Good morning friends,
I am feeling better but definitely still sore and had lots of radiation (aka X-rays). My Dr. thinks that I have two bruised ribs and possibly hairline fractures. Which would explain every time I move a certain way, or roll over in bed or lift my arms certain height I get that pin needle pain feeling. Lower jaw is fine but bruised, and my arm is bruised so luckily that’s all and she said my arm is burned but to the extent of a sunburn.
She did prescribe me some pain meds for my chest injury, which I’m kinda greatful and not lol. I am required to take these as needed yes but not allowed at all at work. So they have given me some kinda cool options to an extent. One is I have tons of sick leave, they said I could take two weeks and then see how I am. (Rather not waste it but as I know more severe unseen injuries can come from airbags (aka cardiovascular and can take longer to show up). I have had a mild reaction to the dust that’s in the airbag so my breathing is limited plus hurts my chest when it moves or a breath deeply. So experience the new pro air, and wow do those make one restless. I knew it could but I guess since I have never used one as compared to some who have used them mild to daily.
They also offered that I could still work in the er, but not with patients. I would just help other staff with non patient stuff lol aka chart updates registration etc until I’m better. Or better yet I could some upcoming medical classes (yay more classes lol). In light of said options I have almost 200 hours of sick leave, using 80 wouldn’t be all that bad. I can also take unpaid time off which so far I kinda like the most. I mean let’s be honest I was yelled at lol for forgetting to deposit my paychecks. I have more than enough saved to survive a 6 month or more likely a year. But it’s really annoying everytime one breaths or rolls over etc it wakes you up. Luckily it will subside my arm and jaw is already better and not as bad. My ribs and sternum I thought maybe a month or two, my doctor thinks more likely 6 months to heal. I can say one thing I don’t have to take a full dosage of the medicine I’m like maybe half of that. Which makes me totally understand why to not be at work lol. (Which I know but that’s whats so funny about medicine every person has a totally different response to proven meds).
I have noticed that moving my ro water jugs is fairly lol very painful. So I basically lol have four five gallon buckets and a small drinking glass to top my water off. It takes so bloddy long to top my tank off with a normal size drinking glass. My tank on some days can lose up to five gallons a day lol. That’s a lot of water to move with a normal sized drinking glass, which by the way yes still hurts. I use my right arm, which isn’t too bad but I’m a dominant lefty but can do most with my right just feels weird that I have to.
So In short I haven’t done a whole lot since that day, yes I feel lazy. But I normally curl into a tiny little ball to sleep, and that actually hurts now. So finding that perfect spot that’s comfty and doesn’t feel as if one is ramming an ice pick between my ribs has been a challenge. I have used ice packs and heat packs both have they love hate relation but they help. Sadly so far the couch which also declines seems to be the best as I can sleep kinda umm reclined but sitting upward weird position. That part at least get some sleep until I fall over on the couch. So I put pillows and blankets on the side of me lol. But of all normally my tank is really quiet or the fact I sleep upstairs I don’t notice. But wow the overflow noise through the pipes is crazy loud or I have become hearing sensitive. I also didn’t realize how bright my wave maker leds are ( covered them up pretty quick with a nice Disney book. See books do have more than one purpose other than learning from.
No new update on my Jeep, but driving some little Ford Focus is really really different. It’s nice I don’t need a ladder to get in it, but terrified to drive that it has three more airbags around the driver than my Jeep does. I may walk to work, I couldn’t imagine having three go off at once.
I do try to at least making it enjoyable to read and well at times ahhh off topic. I’d feel so bad if I bored anyone to death lol. That’s just wrong on so many levels
