Not a very good day, Kathy. Pulled or tore a muscle in my right side - between ribs - last Thursday or so. Over the succeeding days it has gotten progressively more painful.
This morning I woke up in severe pain - somewhat fortuitously, I had a Dr's. appointment this morning for pre-op clearance for a minor procedure I'm having next week. The Dr. examined me and determined that it was indeed a muscle pull or tear and put me on strong painkillers (Tramadol). They are providing some relief, although they tend to wear out pretty quickly.
I did not make it in to the office today and I cancelled my PT scheduled for this evening.
I will go in tomorrow regardless of how I feel - can't afford to miss any work at this time. Hopefully, the painkillers will provide enough relief to enable me to do my job.

Oh, no...can’t seem to get all of your in good shape at the same time. That kind of pain is not fun AT ALL! No matter what you do, it HURTS!
Hope the meds help you get through the day. Be careful driving!!!
It sure would be nice if they let you work from home.
