Ribs...who needs them?!

So on Friday while waiting for my lunch to cook, I was coughing which I have been doing for about a month now, and heard a pop pop and couldn't breath. I went and spoke to my supervisor and told her I felt that I needed to go to Insta Care. I left and went, and was told that I had broken some ribs and had broncitus as well. I couldn't believe how much pain I was in. I could hardly move sit cough or anything without being stricken with immense amount of pain. My mom was wonderful and came up to help me out. I wouldn't have been able to do it without her. Saturday and Sunday was major relaxing days. Just took meds and tried not to cough as it hurt so badly. Then I went to a doctor on Monday who excused me from work until today. I am so glad because one, my body totoally needed it, but also because I appreciated spending time with my mom, and being allowed to let my body rest for a bit. I was so sick and had tried to ignore it for weeks, and then finally being able to be sick was exactly what the doctor ordered. My cough is already getting better. Although not healed, my ribs are not nearly as painful as they were on Friday. I truly wouldn't have enjoyed the time off at all, had it not been for my mom who was my friend and mentor. Thank you Mom!!!
