Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hey, Still's friends, just had to let you know about my day. Just got back from the ER and am suffering from a broken rib. All this because I was cleaning my bathtub and reached to get a towel and landed, full body weight, on the rim. Add to that fact that I have been suffering from a bad cold since Christmas Day, had to go on a antibiotic, and am still coughing. For those of you who've never broken a rib, coughing hurts! Apparently they don't do anything but treat the pain, they did make sure nothing was poking. My CBC was high over 17,000 but it's been high. They told me to check in with my RD in a few days to make sure. Thank goodness my son was home when this happened. I woke him up from a dead sleep, crying and screaming in pain. He was very calm (he's 20) and immediately took charge. He has grown up so much... he is leaving January 16th for Army Basic Training and I will miss him greatly! Then, when we got home, he asked if I was okay for a few minutes. I asked him what he was going to do and he said, " I am going to go fill in those two holes in the driveway. " Okay. Wow. I didn't even have to ask! I have been keeping up with everyone but have really felt too sick to respond to much. Sorry about that. I am hoping I don't suffer too much the next few days since I am already feeling other sore muscles as a result of the fall. Be well everyone!
