In your heart you plan your life. But the Lord decides where your steps will take you. Proverbs 16:9

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
for love and friends,
For everything
Thy goodness sends.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

what a long strange trip it's been

Well, I never do manage to make it through the month of February without getting sick. Each year I end up getting some fun and exciting virus. Well, this year was no different. I got some sort of fun cold bug that had me coughing up a storm for about 3 weeks before I finally went to the doctor. His conclusion/end result was a sinus infection/antiobiotic for treatment. Well, that did help my nasty cough to subside for the most part. However, all of those days of hard coughing/hacking/sneezing/etc...left me with very sore ribs (as you know if you have read my other illness posts). My ribs have been hurting and very sore for about a week now. I couldn't take the rib pain anymore and went to the doctor. I have a broken rib! Go figure! Such fun! I love flu season (joke). Who knew...I thought only football or hockey players got broken ribs! Honestly...this is ridiculous...again - I ask - how long until Hawaii?! Not soon enough...

So, take my advice: next time you have a bad cough that lasts a while - get some prescription cough suppressant - even if it makes you sleepy. Better that than a broken rib.

ugh...
