Domino Effect

******
******



Last night the pressure in my chest was disquieting. Not that I am complaining, screaming, groaning or kvetching!

It was followed up with heartburn. Who knew plain baked sweet-potatoes could cause such burn?

Then the dry cough starts. Irritating.

This triggers a broad ache through the upper chest wall that traverses the clavicle and tracheal areas.                   Every inch of me wants in the fun.

This then starts a deeper, but still dry, cough. Lung, anyone?

The "cherry" is, what can only be described, as a splintering pain in my chest wall.
                             Think, stomping onto a glass figurine with a lumberjack boot.

The cycle is topped off with stabbing pain up underneath my right rib cage. Because as the song goes...it is all connected.

Sigh....some days are indeed better than others. Today was not that day.

  1. TC, hope tomorrow is better than today. I wish I could just put the right words together to say something that would make you feel better. I wish I could take this thing away for you.

    1. Dee - at times we view each new day as a new opportunity. I am fortunate, I get to take each hour as a new opportunity. I never know what it is going to bring. This past hour has been a good one.
