exsequarApparently the answer to the chest pain mystery is C) None of the above (at least in terms of the guesses various people gave me, which included pneumonia, heartburn, and a bruised/strained bone or muscle). The answer is (drum roll please)... osteochondritis. Err, yeah. In layman's terms, that's an inflammation of the cartilege right where the two halves of the ribcage meet under the sternum, so when I breathed in and they moved together it really hurt. She said that it will go away of its own accord in a few days, and in the meantime to take ibuprofen to get the swelling down, and also not to focus too much on my breathing because that makes me breathe unnaturally and feel short of breath. It's apparently a strangely common condition for 20-somethings, which she doesn't quite understand.
I'm quite relieved, I must say! I took an Advil and feel much better now. Phew!
It's SO GORGEOUS here. Sunny and probably in the upper 60s - low 70s. Guhhhh so beautiful. And of course I have to sit inside and study D: D:
Amusingly, the girl sitting next to me in the computer lab just looked up Panic's But It's Better If You Do on youtube *g*
On a not so fun note, I called the laptop repair people and apparently they're trying to recover my data but 'it's not looking good' D: D: D: I just want my damn lab report! And my Ireland photos! *sniffles* The good news though is that the new hard drive will be covered by my warranty, so the only possible cost to me will be the data recovery.
By the way, Niall = most preciousest ever (he's wearing flowery board shorts today and I made so much fun of hm for looking like a surfer, hee) and Dara = funny and darling and as big of a text whore as I am, and James = a total sweetheart who met me at the clinic so i wouldn't be alone. I ♥ my boys!! (Even when they are being confusing and messing with my head.)
Well I should go get things accomplished and stop rambling into the ether. <333
