Okay, long story, but I managed to break a rib this week. It's not a bad break, but it's still uncomfortable enough to keep me out of the pool for a while. Anyone else come back after a similar injury? I'm wondering how long I should expect to be out before I get back into the pool. The doctor didn't have a specific guideline, just said that it varies. In the meantime, I'm worried that all the skills I've worked on so hard for the past year are going to disappear while I'm lounging around resting. :(

Once I was walking my dog. I coughed as he pulled on the leash. I felt a sharp pain in my right chest. I had had a pneumothorax at a nother tiem. I went to the ER and I had craked a rib. All of the doctors & nurses thought that it was really funny. they knew me from treating me for asthma attacks. Good thing was they didn't bill me because they were so glad that it was rahter minor. Lesson of the story is that if you crack a rib go to the ER at George Washington Univ.
