Well, I was picking something up.  It came up quicker than I was expecting and hit me in my chest.  Instant pain…just thought it was because it hit me.

It's now been three or four days and I am in pain!  Not so bad that I need to go to the ER, but enough that it hurts to open doors, pick up things, stand up, sleep, deep breaths, laugh…you get the picture.

So, either I pulled a muscle, tore something, or broke a rib up hear my sturnum…but the guys here at work are making as many jokes as they can.  The just like seeing me wench when I start to laugh.

I have a call into my doctor, so I'm waiting for them to call me back with a Time that I can come in.

ooooh….good luck there, man.

Let us know what's up!

And have those guys tape ya when they get you laughin'--we need entertainment too you know. ;o)

I have an appointment with my doctor at 4 today.

So I should know more later.

Make sure they get a chest x-ray.  Chances are it's a bad bruise or a cracked rib, but you want to make sure that your lungs are looking ok. 

What ever happened to your ears, btw?

They have seemed to clear up. I don't have the ringing anymore…and they don't sound all muffeled.  So it looks like you were right…thank you.  You kick ASS!

I kick ass by doing nothing.  That takes talent. *chuckle*

well what did the doc say?

Hairline and brused bones.

Not much they can do.  3-4 Motrin 3-4 times a day.  The pain's going to be around for 4 or so weeks.

Youch. 

Oh Oh….well….better keep the missus out of the saddle for awhile.

*runs*
