Bus People: July 13th

I've taken a long break from Bus People, mostly because I haven't been riding the bus much, but I'm hoping to get back into my regular Bus People routine. Enjoy this gem.

Favorite movie clip of the day

Tapioca

I just ate 2 and they tasted great.

Swimming and fireworks

Let's face it, Violette was the star of the weekend. We're all just serfs in her kingdom.

Stepped on hot concrete...

A tribute to MJ (and yes, I had to blur out some of the photo...you never know who is looking at the blog)

No idea what's going on here...

Watching fireworks.

So it's not just baby feet

Had my regular appointment with the doctor today (30 weeks) and we discussed the annoying and constant pain in my left rib I've been having for a couple of months. Apparently it is likely that I have something called costochondritis and we can't treat it with meds during the pregnancy. So I can get pain meds if I want them, but I've opted not to for now. May change my mind later on. My blood work also showed that I'm anemic. Therefore, I'm on iron pills starting today as well as a steady diet of red meat enforced by Scott.

Costochondritis causes pain and tenderness in the locations where your ribs attach to your breastbone (costosternal joints). Often the pain is sharp, though it can also feel like a dull, gnawing pain. Pain associated with costochondritis occurs most often on the left side of your breastbone, though it can occur on either side of your chest.

Other costochondritis symptoms may include:

Pain when taking deep breaths

Pain when coughing

Difficulty breathing

That about sums it up...
