The pain in my chest was so bad today, I finally went to urgent care. They took X-rays. Everything looked good. The doctor said worse case scenario is that I have a hairline fractured rib. But unless they get the exact right angle, it wouldn't show up in the X-ray. More than likely it is a strained ligament. He gave me some pain medication and muscle relaxants. I guess I'll bow out of my 5k Saturday. Hopefully I'll be going again in a couple of weeks.

Burt, hope you have a quick recovery. Cheer up.

From Becca on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 18:04:27

It's great that everything in the x-rays looked good, but I know it's frustrating to not know what exactly the trouble is. Hope you'll be feeling much better soon.

From Eric Day on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 13:53:57

Burt, how are you doing?

From Burt on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 14:17:20

Thanks guys. I'm doing better today. He gave me a shot of something in my arm yesterday. The pain went away. I haven't got my prescriptions filled, but the pain is bearable today. So I'll take it easy for about a week and see where I am.

From Camille on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 22:21:12

I'm glad it isn't anythink more serious. I'm sorry you won't be able to make your race on Saturday. I know how excited you were about it.

From marion on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 22:26:36

Did you get beat up? Did Lucia fly out and give you a pounding for the look a likes from last week ? ;) I must have missed something.

I broke ribs a few years back, and boy do they hurt! Hang tough man! You'll be healed before you know it!

From Burt on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 12:16:15

Why haven't I done Marion's lookalike yet? I better get on that!

From marion on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 12:19:34

Yikes! Should I be afraid? How is the rib?

From Burt on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 12:21:18

It still hurts if I move just right. So I'm trying to take it easy. I'm still not taking any pain medication. I'm too much of a man. No pain - no gain.

From marion on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 12:25:06

The pain meds they gave me made me throw-up! Talk about a nightmare. Broken ribs, pneumonia and to top it off, violent barfing! I chose to just hold really still. Did I mention I was nursing a baby too- and still up all night with the baby! Oh baby, good times!

From Camille on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 12:27:20

Goodness Marion. That sounds awful.

Burt... I have a response about you being too much of a man... but I will use my self control, for the momment Totally joking!

From Eric Day on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 12:37:51

Asi son los machos !!!!

From Kelli on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 18:24:22

HEAL FAST!!!!

From Michelle N. on Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 11:31:43

Man, I don't blog for a few weeks and everyone falls apart. You're hurt, Camille is radioactive...Get well soon.

From Mary Ann Schauerhame on Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 20:35:10

Yes, I will love my children even if they aren't fast runners! I love my brothers and sisters and all my relatives and hardly any of them are runners!

From Burt on Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 21:15:46

Mary - That is wonderful news. But isn't calling the rest of your family slowpokes a slap in the face? ** Just giving you a hard time :) **

From Mary Ann Schauerhame on Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 22:29:38

I'm glad you were just joking around! I just would like someone fast to train with or someone who has a passion for running so we have something exciting in common.

From Camille on Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 18:21:18

Burt - How is the rib feeling? Any better?

From Burt on Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 18:27:58

Let's just say, now I know how Adam felt. God took a rib from his side and from then on, he had a constant pain in the neck.

Just kidding. It's starting to feel better. Thanks for asking.

From Camille on Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 18:29:35

LOL... dork! I just wanted to make sure the team captain is going to be able to participate in the big event.

From Kelli on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 10:46:57

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

From Burt on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 12:26:13

Thanks, Kelli. Same to you. And thanks for getting me on the Hot Discussion board.

From Lucia on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 12:49:14

Merry Christmas Burt! I hope Santa brings you some ribs! :)

From Mary Ann Schauerhame on Sat, Dec 27, 2008 at 20:02:51

Thanks! Happy Holidays!

From Camille on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 10:19:23

Burt... you are on the Hot Discussions board. You totally rock!

From Lucia on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 10:51:56

Yeah, there are two ways to get on the hot discussions: doing really well on a race, or being injured... And there's only one way Burt can get in there, as we all know...

From Camille on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 11:32:18

Lucia - you are awesome!

From MARION on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 11:50:00

Burt... YOU WON A RACE???? Rock on dude! ;)

From Burt on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 13:11:46

Is that so hard to believe?

From MARION on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 13:37:45

Not at all! You kicked the Bishops trash most recently, if I recall! ;)
