Did you know you use your ribs when you pee? How about when you reach up to grab something from a kitchen cabinet? Or when you’re getting out of the car? Yes, this week, I found out all the ways we use our ribs, because I inflamed one of mine from coughing so hard from having influenza a. And I’m not joking when I say it’s been one of if not the most painful experience of my entire life. I still do not feel back to normal and while I know this shouldn’t be my priority, I wonder at the strength I am losing each day in my core that is already not that strong to begin with.
I wish I had content more riveting to bring you this week however I’ve hardly moved from my horizontal position on the couch watching reruns of Friends and Curb Your Enthusiasm because even reading is too hard (holding up a book? also uses your ribs). So unfortunately you’re being served a listicle of thoughts I’ve had this week for your own pondering and response in the comments if you feel like it. Maybe use them as conversation starters next time you’re on a date.
