Primary school biology lesson #1

The whole rib experience is taking a slightly more worrying, from my perspective anyway, turn.  I am now starting to find myself breathless, even after the shortest of walks, which ordinarily wouldn’t register on my radar, but considering I am doing karate three times a week and each of those is about 2 hours long – I really shouldn’t be THAT breathless!

Quick visit to the local quack, only for her to come up with this little nugget of wisdom;

Breathing is good for you, you need to keep breathing.

There was some other gubbin’s about needing to take deeper breaths and possible pneumonia if I didn’t breathe properly, but that particular phrase stuck in my mind!  I think she figured out I wasn’t hugely impressed by the idiots guide to medicine she had just dispensed, as she had the good grace to look embarrassed and slowly go quiet.

I smiled; she was young and fairly pretty looking after all..

    You can’t knock the advice mate, it’s completely correct and offers no chance of legal reprisal from you.

    It’s probably just a virus, paracetamol and plenty of fluids would be my advice.
