Rib pain Update.

 Well ladies I went to the doctor concearning my pain I have been having lately, and guess what more terrific news!!


It seems after getting riddled by radioactive rays yesterday that it turns out I have no fractures in my ribs. There where however some very interesting spots where evidentally I have had fractures in my ribs in the past that I was oblivious to.


Anyway it was determined that my pain can not be a muscle pull seeing how the pain is under the ribs and it is not broken ribs. So come Tuesday I have to get a CT done of my whole midsection. He wants to look at my spleen, stomach, liver, large intestines. 


You see since I have Ehlors Danlos syndrome type 3, the doctor wants to check me for type 4 as well which is a nasty animal all to its self.  It seems that type 4 attacks the membrane that makes up your organs instead of attacking the bone as in type 3. He wants to give me a good look over to see whats going on.


Knowing my luck the way I do, I will probably be diagnosed with some weird rare disease that noone has ever heard of and there is no way to fix it, or they will tell me I have to have something removed. Who knows all I can say that it is par for the course. I am so disgusted with my body right now that I would be willing to trade it for a healthy 60 year old body anyday.


All I want out of life is to be able to grow old and be healthy  enough to enjoy my sons childhood and teen years.  After my son has grown up and has a family of his own I can kill over happy with the knowledge that I gave him a wonderful childhood. It seems however the way things are going now I am going to be freakin broken down beyond the point of repair by the time he reaches those enjoyable years of playing baseball and football with me out in the yard.  The way things are going I am probably going to have to sit and watch from a chair as he plays by himself =(.

Dunae, SLAP!!!!! Now snap out this right now and begin having some positive thoughts. I will not except this negative thinking from you. You will grow old and see your sons grow up with girlfriends, wives, children etc. Now cool it and do what you usually do, and I do not mean sitting there feeling sorry for yourself and thinking all kinds of stupid thoughts. Knock it off. Understood???

You will be ok and you will have plenty of joy and laughter in your life and then I could turn around and say, Hey I told you so!!!
