Guessing it’s been at least 5 years now since those lower ribs decided to break. (I could look it up, but nah. Doesn’t really matter.)

But, I just keep getting impressed at how, anytime something makes the muscles around them tighten up, they will still hurt like a sonofabitch. With as far down as mine go, that also means the lower back tightening up will set them off 🤗

Tonight they’re being particularly fun, after that fall earlier and then getting really cold. Usually it’s mostly the one side with more (totally healed for years) breaks, but the other side wanted to get in on the act too.

Hoping that will calm down some with sleep, but we’ll see.
