Who needs ribs?

Apparently the left side of my face is all puffed up.



Strangely enough that corresponds to how much worse the left side of my rib cage that feels kicked in with steel-toed boots. It's typically the right that is worse, the pectus excavatum is a lot worse on that side, so I'm not sure what wreaked this havoc in the left. The world may never know. Hopefully though we'll figure a better way to breathe and yes it must be something short of ventilatory support because I am NOT going that route again, thank you very much. It took 2 years to get then-insurance to overturn their denial of my two bouts with CPR.



Their excuse?



I didn't have my codes and CPR preapproved.
