There was constant dull pain and the rib was extremely painful to touch. This time, the pain was intense and in the mirror, I could see the lower portion of my left ribcage was distended and swollen. Usually, it just slides around a little, only partially dislocating. It’s called slipping rib syndrome and is fairly common among people with my condition, but I’d never had the rib dislocate quite like this. I’d been dealing with this same rib for nine months. Never mind that I’m a 40-year-old woman who doesn’t know how to curl her hair, but that’s an entirely different matter. The stay-at-home order was in its third or so week and I’d determined I would finally learn how to curl my hair with a straight iron. I was curling my hair when I dislocated a rib on the lower left side of my ribcage.
