Health issues
Flu's a tough bitch. First I had the bachelor's party to go to, then a week later, after staying up all night. I decided to go to this festival close-by. Well Friday was fine with great weather and Saturday started off the same. But then once we got the festival area, it started pouring rain like 15 mins after getting there. Oh well, drunk as I was, I didn't really mind and seeing a couple of my friends out in the open when there was no shelter to take cover in - we just stayed outside, drank beer and talked shite. After a while the rain stopped and clothes were naturally wet.
Then on Sunday I got back and on Monday started to get the flu. No biggy, that's the price to pay. But then on Wednesday evening I suddenly just coughed a bit harder and felt this stinging pain in my left rib. Hurt like hell, but I didn't really mind. Then another cough and it started to hurt a bit more. This repeated a few times and by the time I went to bed, it really hurt to cough at all. I took a couple of painkillers to numb the pain and went sleep.
Around 4am I woke up when I started coughing with a dry mouth. Hate when that happens, but the pain was so agonizing that I was barely able to get up for some water. I did get up though and went to get a couple of 500mg painkillers + water. Then came back to bed. The pain was really devastating and I started to really feel bad mentally as well. I was afraid of every single cough coming and immediately when I felt one coming, I headed over to my bed where I had a big pillow that I rested my left rib on while coughing. It easied the pain a bit, but something had to be done so I called the ER as soon as they opened at 8am. Described my problem and got an appointment 30mins later. Woke up my dad (he had a b-day, must have really liked the timing) and asked for a ride over there. Got there, took xray and found out that I had fractured my rib(s?).
The doc prescribed me with some painkillers to be taken 3 times a day. A dose of 1800mg each time. That really did the trick and a couple of days later I'm able to move and cough again a lot better. Doesn't hurt that much and I don't take the whole dose every time anymore. 1800mg really makes you sleepy. I easily slept 12 hours a night (or day).
So now I'm waiting for my knee examination on 18th and that's when they decide if I'm having the knee operation or not. If you don't know what's wrong with it, it's my ACL. Arterior Cruciate Ligaments or something... Painful as hell. Also my knee spiral's been acting up and that's what they fixed the last time. This time I'm hoping that if I'm actually getting the operation, my knee would be fixed. The past few years have been horrible mentally and physically. Gaining weight and not having the physical condition to deal with it is really hard to handle. There's a lot of issues behind the whole thing, but that's for another scribbling, if I feel sharing about it.
Anyways.
Peace,
Toni
Top Browser extensions: Forecastfox
I decided to start tipping some of the extensions I've in my Firefox so here we go with the first one - Forecastfox.
If you're like me, you may sit inside most of the day, but want to know what's up outside in case you're heading out at some point :)
That's where this simple extension comes in handy. Now I haven't used it with Chrome, but I reckon it's a no brainer to install and use just like on Firefox.
