Sick Bay (Or what ails you)

[magpie_marty]

Went to the bathroom 3 weeks ago,did not put the bedroom light on,
Walking back to bed I tripped on a shoe and landed on a glass bedside table.
End result very badly bruised ribs,not sure if there broken as I can inhale and exhale without pain.
Coughing causes pain and it seems worse in the morning after I wake up.
This is soon my third week just wondering if anyone has had a rib injury and a time line for recovery?
Week one was tough,but week two worse in terms of pain.
Regards,
Marty

4-6 weeks and you will be right as rain.

How big is the bruised area?

Oh my guess would be 150 mm wide and maybe 50 mm long on day two.
It's slowly fading as is the pain.

Nasty one.

A couple weeks ago, thought I had a cold, but as time went on, I realised it was bronchitis, not pleasant. But the cough has more or less gone.
I reckon the change in weather didn't help

Get yourself some of these;

Because.....

When you walk under Nest Protect at night, it will light your way. You can choose different light levels or turn Pathlight off entirely in the app

I swear by them.

It really sucks and makes you second guess yourself all the time.

Sending strength and good thoughts.

Cheers mate.
They only took 1/4 out last week after keeping me here for almost a week to try and shrink it.
Find out everything tomorrow I hope. Then 3 hours drive back home. Thankfully workmates are coming to get me as the Mrs won’t drive down here and the friggin trains are off for a month!
