Dear Body:

Am v. v. sorry I made 'worst roommate ever' jokes. ALso sorry for not taking more horrible Canadian turpentine to stop coughing. Also also sorry for everything else I ever did to you ever.

Now pls. let go of musculature on left side between bottom ribs and partway to hip. This hurt like hell last night. it hurt this morning. It responded okay to ibuprofen. I went for lunch and while I was on the way there OH GOD IT CAME BACK and now it won't go away. The least little bend in my posture or excessive expansion/contraction of my abdomen beyond normal breathing hurts like a mofo.

If I tore a muscle or strained a muscle or something by all that coughing I'm very sorry for it. It won't happen again. Now please let go of those muscles and let the ibuprofen work or else both of us are going to suffer.

Love,

Your humble and pathetic servant that has to sort through all the nerve impulses you get,

The brain.

You need to be careful. Friend of mine had that severe cough thing going & started getting tose pains & he ended up finding out he'd CRACKED 2 of his ribs from the coughing. Turns out severe coughing can not only crack ribs it can also cause you to tear supporting ligaments that hold them together.

Really.

Huh.

I don't think they're cracked- it felt better to sleep on the hurting side than the non-hurting one last night- but torn ligaments are aother story. Damn.

You might try picking up a really big Ace banndage and wrapping yourself with it. The constriction will halp keep you from overexpanding your chest. They also sell these neat little strips that supress the coughing mechanism when they melt in your mouth. They taste almost as good as the Canadian turpentine compund, but can be used all day as they do not cause drowsiness--just a fould taste in the mouth that will last for about a week after you're over this thing.

You could also seek professional medical treatment, and maybe score some cough mixture with codeine. They might even x-ray your chest.

All my other cough-induced aches have lasted about two days. If this is still in place tomorrow morning, I'm phoning the doctor for an appointment.

Hope you're better soon.

.... I have to go laugh until my side no longer merely hurts but actually splits open now. Good Lord.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thought you would. :)
I don't know how long it will stay up until someone wipes it. Pass it on *now*, and if you want to copy and save it, I recommend you do it quick. I am *so* glad you enjoyed it. Hope you haven't cracked a rib... talk about side-splittingly funny...
