Due to lovely allergies, I have been coughing like crazy.
Last Thursday night I coughed for just about 3 hours straight, extremely violently. I was laying on the floor lurching about in quite a bit of discomfort.
The next morning I woke up and my ribs on the left side of my chest we excruciatingly painful. Especially when I'd cough, sneeze or breathe.
This pain continued on through my Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, and the day I drew pictures at Borders, all the way up until yesterday when I went to the chiropractor before watching the Live-Action Death Note movie in theaters last night (it was fabulous, by the way. Three of my friends were cosplaying as L, Light, and Misa. They did pretty good^^). At the chiropractor I went through a great deal of pain and had to suffer the embarrassment of the chiropractor taping a section of my ribs to put some of the pressure off my muscles or some such thing. I have to keep the tape on for three days.
When I asked him what I had done to myself, he didn't tell me, he just said it was almost 100% sure that it was caused by my coughing fit on Thursday. I told my mom this and she called him for me to find out. She told me what was wrong in the theater last night.
Apparently I have managed to stretch and dislocate the cartilage between a few of my ribs.
I didn't even know that was possible. Eeeeeew.
Anyhoo, ouch, is pretty much all I have to say.
Perhaps I will be better by my graduation party on the 31st?
