It has not been a fun night. I haven't been able to sleep because of the pain in my right side of my chest and ribs. I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon and found out that I have pulled all of these muscles in my chest and ribs and separated the ribs. I also have an upper respiratory infection so, kind of got a double whammy here. The doctor prescribed antibiotics, more pain meds, muscle relaxers, rest, and time. It will take a few more weeks to heal up. Poor Mom feels bad but it was just an accident. She was out of it with high fever and didn't realize what she was doing. I had mentioned in an earlier post that she wanted her bed lowered there in the E.R. this was two weeks ago when she was in the hospital. It has a manual lever to raise and lower it. When I lowered it for her she pushed herself up at the same time and it put all of her weight on my right side arm, chest, leg, ect. It will get better with time. Just going to take awhile to heal up. The heating pad does help. We are going to Scott's folks and family this 4th of July weekend. I think I will just float around in the pool. I am not going to do much for sure. Just take it easy and watch everyone else I think. Wow this is Tuesday and we leave Thursday evening. I am hoping that I feel some better by then.
