How does that line from Buffy go? Add in a little rectal surgery, and this could be the best week ever

So, yes. Still sick. Not sleeping worth crap due to coughing. Feverish. Generally not a happy camper.

Then, the best part of my day off...last night, I did what we always tell our patients to do. Steamy shower, followed by cool air. Helps to loosen the phlegm.

Took a shower, and went out back to get air. Decided to sit on the swing, as it's soothing, and the night was pretty.

Promptly lost my balance, and tipped backwards. Made a grab, managed to snag the chain. Sadly, it was the front chain, which simply sped the progress backwards.

Landed on the top of my back, basically the ball of my shoulders. The good: It wasn't my head. The bad: Fucking OW!

Continued rotation, ending up on my stomach, eating grass. Somewhere along the way, I took a nice gouge out of my right shoulderblade (right under where the bra strap hits, fucking ow, again) and left my back and hands bruised.

Today, feel like a truck hit me, then reversed and ran over me again. Am at work, for now. Not planning on it lasting long, though. Will stick it out as long as possible, then the patients will have to suck it up.
