Wow.

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.

Oh honey! That sounds like a really nasty fall. Lots of ice and anti-inflamms and pain meds for you, Missy, and bedrest! As soon as you get home!! I'm going to worry until you're better, dammit.

Sending loads of healing energy.

Oh goody. Now Jess won't have to worry alone.

I'll get there. Eventually.

[justsonya.livejournal.com]

You poor love. That's just the worst combination of bad luck I've seen in forever. You MUST have some good coming to make up for all of it.

Oh I'm so sorry. But dang that sounded specatcular. I HIGHLY recommend codiene. When I had the near death flu, taking codiene for my migraine stopped the cough DEAD in it's tracks. Helped me sleep blissfully and ignore the fever. Plus I'm sure it will make the rest of your body feel better/numb. *smooches* Hope you get/feel better soon.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've been sucking down the codine. It's helped a bit. I've actually gotten a few hours sleep/night.

Thanks, sweetie.

*GENTLE hugs* I'm so sorry, honey. :-( You didn't end up throwing your shoulder out of wack along with it all, did you?

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*snuggle* It's not thrilled with me, but it's hard to tell whether I did more damage or not. I figure in a couple days, when all the swelling and bruising eases up, I'll know for sure.

(Btw, I feel like a total shit for missing your birthday, but at that point, focusing on the screen made me nauseous. So belated happy birthday, and I'll make it up to you when I see you again. *nod*

[alysonwonderlan.livejournal.com]

*hugs* PLEASE don't worry about my birthday. It's not a big deal. Promise. :-) We'll have cake and cake for Jess and I both at some point and all will be right with the world.

Good Grief, Charlie Brown! :-/

*hugs*

I hope things get better (and you get better!) soon! Ye Gods!

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Good luck would be nice. I could go for that.
*nod*

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Eh, I still feel bad. But y'know, managing what I can, and living with the rest.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

I'm special. Mommy says so. If I keep this up, she's going to get me a "special" helmet. *nod*

Thanks darlin. I'm working on it. *hug*

*pets* My poor love. You really are having a crappy week. Wish I could fix it, but will settle for cuddles (and fetching and carrying, if you so desire).

[beanside.livejournal.com]

I didn't know we had slave girls! *grin* You're wonderful. I'm sorry I've been such a pain in the ass. Also, I love you.

[nilchance.livejournal.com]

No silver paint, though.

You haven't been a pain in the ass, you've been sick. Neither sick nor header off the swing is your fault. So there.

I love you, too.

[axis2cluster-b.livejournal.com]

Good lord.

I'd hug you, but I'm afraid it'd hurt.

[caarirose.livejournal.com]

*snuggle love* My poor honey. Just rest and get yourself well. Let yourself be coddled!

[katzb101.livejournal.com]

*very ginger hugs and lots of good thoughts.* Take care of yourself and get well soon.

[one-more-cherry.livejournal.com]

I really hope your awful luck with health finally turns around! *hugs*

[parchmentheart.livejournal.com]

Sorry you are feeling so bad! That was a nasy tumble. Take care of yourself.

Tina? How are you?

[beanside.livejournal.com]

It would be nice! Enjoy your concert!

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm doing a bit better now.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Jess has that problem, too.

Thanks for the thought, though.

[one-more-cherry.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!

[parchmentheart.livejournal.com]

Same as always. :)
