How am I?

My brain is feeling a good bit better, and I should be myself again in a day or two. The ribs are terribly painful. Things like going to bed, getting up in the morning and turning round during the night are a real effort. I'm getting a bit congested, I suppose from coughing being so painful. The ribs are definitely the worst thing at the moment. I'm coming out in a nice bruise on my thigh, so I think I must have hit that too when I went down.
On Monday I'd intended to do the lessons as normal, before going to see my friend from uni. I'd been especially looking forward to the latter. Until now mobility was a problem for me, and now my friend has got a very heavy workload, so isn't free very often. I feel very disappointed about not being able to go.
On Monday morning I hadn't been to the shops yet to put some credit on my phone. I needed to let people know I wouldn't be around, so went up to the library to use the computers. I felt ill while I was there, and the staff were very good to me. I don't know how I made it there or back. I did thank the staff when I was there yesterday afternoon.
From now on, what I will be very careful of is light. Sharp contrasts in light and flashing, or rapidly moving images have always made me feel a bit odd, and I always look away. The light seemed odd when I got up first thing on Monday. I didn't feel like I was quite here.
