I just got off the telephone with the collegiate swimmer from the case report linked to the right: Slipping Rib Syndrome in a Collegiate Swimmer: A Case Report. She had a lot of insight and advice to offer me, and I shall use it. If there’s one thing I’ve learned during all this, and trust me, I’ve learned ALOT, it’s that in situations like this, it’s important to reach out to others, to network and build a framework for support. I’ve met several people now, whose insight, advice and words of kindness and encouragement have helped me more than just about any doctor has so far.
That said, I had a very emotional weekend, as I didn’t realize how much frustration and anger I had bottled up, until I spoke with a friend whose recovering from SRS Surgery. I can’t begin to tell you how helpful she’s been to me…She deserves a fast, painless recovery.
So anyway, I had to stand for about 3 hours today and my flank is almost throbbing. I have therapy scheduled tomorrow, so hopefully I can get some relief. I also plan on sitting down with my Chiropractor soon, to formulate a “Plan B,” should I need it.
