Rib shot

I went out to my freezer, which is located in my utility room the night before last. Going to get an ice cream bar. Tripped on the last concrete step, wrenched my knee and hit the ground flush on the upper right side of my body.

I felt stupid but pretty good, considering.

All day yesterday I still felt pretty good. And then last night my right side started aching fiercely. Was it my only remaining kidney? That would be no good. This morning the pain became excruciating. I think I either fractured a rib or tore connective tissue. Hurts like hell.

I took ibuprofen and felt better this afternoon but now it is back. Took two more ibuprofen and cracked open the tramadol, which I have had on reserve but have never used. 

Hopefully whatever I have screwed up will heal soon because I feel miserable.
