I hope so too. The rib I hit in my back hurts all the way to the front, makes it really hard to cough. Living on pain killers and position changes. The whole left side of my chest hurt even though I only hit it maybe an inch or two from my back bone. Really wacked it.. I was able to sleep last night sort of sitting up and on my back with my head high enough it took the pressure off my back. If it gets too bad in bed I'll come down to my recliner.
Go get xrayed!

You might have cracked a rib. That can hurt like the dickens (what's a dickens anyway?) It might help if Mrs Legs could wrap your chest tight. It would give you some support till it heals. Might be a good idea to get an x-ray to make sure, but that's what the doc is probably going to do for you if it is broken. Or maybe it's just a deep bruise, but either way it really hurts. Hope you heal quickly!

Thanks it felt better this morning then it did yesterday morning and actually slept pretty good. Only had to take 1 pill in the night. So I think it's going to be ok, Got another iron infusion on Tuesday but the chairs they have are these huge leather lazy boy recliners and they give you a blankie and a heating pad on the arm they are using so it's pretty comfy. I hate going to docs offices with this mumps outbreak here. These damned people who won't vaccinate their kids. I read a thing that in a study of 1100 people exposed to it that had the vaccine only 11 actually got it. They think it is changing to a vaccine resistant form. Arkansas is really hit with it also. Seattle area had a big flu problem this year also. The mayor there is all up in arms about Trump going to cut off aid to Sanctuary cities which Seattle is one we aren't over here on the redneck side of the state.

Watche Patriot Day last night, pretty good movie. Not out on DVD yet but available on Kodi with a stream called a SCR which is when they have awards shows everyone gets a copy of the movie and someone leaks one. Still DVD quality and you have to put up with a blip on the screen Property of CBS only for award purposes, I think 3 times but still worth it. Also saw Moana which was really good. Reminiscent of Little Mermaid. Excellent show in my opinion.
