So H is on a drinking binge again. Like I said, he slept on the couch again last night. I woke up this morning and sat up abruptly and heard a pop and severe pain in my upper right chest. I think it's from my fall last week. I think I popped a rib out of or back into place. It didn't hurt all week but this abrupt move jacked it up. Can't breathe very well and quite a bit of pain if I bend over or move quickly. Called into work since I don't think I'll be much help there. Can't get to doctor since H is drunk and I don't drive, plus we don't have insurance. I called a friend of mine who works at the hospital and treats broken ribs and lung problems. She told me I should be ok with rest but if I feel worse or really short of breath she'll come get me. So just resting right now. H showed no deep concern, just advised me to rotate right arm and shoulder and see if that popped the rib back into place. Then he went into the bedroom and passed out. But I'm not going to concern myself with him... Right??? So guess I'll sit on the couch today and read. Can't afford to miss work but I need to take care of myself first. Yes, I will focus on me!!
