No Hugs for Me!!

Well, I made it to my 50th year before sustaining any broken bones...

I am celebrating the first week of being 50 with a fractured rib! I actually broke it Monday- on my birthday! Apparently I am fragile and hugging me too tightly can break me!! We think it's pretty funny, only it hurts too badly to laugh!

I talked with my doctor, and she didn't recommend driving all the way down to LA, waiting hours to get x-rayed, and subject myself to more radiation, only to be told that they don't do anything for broken ribs other than give pain killers while you wait a couple weeks for it to heal. Thankfully, she diagnosed me over the phone and called in a prescription.
