Well, I don't know what the crap is wrong with me, but hopefully it doesn't continue. Out of nowhere today, my left rib area started hurting REALLY badly, in the same spot where it used to hurt off and on after I thought I cracked a rib from rock climbing. That was months ago, though, and I've been fine since. I have no idea why suddenly today, in the same spot it would start hurting super badly and I couldn't get comfortable no matter how I sat in my chair, and even breathing in and out hurt.
I called my doctor's office, and of course they're closed on Wednesdays. So I went to the urgent care doctor across the street (I happened to be at my mom's oncologist's office with her while she was getting her chemo today), and I told them what was up and asked if I could see someone, and they told me they flat out do not accept any HMO insurance. Grrrr.
So I went back to my mom's oncolgist's office to just sit and wait it out. One of the nurses there was nice enough to give me a few Ibuprofens, so that kicked in after awhile and I felt better... but wow, if it wears off and I feel the same pain again I was feeling earlier, I'm not sure I should even go to work tomorrow or if I should go to my doctor's about this. It scares me now since it seems like this should be a nonissue by now if it had just been a fractured rib... it would've healed by now, right?
If that weren't exciting enough, I got a letter in the mail yesterday saying I'm gonna be cut from my parents' insurance on December 19th cos that's when I turn 23. What a nice birthday present. Then I'll have to figure out how to get the birth control pills I'm on without paying an arm and a leg, and I'll have to figure out how to get myself some contact lenses next year without vision insurance. Or I could maybe just move to Canada and get in on the free healthcare system. :P I told Phillip he and I should just get married and then the Marine Corps would take care of me. Haha, then he just started asking me questions like where i'd work and go to school if he and I got married and I moved up there... I told him I'd figure something out. :P
Anywho, just thought I'd give y'all an update about my fun rib issues I've had today. Be praying this isn't anything bad, please, if you pray. I'm sure it's not, but still... I have no idea why I'd be in so much pain so randomly.
