Hil, I don't even know what that is, that you said you did to your rib.
Subluxation. It's like a partial dislocation, where the bones don't totally pop out of the joint, but kind of slide halfway out. Common in people like me with Ehlers-Danlos. (The ones that I sublux most often are my shoulder and knee. I was really worried when I started trapeze that it would pull my shoulder out, but it seems like trapeze doesn't pull in the direction that my shoulder is fragile.)
That sounds painful! Jeez, be careful! And yes to more ice, I think.
Gropes are good. It's a good night for groping.

You think I'm gorgeous, you want to kiss me... You want to hug me... You want to love me... You want to hug me... You want to smooch me... You want to...

Hugging and groping is always good.

Heh. But wouldn't they then start with the "Are you Korean?" shit again, ita?
I'm watching SYTYCD, and remembering why I get annoyed at the audition shows again. Ay. Thank goodness for TiVo, so I can fast forward through teh annoying bits, and just watch teh good people.
Trying to ice a rib is difficult. End up getting my whole torso cold. Feeling a bit better, though.
Hil, that reminds me, have you been here: [link]
For something that people say is so rare, I've got three people on my LJ flist with it. (Including you.)
Yep, I have seen that site, Plei. Thanks.
I think that the hypermobility type of EDS is more common than the other types. (My doctor's not sure whether I have classical type or hypermobility type -- I've got some symptoms of classical type, but I'm a few symptoms short of meeting the official criteria. There are some genetic tests, but they're expensive and my doctor doesn't really see the point, since there would be no difference in treatment if they gave it one name or the other.)
