When I (or an earlier incarnation of me) made the "Things you don't need to know", my intention was to create a thread for trivial knowledge. Not personal things. I'm fully aware that I (or another earlier incarnation of me) have broken those intentions. But not anymore. Hence this thread.
I've told you about my new supercomputer, which I've now put to use. It works very well. But while preparing the new one, I had to move the old one, and even pick some parts from it. So I did, but due to incompetence and a somewhat crowded den, I managed to loose my grip on gravity and fell upon the olde machine. The major affected body part was my chest. So….
I've got myself a rib fracture. I haven't been to a doctor with it, apart from myself, and have not had an xtray of my chest, as the clinical findings are straight from the textbooks, And since I'm not short of breath, my lungs inside the chest wall are not punctured. So there's not much to do about it, the neighbouring ribs provide enough stability so it will grow just fine.
But its painful. And pain hurts.
So far it seems that ibuprophene or similar drugs can handle it, I hope I won't need stronger painkillers. That depends on my breathing - long time shallow breathing due to pain is not particularly healthy.
