Just when I think my ribs are feeling a little better I do something silly. I have a bag of oxygen tanks I carry in the back of my car at all times. Today I decided I would have my car thoroughly cleaned and washed. I wanted to remove everything. I thought my body was strong enough to lift the bag of tanks, boy was I wrong! I should know by now not to push things. Tonight when I cough I get zingers. That’s the only way I can explain it, a zing of pain. It prevented me from finishing my hour on the treadmill. I have learned my lesson, I still need to take it easy and allow my cracked ribs to heal completely.
