I think I really need that X-ray

I don't quite know how to describe this, but there is a lump that sits slightly above my left costal margin.

It is only slightly tender, and does not really stop me from breathing or coughing up my internal organs.

I do recall falling on that side when I flew off the bike.

It feels like it's part of my rib cage - probably the 10th rib - I can feel the outline of the rib and the intercostal spaces.

It is a curiosity indeed.

Like a true help-deferring patient I have decided that it is nothing to be overly worried about, and that if it doesn't go away in a week, I shall go to see someone about it. Ah, temporalising.

Somehow I have the feeling that this is probably a bad choice.

Oh well.

I'll keep you updated.
