Being dorks, Freddie and I often engage in tickle wars and rambunctous floor wrestling.
On Sunday, Freddie pulled a new WWF move on me -- he threw his entire weight onto my right side. You know those old Garfield cartoons in which Garfield spots a pan of lasagna and goes "Bonsai!" and pounces on it? It was a bit like that.
"Ooof! Get OFF me dude, I can't breathe!"
Monday morning, I woke up and - oh mah gah - my ribs! I could not move without wincing with pain. My right side hurt so much. I couldn't BREATHE it hurt so much.
Freddie called me at work.
"Dude - sup?"
"Dude? You smooshed my major organs yesterday. My ribs are killing me...I can't brea..OW!"
"Aw. You're fine. You probably just have a little bruise. You'll get better, it'll be okay."
Cut to last night.
We were watching Supernanny.
I? was close to TEARS. I was in that much pain.
Freddie changes his tune.
"Gee. Maybe I should take you to ER. You should probably get an x-ray just in case."
Gah!
That kind of freaked me out. I haven't ever gone to the hospital as a patient.
"No, no, no. Don't make me go to the hospital!"
Freddie paused for a moment and then decisively declared "Okay. well, let's just try this then."
He made me take three big aspirin-y thingies. Then he rubbed tiger balm all over my side and made a hot compress by microwaving a wet towel. Then he put the towel over the tiger balm and told me to lay there for 30 minutes.
Man, it STUNG.
But damned if I didn't wake up this morning...completely healed.
I'll never complain about laundering a bajillion scrubs ever again. It's a small price to pay for having your own on-call medical personnel.
