An amazing thing about getting older is that you can seriously injury yourself and not even know now. Did I fall or get run over by a truck? No. Did I somehow manage to pull an intercostal muscle or bruise a rib? Apparently yes. Sitting, laying, standing, or breathing hurts. But why?!?!

I have been excruciatingly laid up for months at various points in my life since I turned 30 after doing such reckless things as laying on my deck, laying in my bed, and turning on a kitchen faucet πŸ˜‚ hope you feel better soon πŸ™

I was warned that getting old hurts. But no one told me that petting a kitty or laying down in bed would cause untold amounts of pain! 😭

😬 hang in there that's a real rough one...I did the same lifting weights a couple years ago and it was pure hell for a few weeks.

Unfortunately I'm not a stranger to what this means. But dammit, I'd love a good reason like when I was younger and it was rock climbing or industrial accidents! Not wanting to accept that it can happen because "I laid down in bed"!!!

If I spend too much time in a car while traveling, I can barely move for days. I so love getting old. 🀣

the greatest insult is injuring yourself in your sleep. i've learned the hard way to stop whatever i'm doing every couple hours and stretch
