WHERE HAVE I BEEN.....YOU ASK?


In heating pad hell with weather temps around 35...!!!!





Why the heating pad?



Four weeks ago I started feeling this pain on one of my ribs, right under the left boob and it has slowly become worse and worse.

Knowing that I had done nothing damaging to it, figured that the bra's under wired had somehow bruised a rib while having too many naps/sleeps on the couch.

I did away with the under wire!



The pain has progressed from that spot and has traveled around to my backbone?



The pain got sooooo bad Tuesday morning that I had to drag BillyRoo out of bed at 4 to take me to the hospital...I thought I was having an angina attack because the pain was in my left shoulder and bicept like before!



Happily the heart is still beating and that wasn't it...!




Seems I might have an inflamed cartlige around that rib and it could have progressed into the backbone?


No cures...


Take 2 Ibprophen per day to try to relax the area and use a heating pad.



Through the years I get these flare-ups that happen to different parts of my body and it was suggested by a doctor in 1972 [after getting whip lash from a car accident] that I have arthris in my shoulders and back? As I get older the joints complain more and more...



So all I can do is hope for the best and get through the pain as best as I can...




Wait a minute...

Ibprophen is an anti-inflamatory drug!


I was taken off this type of medication due to the reactions from the other medication I'm taking for the heart problems I have?



Pain killers and prescribed medications?



Isn't there something about that in the news lately....?









All those years that I eased the pain through natural means.......?








Too bad the best pain relief for me is.......





AGAINST THE LAW!





I'm not a doctor so what do I know.....




I have to have faith that they know what they are doing....







Time to wrap myself in the heating pad, take A pill and listen to the drone of the air-conditioner while I sit at my chair trying to do some work....
