Pegging away
Well... yesterday was trying to get at something on a low shelf when I felt a sharp pain in my ribs, followed by several hours of smaller, sharp pains in my ribs. DAMMIT. Iced the area immediately, then put heat on it a few times yesterday and will do so again today. I mean, HONESTLY. Hopefully I just angered the still-swollen muscles; I can still feel a big lump where the intercostals were (are) swollen up, and considering they were originally intruding into the lung cavity (ew), that's pretty swollen. So... hoping it's just a muscle thing (susceptible to sweet talking and flattery) as opposed to a bone thing (only time will help).
In other news, tomorrow I drive three hours to Toldeo OH for a weekend of bellydance workshops and fellowship with some of the people I love best on the earth. I am truly hoping my ribs behave. :} I also have performances, but I'll worry about those as they come. There's not much I can do in the way of practice now that I've pissed off my ribs. I'll just have to hope that the week of practice I put in early (go, me!!) was fruitful.
In other other news, snow, snow, and snow; classes continue and I continue to love them; more possible voiceover work leads (!! Yes, and thank you to the Universe for that); feeling a bit as though life is a runaway train and am running behind it, but striving to enjoy sensation because really, what else will I do? :} As I know from my long and varied past, I do kind of enjoy the roller coaster as long as no-one dies or gets seriously hurt.
Speaking of hurt, ribs are aching again and think I could go back to sleep, so it's back to bed for me.
