accident ?
So as revealed in this view of my thoracic cavity, the 5th rib is fractured. A strange accident, but nothing is an accident. Lessons from medical science - I really do look like this, under the layers, a bleached white skeleton, now with a brand new break.
The ribs cradle several organs, a beautiful structure, like an open cage. The 5th rib is a "true" one, connected to the sternum. Not "false" or "floating" like some other ribs. Number 5 also has biblical references. Someone smote someone else just under it - he died. Adam might have gifted Eve his 5th rib - one close to his heart. Medical maps, biblical babbling. What does it mean to me, why did it happen?
Not watching out for myself I think - my body temple, my heart. Doc says it will take 4-6 weeks to heal. Think I am at week 1-1/2. Radiology tech tells me I have "pretty ribs". Oh shucks, bet he says that to all the ladies.
