If you can breathe without pain right now, be happy
Unsurprisingly, after two weeks of nonstop coughing day and night, I've pulled(?) something in my chest. (Unless I snapped a rib, which is possible to do from coughing, but I don't think I did.) This morning it only hurt when I coughed ("only", though I'm still coughing a lot). Tonight it's every time I inhale.
I sneezed three times this afternoon and thought I was going to die from the pain.
Even blowing my nose makes my chest hurt. I'm trying so hard not to cough, but the tickle builds and builds until I can't resist it anymore. Ow ow ow. I took my bottle of painkillers (over the counter stuff) to Alaska with me, and the bottle opened in my backpack so I had to throw it away, and I hadn't replaced it yet. Sure do wish I had saved some of the ones that were rolling around in the open, I'd happily take some now.
And in sick cat news: Ellie took her first dose of liquid medicine surprisingly well, though half of tonight's went on her cheek instead. Ugh. The blood tests for this cost about $150, so I don't want her to miss any doses and for us to have to go through this again...

Mine's in the front, maybe a hand's width (the shorter direction) from my breastbone. If it were on the left side instead of the right, I would be a lot more worried about a heart attack-type thing (though that the pain came only when I coughed made it pretty clear it was related to that). It feels like muscle pain, not deep in like my lungs hurt or something.
