Title: This week sucks
Post by ExplodingEyeBall on Feb 23rd, 2006, 8:59am
Saturday... Not feeling to good. Sneezing a little. Couldn't sleep very well. It's almost cycle time and I wake up at 3:00 A.M. every night and am afraid to go back to sleep. I know the beast is on his way soon.

Sunday..... Daughter is sick. So am I. I'm coping though. Still didn't sleep much.

Monday.... I left work early because my sinuses we're making me insane and I couldn't get anything done anyways. Slept about 2 hours. Sinus cold triggered cluster headaches 4 times in the night. This shouldn't be happening yet.

Tuesday.... Stayed home cause I'm still sick and didn't get enough sleep to function. First time I have EVER used sick time two days in a row in my life.

Wednesday...... Feeling better and went to work. A co-employee gave me about 400 book sized pieces of pine. They know I camp a lot and I could use it. While loading the wood in m trunk, I bumped my head on the trunk latch and gashed the top of my head.

When I got home, I wanted to put all of the pieces of wood in a wheel barrow to move it.

When I grabbed the wheel barrow and tried to turn left with it, it bottomed out and stopped. I walked right into the handle and BROKE A RIB!!!!!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE KILL ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid to see what today will bring. I at least made it to work alive. In pain but alive.

Sorry for ranting. I had to or I would have started screaming.

Thanks Pat. I needed the hug. But not to hard. It hurts to even breath.

...yes, I've heard about rib pain, but at least you're getting more O2, even with those shallow breaths, as a result of your "smokeless" weeks. :D

Sherbet and it sounds like you've got a re-run of a Friday the 13th!

Sorry, pal.  With a broken rib you better not sneeze or cough.

I'm sure next week will be a better one.

Very soft hug on the way ;)

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Not the bubble wrap!?!?!

I thought that was reserved for Zazi.

Jaz.... I've already found how painful it can be to cough or sneeze with a broken rib. A cough doubled me over this morning and I will do everything in my power to avoid sneezing.

Damn, Pat.  Sorry to hear you're having such a rough time of it.

Hang in there.  Remember, it could always be worse.  Someone could tell you a seriously funny joke.  OOOWWWW!

Bummer, dude.  :(
Try to keep a positive outlook, all this will pass. Try not to hold in sneezes, as much as they hurt... I heard you can actually damage your eyes that way.  :-/
Sending pain and snot free vibes and prayers, Pat. hugs, nani

Praying for better days ahead for you...

Hugs,
Langa

Have to move into your rubber room for while....and the bubble wrap is a good idea.

Take care of what's left. http://subscribe.smileygenerator.us/new/albums//envy.gif

Pat I'm sorry hon but.. you need to breathe deeply ever so often even if it does hurt. If you don't you will end up with a chest infection and that will hurt even more. Trust me, I'm the Queen of Broken Ribs.. I know this!
I got told to take one deep breath for every 20 normal shallower breaths which isn't practical so I try just to remember to take a deep breath (slowly!) ev ery few minutes.
Take care
love
Helen

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

I actually made it home alive yesterday.

It's getting a little better now but sleeping is a major pain.

The broken rib is on the side I sleep on.
I did actually get some sleep last night though. I hadn't slept in several days and I think I passed out when I hit the bed.
