Guess What?

Well, the rib is fractured! So...it looks like 2-3 weeks before it's healed, and a few more days of pain. The dr. gave me some pain killers....800mg. of Ibuprofin, and Tylenol#3 w/codine. Gee....I shouldn't feel a thing! lol He also told me that if heat, or wrapping it made it feel better, that I could do that. I kept it wrapped yesterday, but by the end of the day, it was pretty sore. Today, I've gone without a wrap, and it seems to not hurt quite as bad. I did put a heating pad on when i got home from the dr....and was able to take about 1 1/2 hr. nap, since I didn't get much sleep at all last night. Hopefully, tonight, with the tylenol #3, I'll sleep a little better.
The dr. said no lifting over 10lb., which is impossible at my work, and he wrote me an excuse taking off work for a week. I hated to do that to Aaron, plus, I really can't be without a weeks pay, so after talking to Aaron, he said he would do all the heavy lifting over the next couple of weeks. I should be able to do everything else that I normally do. It's just gonna be a slow, and somewhat painful process for the next 2-3 weeks.
We're headed for Indiana this weekend to help lee's mom finish moving. Needless to say, I won't be of much help, I'm afraid, without being able to life like usual. I guess we'll just see how it goes.
Well, just thought I'd drop in and let you know the latest. I'll be around...it's a good thing my dr. didn't tell me "no typing"...hehehehehehe
Take care, and say a few prayers that this rib heals quickly, and without much pain!
Love,
Lev
