Another Good Thing about Bruising One's Rib

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

It hurts to eat! Really, I had two pieces of toast (homemade sliced thin) and one slice of tomato (fresh from farmer's market) for breakfast and after I had eaten about half of my sandwich I was so full it literally hurt to breathe. So, I went in the kitchen, washed the dishes, and cleaned some green beans for lunch and came back and finished the sandwich because I was really hungry. I know a half sandwich should have been enough but my stomach was still growling at me and I wanted more food but my rib hurt. (wah wah)

emoticonWhen I came back to the table I took my pain medication before I tried too finish my little half a sandwich and cup of tea. I bet I have another weight loss this week.

emoticonMy swimming partner is a grandmother and her granddaughter had a baby so she is going out to visit her granddaughter every morning this week to help out because her granddaughter's husband already went back to work. She comes back at noon. Anyway, we're supposed to swim at 6:00 p.m. and I'm going to try tonight. But, I'm going to take a big nap this afternoon. I also slept late this morning.

emoticonMy other swimming partner is on vacation and won't be back until the 4th of July. So, it's just the two of us swimming. We still have a great time except I have not gotten in the pool since Friday because I fell on Saturday. I'm looking forward to getting in the pool. I know I'll be able to do some water walking just not sure about the crawl at this time.

emoticonJust waiting for the mending angel to come along and mend my little rib so I can start feeling better. You know I do believe this is a blessing in disguise. I'm more worried about my rib than I am about whether or not I still have cancer. I just thought about it for the first time today. I'd say that's a good thing.

Love to you all dear friends.

    Glad you are able to get back in the pool. Take it slowly. That sandwich sounded good. I must be getting hungry.
I am praying for you. Get well. emoticon

I hope you get in your swim tonight. Mari and I are planning to meet at a park near her house for a walk this evening. I've already walked 2.2 miles, mowed my yard, and did 15 minutes on the recumbent bike at the exercise park - and I'm feeling it!
