Operations have ceased...........
....... for the moment.
Hello friends,
As mentioned in post 140, a revolting development occured last night (8/18/2011): I substained an injury resulting in 2 fractured ribs. I am a stoic for pain, and I never have experienced the kind of pain I did this morning. Called a friend who took me the the VA hospital, and the doctor said a 3rd rib could be fractured as well, but it was hard for tell. I asked for a shot for the pain, and that helped a bit and made taking X-Rays tolerable. They mentioned about me laying down, and I said "NO WAY" - that I would have them done while standing up. So after being there for around 6 hours, I was sent home with a host of pills for inflamation and pain. Stay tuned..............
