"Frustrated"

Deep breath Peter!

Well actually don't do that, it hurts too much.

I tweaked something in my rib cage yesterday, either while I was cleaning up the fallen tree branches, or while I was fixing the eaves trough on the farmhouse.

Either way it wasn't a big deal, and I barely even noticed it anymore when I got up this morning.

And when I did get up I drove Sally's car to the shop with a plan of walking the 7 kms home.

Since I felt pretty good I even started out with a bit of a jog.

Three minutes in to my jog I had to cross the road, and as I turned my body to check traffic I had a blinding stab of pain in the same spot!!  Fuck!!  I slowly walked it off and managed to get home, but now in the evening I am in quite a bit of distress. I find myself breathing very shallow, and when I am forced to take a catch-up breath, it hurts like mad!

I have had this kind of issue before, and it typically takes several weeks to heal.

I know age is a factor but it still doesn't seem fair.  I feel so vulnerable.

Frustrated!

walk, 7 kms

.....let's see how I handle it....
