Back from the doctor's office. As I suspected, he told me to go home and keep it elevated. It's not swollen, so I don't need ice. DH is going to run out and get my prescription anti-inflammatories in an hour or so.
Right now, I'm mostly bored out of my skull and saying "motherFUCKER" every time I take a step, or cross my legs, or move my left knee at all. (My back gets cranky if I don't cross my legs after a while, so it's either deal with the knee pain or feel like I need to rip my spine out and stretch it. I'm splitting the difference right now.)
So. Bored. Still in pain.
Happy Birthday, Robin!

Gah! Sorry, accidentally deleted. Yeah, my rib was hurting like the day I broke it this morning. I took a couple of advil, and that took the edge off. My two theories this morning are a) a massive air pressure change came through this morning around the time I woke up, or b) I was coughing pretty hard just before I went to bed, and perhaps I re-cracked the rib.
Considering it's still painful, I'm starting to think the answer is b.

Ooh, that does sound painful. Is there anything you can do, other than sitting relatively still trying not to breathe too hard?

Nope. And, since it's not as debilitating as it was the first time around, and I am poor right now (just before leaving on a six day trip to Texas to meet gf's friends and family), I'm not even going to let it keep me home from work. Which will be hang-and-circuit, meaning I'll have lift things and work with my arms over my head for extended periods. We'll see how long I last.
Happy Birthday, KB!
Happy Birthday, Robin!
Ouch, Jessica. Try not to kick anyone.
Ouch, Sean. Stay away from funny people and try not to sneeze.
And gronk. My hubby's plane was two hours late last night so I got four hours of sleep and I have three meetings today. Yet another reason to hate the airlines.
oof, Sean. I hope it passes. Are you able to get to a doctor or anything?
Happy birthday Robin! Hope it was a wonderful one. Happy birthday Katerina Bee!
