Hey, all, not to worry

I may not be around much for a few days anyways.  I broke that stupid rib again, on the bottom right.  Apparently it did not heal right and when I reached to pick something up, the sudden movement brought that telltale crack.  It's hard for me to sit up for any length of time so I can't be on here much.  I will be fine, just need to ice it and let it heal.  I worked yesterday, within an hour of it happening and I did fine but the pain got worse and worse as the day went on and last night was NOT fun.  In any event, I seriously do not want anyone to worry.  I will be back when I can and I am thinking of all of you.  My quit is absolutely solid...now if my stupid bones were, I would be on "easy street."

Love to all.

Ellen
