after waking up at 4am and stumbling about looking for painkillers, i woke up every time i rolled over. so when boy's alarm went off at 8:30, i asked him to call the doctor.

he diagnosed costochronditis. my chest sounds clean, thankfully--no sign of pericarditis, pleurisy, pneumonia, asthmatic wheezing, etc. he has no clue why i've got it right now, since i've not had a lot of coughing/sneezing, nor have i been ill. it might be related to something my body is fighting bacterial/viral in nature, it might not. he gave me something stronger than naproxen, but said i can take naproxen on top of it to sleep, if i need the extra relief. he told me to ice my sternum and, if that doesn't help, try heat.

boy drove me to/from the doctor. i went to CVS to fill my prescription and had a piece of pizza at Christian's while i was waiting. i'm home now and my cramps (menstrual--at least my period waited til *after* the wedding) have hit.

i still want to go see Hoven Droven... we might leave at 4 and catch most of their set. i'm not feeling up to leaving, but i desperately want to see them. they don't come to the US that often.

sadness

*sigh*

i think we're staying home, after all.

inflamed rib cartilage isn't terribly serious, it's just damn painful. i can safely do things, but at what cost to my emotional well-being?

i desperately want to see Hoven Droven. i love nordic music. i think this will have to fall by the wayside, though. there's a live webcast, which we can always watch.

the diclofenac the doctor gave me isn't helping much, either. riding in the car for an hour and a half,jumping on the metro, and walking to the kennedy center would likely make me rather uncomfortable.

*sigh*

maybe i should think about going up in *two* weeks for Old Blind Dogs... Scottish ceilidh music. i might be feeling better, so i wouldn't need to rely on boy for a ride, but could just come up to DC for the day, see a couple exhibits, see the band, have dinner, etc. Anyone up for that?
