This morning in bed I thought (indeed I am sure) I felt a distinct click over my painful rib on inspiration so I really think the bone itself has been injured. On the whole the pain was not so bad today though bad enough. I saw a few cases walking+ then motored to Hospital, Linglie + Riverside Mill, Forest Road, Buccleuch Road, Fairnilee Cottages, Caddonfoot, Ettrick Road + Kilncroft + then got a message to Barrie, Newarkburn + motored there.1 Helen2 went to Edinburgh till Monday.
