On Monday night, I fell asleep holding Alan on his "brown chair". As I got up to put him in his crib, my legs gave out, and I crashed into his crib and fell to the ground, holding Alan in my arms so as to not drop him. I laid there for 15 minutes clutching my rib cage - couldn't get up. Alan fell asleep on the floor, uninjured and unaware of my crash.
By Thursday, my ribs still ached but there was no bruising, but I was still in pain, and decided that I better get myself checked out, especially since I was having trouble breathing which was freaking me out. Plus, I could only sleep at night on a chair because it hurt to much to lay down. As a result, I strained my neck which also was painful (Such a bag of symptoms I am!)
Thursday afternoon, I finally hauled myself to the doctor...I ended up at the Urgent Care office because my own doctor said they could do an x-ray. Turns out that the x-ray machine (from the 1960's) kept on breaking down, but the good news is that nothing seems to be broken, and FINALLY I have some pain medicine and can take solice that my breathing issue has nothing to do with anything punctured, but just a result of the contusion/pain.
