Can't take a trick!

Hi ladies, well I am in the wars again. I can't seem to take a trick. I was having a lovely time at a market on Saturday but the heavens opened and down came the rain. Everyone was scampering for shelter and after getting out of the way of some children, I slipped on the side of the path and went down like a tonne of bricks. Straight onto my new left boob which knocked all the wind out of me and I had images of my boob being mangled and squashed. Luckily that didn't happen LOL. Well the pain in my chest has steadily gotten worse and last night it was fairly agonising. I was worried that I could be bleeding internally with the blood thinners I'm on, not that there was any evidence of that. So today I went to my GP to get it checked out. He suspects I may have cracked a rib or two so I needed to have X-rays. I wasn't even thinking about my ribs. He said at the very least they are badly bruised. I must have run over a dozen people in my past life! What a year! But on the bright side, I've been told to rest up and not to exert myself for a while. So I'm sitting on my verandah with a cuppa and ignoring the house work. That's got to put a smile on my face :) Have a great day today ladies. Love Janey xxx

  • Poor you, it is really annoying when we experience "normal" things as well, like colds, migraines and accidents.

    Take extra special care, eh? xxMandy

  • Hi Deanne, yes I have aquired a taste for a soothing tea, it certainly narrows it down when coffee makes you hurl, its just not the same since chemo.....but i am not missing it.

  • The worst is almost over, Carolyn! You should be able to enjoy Christmas knowing no more chemo, yay! Radiotherapy really is just a bit tiring and a bit of discomfort towards the end. Nothing as bad as the endurance test of Chemo. Have a lovely Christmas! Deanne xxx
  • Oh Janey, you poor thing. So sorry to hear you are back in the wars. Enjoy your cuppa on the verandah & the housework can always wait. Oh & guess what my last chemo is scheduled for Friday, cannot wait...:) Take care of yourself - seriously Carolyn xx
  • Oh Janey, R & R for you. I hope all mends well and no more wars for you. Keep smiling hugs Jo
