Last Wednesday made 3 weeks since I fell. For the most part there was not much pain after the first week--which included, of course, some high-powered prescription drugs, none of which I liked very much for their many negative side effects. By the time 3 weeks had passed I'd abandoned the scripts and was just taking OTC 200mg ibuprofen. By Wednesday last I'd also abandoned those, as well, except I took one at bedtime last night on account of being tired after futzing around most of the day and helping Galen with his bumper project--mostly doing design work. I still can't lay on my side without getting the feeling I'm overstressing something that's not quite ready to be stressed so I sleep on my back in the hospital bed adjusted with the head end a bit elevated. I normally never sleep on my back--except when taking a nap on the couch and want to wake up soon. Last Monday I walked 6 blocks to the CVS and back and Wednesday hiked about a half mile from Sao Paulo cafe to the Grotto (cave club) meeting and then back again after the meeting to the Posse for a cold beer, the first alcohol of any kind I'd drunk since the fall. Yesterday I had a Ranger beer and hardly noticed it. Also, last Wednesday I got Galen to cut off the skraggly-ass hair I'd been growing since the 2012 NSS Convention. The last few days I've had but very little sensitivity to any kind of stress or movement. I can tell the ribs are still weak but they seem to be mending beyond my expectations. Maybe I'll be ready to get back to physical labor in 2 more weeks. --Ediger
