Broke my ribs again

[waynedear]

First time around 1999, 2 at the front trying to hurdle a 5 bar gate.
Second time on Saturday night after a long in depth conversation with Jim Beam.
No idea how I fell backwards into the plant pots, I'm pretty sure though that it was one of the solid wooden pot stands that did the damage.
Snapped clean bottom floating rib.
bked off my wife, then my boss when I rang her, then the writer/director of the play I'm in as it's dress rehearsal day today.
Only the dog still speaking to me.
Can't get in the car, can't get on my bike, can't go fishing...... 'Kin Ell.

‘orrible, I agree! Hope it’s a swift recovery. Bust mine a few years back when I was doored on the bike. Can’t decide what was worse; the the coughing brought on by the inevitable chest infection, the doc squeezing my ribcage when things didn’t seem to be progressing, or returning to work and instantly clattering my ribs against the edge of the desk. Fun, fun, fun!

I think I've just broken/cracked/bruised mine again, I fell bodily, ribcage first into the corner of an oak table at the weekend. It's very helpful at the moment that I have a tickly cough as well . So painful to stand up out of a chair, get out of a car, sleep, even have a sodding poo and generally just breathe!
