back. She said the doc said that I probably just reinjured the rib, perhaps even made it worse, by the same mysterious method that I injured it in the first place, (repetitive motion?). And thus will probably just have to be more careful, and live with it until it starts to heal again. Which, I'm hoping by the reduced pain this morning, has already begun. I slept better last night than I have any time this week.
It's been a beautiful every day this week. When the summery weather starts, I get a wicked craving for Mexican food. With either margaritas or beer. I haven't had either because I am a good girl and don't drink with my painkillers. But I hope the nice weather lasts through the weekend. If I can get off the dope by then, (or early next week), I'll have a margarita to celebrate.
