30 Weeks

I'll start these chalkboards again...at some point. Remember how I was sick those last two weeks? Well, I finally went to the doctor when my left side (lungs/ribs) started giving me some major pain every time I coughed (which was 562 million times a day) She put me on an antibiotic but said my lungs were clear. I think somewhere along the line, I've injured my ribs. Like I can feel them popping if that makes sense. The most excruciating pain ever! I can't lean on my left side, laugh, definitely can't cough or sneeze, SLEEP on that side...it's so annoying. But hopefully this fixes itself soon. I'm over the sore ribs.
