The Season Is Over

This morning, I couldn't even breathe. Take a deep breath, and the sharp pain caused chest spasm and contraction. I swallowed naproxen and waiting for pain to subside so that I can breathe again. 

I didn't count on the problem getting worse. I thought I could ski for the rest of the season with discomfort. But the skiing yesterday must've irritated the injury and inflamed the site overnight despite sleeping well with minimal pain. It's one of those pains that takes your  breath away.  I think it's safe to say that the season is over. When the pain subsides, I'll be driving east to NYC.

(It's been 30 minutes and Naproxen is already working; I can now breathe a little deeper).
