Goodness gracious be careful.. Hope the pain eases soon for you. I never done that as close I ever came was when I busted my arse pretty good with some in-floor lids that I left in the open position.. Crawling around in the dark, all of the sudden where did the floor go. In my case I had lights everywhere, spreader, cockpit, under gunnel lights even lights in the compartments that tripped me up. Had any been on I could have averted the entire face plant into the leaning post scenario.. Stupid me..

Dang Smoke that makes MY ribs hurt just hearing it. Hope it gets better real soon. If it makes you feel any better, a couple months ago I fell off my daughter's electric scooter going .5 mph and face planted into concrete. On top of that my right kneecap did too. Pretty sure it fractured it but it doesn't hurt any more. I'm also guilty of stupidity!

When I got hit by a peterbuilt and got 6 broken ribs, I was taking both Oxycontin and percoset. Still hurt. Couldn't watch anything funny as I couldn't laugh. Had to do the dreaded breathing machine thing to keep my lungs open.
It sucked for a long time, but it did get better and we are alive. Sorry for your pain. rkc

Get good pain meds. I have 3 friends who have each developed Pneumonia after breaking thier ribs. You don't breath deeply or cough so all the fluid builds up deep in your lungs causing the infection.
Sorry to hear about your misshap. I hope you get well soon.

Sorry for you Smoke, pay close attention to what these guys say about the breathing. Had a couple broke myself once. Hurt like a biatch just to breath the first week.
Good luck I hope you heal fast

When I had my motorcycle accident several years ago I broke 5 ribs along with several other bones. Like was said, it hurts to laugh.... but the absolute worse is when you have to sneeze. Try to avoid that at all costs!! Breath as deeply as you can... work thru the pain and force yourself to inhale deeply. The breathing machine is your friend... trust in the machine...
