Vince's Journey

It's been 10 days since I broke my rib and it still hurts quite a bit. I've heard from many people that it could take a while before the pain eases. I thought I had turned the corner over the weekend, I slept pretty well Saturday night. Unfortunately, I must have tweaked something yesterday because it's giving me a lot of discomfort today. I was supposed to go down to the Ohio River to spend the night with some of the brother-in-laws but since I can't golf and it hurts to do just about everything, I think I'll just take it easy at home tonight.

On Thursday, I'll get CT scans again. Hopefully everything will continue to be clean. Obviously I get a bit anxious when its time for the scans. I don't seem to ache as much as I did over the summer (except for my ribs, of course) so hopefully thats a good sign. Maybe the effects of the treatments are wearing off. I'll have my follow-up appointment to go over the scan results with Dr. Leming on October 3.

The Buckeyes and Bengals are both off to great starts! Great to see both teams doing so well. I would like to see the 6th grade team I coach turn things around - we just can't seem to mount a threat offensively. We're 1-4 right now and need to win out to have a winning season. I feel bad for the boys, we're trying but we can't seem to get over the hump. A win this weekend would certainly be nice.

That's all for now. hope all is well with all of you. I'll keep you posted on everything. In the meantime, if anyone knows of any way to easethe pain of broken ribs, let me know!!! Talk to you soon....
