Just needed to vent this morning.
I broke 3 ribs a week and a half ago slipping on the ice and any progress I thought I was making was thrown out the window last night while watching the Super Bowl when I sneezed. I thought coughing suck with broken ribs but sneezing took it to a whole other level. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated. Now excuse me while I take some Oxycodone.

Keep a pillow close to put there when you feel a cough or sneeze coming on.

I only broke one in November on a bike fall. It is not fun for 2 months.
