I refer you to my entry from Thursday, in which I had sudden and inexplicable stomach pain.  Today I have “stomach pain” too, but it feels completely different.  Actually it feels more like muscle pain tham for instance gut pain, while the pain on Thursday felt a lot like gut pain, only much higher up and hitting a larger area at once (especially in the beginning).

I had a more local pain above the navel yesterday, but that too felt more like muscle pain even though it was in the exact spot where I use to feel stomach pain from too much acid.  I thought it was perhaps because my doctor prodded me there the night before.  (Then again I also had a bad flare of haemorrhoids, and he did not prod me there. So who knows.)

Today the area that hurts is much larger, and feels sore as if I got punched in my lower stomach. Which actually to some small degree happened today when I was handmowing the lawn. I suddenly ran into a small hole in the lawn and ran into the handle of the mower, but not at high speed luckily.  Those things can be dangerous!  But when they don’t kill you, they make you stronger. At my age, that is a pretty compelling excuse. Or so I thought.

Anyway, I don’t have fever and the pain is like most of them, an inconvenience only.  So unlike something new happens, I will mostly ignore it.  It is soon bedtime anyway. I slept for like 9 hours last night, but that was only barely enough to pay off the sleep debt from Thursday when I spent much of the night visiting the ER instead of my bed.
