Thanks guys. This past week has been tough. I had a problem with the meds making me sick so I stopped taking them the day before yesterday until I could get back to the doctor. There was a six or seven hour window where I had no pain relief at all and it gave me a good idea of just how messed up I am. It hurt constantly, and I think that besides the two broken ribs every rib on my right side is bruised. It hurt to even touch the front of the right side of my ribcage.
It's hard to say whether I was lucky or unlucky. I think I'll go with lucky because it could have been a lot worse. I'm back on my meds now and doing much better, but I still can't cough or even blow my nose. It's just going to take some time.
