Break in the Weather

I went to bed last night with severe pain in my sternum which caused me to be balled up in the fetal position most of the night. Surprisingly, I woke up this morning relatively pain free and stayed that way for almost the entire day. Some shoulder (4) and neck (3.5) stiffness affected me late in the evening, but nothing major.

With a complete 180 from last night, my sternum/chest (3) actually felt good today and I haven't taken anything for the pain. Yes, the groin (5) and tailbone (5) pain will always be there to some degree, but I didn't do much to activate either one of them.

Tomorrow I get my splint off and I'm happy to get into a walking boot and off the crutches.

I guess the only real negative is the psoriasis that continues to litter my backside and thighs. I guess it's induced by all of the stress that I've been under of late. I almost forgot that I still have to address my high blood pressure, so I'll have to make an appointment tomorrow with the doctor for that.
