I think I have one.
A fact about me: I’ve never broken a bone in my body. I don’t think anything is broken, but I also don’t think it’s simple bruising.
I am right-handed and it’s my right side, but this (sitting, typing) isn’t bothering me at all. It’s more the cumulative overdoing. I think I can blog.
Happened Thursday and has gotten progressively more painful and limiting. But maybe it’s more painful because I still went to yoga class Thursday evening. I couldn’t do much cobra, but I did everything else. Friday, I can’t remember much of what I did.
Annie has been sick and awake in the middle of the night needing all sorts of things, so that doesn’t help. Two nights in-a-row so far. I’ve still been fighting off a weird virus myself, on-again, off-again. A mild cough, pathetic actually, it’s so small.
Ibuprofin and aspirin and ice packs. When I feel better, I do a lot. I hate to be too lazy. Okay, I used to hate to be lazy but that was before I started my blog.
Now will try to soak in those good Dead Sea salts I buy cheap from a company in Oregon. I have been buying my massage oils and essential oils and Dead Sea salts from them for over 20 years. I can’t say I’m crazy about their website, but I can say I’m crazy about their selection and prices.
I don’t have any birch oil, but birch oil is good for aches and pains. Now you know.
Here is a skeleton for you. 
I have never broken any bones. Maybe I broke my nose once. It’s crooked now and I remember it hurt a lot when my brother punched me with boxing gloves.
EEK, brother + boxing gloves sounds dangerous. I am glad my brother didn’t have boxing gloves. I remember getting beat up pretty good at least once. Nothing broken, though, just a red back. twinkly
So how did you break your rib?
Melinda, I couldn’t quite bring myself to say how in this post, but I do say so in the post I wrote today. Thanks for reading, as usual! twinkly
i think i broke my little toe last week. stubbed it on a chair. my in-house acupuncturist-herbalist needled it and got an herbal formula to soak it in. it’s all better now. hope your rib feels better soon.

Fabulous news that it is healed. Heeled? HA, get it? They are both part of the foot, the toe and the heel that is.
Yes, acupuncture is amazing. Do we get more careless as we age? I know our reflexes slow so moving out of the way of dense objects happens slightly less quickly.
You could send some herbal soak this way, but I’m doing much better. Maybe it was just a contusion. K
only the mrs and her mentor know the ingredients for the herb soak, so you’d have to ask her. she used it after she was *hit by a truck* so it is powerful stuff.
wish i could say that i broke my toe having sex involving a massage table (shrimping accident!), but it would be a lie. we do have a massage table, but the same rule applies as when you wuz a working m-t. gotta wait until retirement, dang.
