I smashed both sides of my ribs snowboarding at Mt. Baker MLK weekend. I haven't been able to sleep lying down, and coughing, sneezing and driving hurt like hell. Don't get me started with hiccups, which is like a form of torture. I was getting impatient because the pain was still present after a week. I guess it'll be a few more weeks of sharp pain and discomfort before I get some relief. Good to know that healing will take while. I smashed both sides of my ribs snowboarding at Mt.
