Just a rib

So I have been doing amazing. Leaving opioids was the best thing I have ever done. Taking that leap of faith has paid wayy off. I feel amazing and free. I have been going dancing something I love to do and although I can't dance as long and as much as I used to, I still can and that is good enough for me. So getting on with the story, last Sunday I cracked my back left rib. Just a little it barely hurt, I am guessing probably just a little hairline or stress fracture, so well what do I go and do? I went dancing again a week later and Tuesday night I really cracked it. It snapped and the pain shot up and diagonal and straight down. It was thankfully already close to the end of the night, but man do I know how to hurt myself or what? I have no one to blame nor can I complain because I should have known better. I knew my rib was weak and I know how the dance steps go. Ooh well. A good 6 weeks no dancing and a good 2 weeks before it's tolerable. My Nanies (grandma) has been doing salt water treatments on my rib and it has actually really helped. I feel more mobility, not much more it is broken, but I am able to turn in bed with a little less effort, etc. I am thankful that it was just a rib.

Drug Free

...is the way to be. I am completely detoxed and off of opioids. It feels so great, so freeing. I feel alive and my body is taking charge and finding its own sleep pattern. I am sleepy by 10 and in bed by 10:30pm. I wake up around 7-8. It really trips me out, because I have always been one to sleep. Sleep until the very last minute and now my body tells me no, wake up, get up. I am so glad that I took the leap of faith and that my body responded so well. I am feeling things that I have not felt or that I numbed with pain killers; such as cracking, stiffness, and just feeling my bones. Feeling the weakness. Other than really feeling that the pain is really nonexistent. I have a few pains every now and then, but nothing that I cannot handle. I have not missed one day of my externship since I have detoxed. I feel so great. I thank God for giving me the strength and the mind power to overcome.
