[pwd72s]

Whine, whine. Just back from the local ER. Took a nasty tumble yesterday. Stupid-stupid. Bumped my head on an open cabinet door. Jumped back, lost my footing, spun, fell into the corner of a kitchen counter. Self diagnosis was instant. Knew what I'd done when I picked myself off the floor. Knowing they no longer tape broken ribs, I thought I could tough it out with the pain. This morning I caved. I'm a wimp! A whiney wimp.

X rays confirmed my diagnosis. Got a prescription for a pretty potent pain killer...oxy hook ya stuff.
Winging on it now. Whoa! Scary stuff. Plan is to take it only to sleep, don't want to get hooked.

Gawd, was told 4-6 weeks to heal since the fractures aren't lined up straight.

Was also told "at your age, this often means hospitalization." Oh no...I sure don't want that.

Back to whine-whine.
