Thanks for all the kind wishes! I’m feeling even better today. Really, except for that “kicked in the ribs” pain, I’m fine. That, and the Percocet “why does my head feel like it’s floating off my shoulders?” sensation. But I’m eating normal food (fish and broccoli for dinner last night, oatmeal for breakfast this morning), which is nice.
I don’t know when I can get to those Christmas cookies, though. I think I’ll wait a while on those.
Sources I trust say that the connective tissue to the ribs is incredibly pain-sensitive, probably to keep you from going back and getting kicked in the ribs. So keep that in mind when you move around (like you’re going to be able to forget it).
Drugs, man! Drugs is GREAT!
