About ten days ago, I took a single Aleve (over the counter) pain pill for a foot ache.
I'd never taken this stuff before and it turns out it has naproxin (sp)......something I'm apparently very allergic to.
I became covered in huge hives and was very itchy. Doctor gave me a cortisone shot along with steroid meds to relieve the symptoms. I was sort of itchy but tolerable.
On the last day of my meds, I went indoor karting at GPNY with friends from the VRG and the Ferrari Owner's Club. It was great fun until the last session when a guy who had been way too aggressive all day thumped we hard in a turn. The crash caused pretty bad pain in my right side.
By the next day, I was in agony.....plus now that I'd finished my meds, the itchy hives had returned with a vengeance.
I went back to doctor and he confirmed what I'd guessed: broken rib.
He also gave me another shot and a month supply of stronger meds. It has helped, but not that much. It's real hard to sleep, especially with the rib (which there's really no "fix" for except time).
So I'm pretty miserable.
But.........
Yesterday, my younger daughter gave birth to twins! Boy and girl. My older daughter gave birth 12 weeks ago to her second, so in the scope of 3 months I've gone from one to four grandchildren.
Delivery went fine and all are well.
And I'm happy to report that both my sons in law have good jobs so these new additions won't create any difficult financial burdens either.
So all is great and despite the difficult previous days, I am counting my blessings!
Now I just can't wait for my rib to stop hurting and these itchy hives to fully go away. Hopefully I'll be in better form to really enjoy these kids by next week.
