the Chest Wall

It turns out that you have one. A chest wall that is. Mine is bruised and swollen right over my heart. The inflammation alternately makes my left arm go numb. Quite a fun injury to be confused by. At least after visiting the doctor yesterday I don’t have to worry that I am experiencing a week long heart attack. The good news is that there is absolutely nothing that can be done to make it heal faster, and on its own I should get to experience the joys of pain on every breath I take for approximately 4 to 6 weeks, shipping included.

p.s. I asked the nurse after she took my blood pressure. 122/60, whatever that means.
