    I hope no one made you laugh with their jokes. With 3 broken ribs, you would not not be laughing very long.

    A bumper block?

    Take it easy. Did ya get some good pain meds out of it?

    Still, I try to get here at least once per day; and sometimes it is more.

    I will continue to stay in touch as often as possible.
    Broke three ribs two months ago. A solid five weeks before the pain was gone. Potential sneezes were the worst for me. Grab those ribs and hope for the best. Best wishes for quick healing!
