Oh dear me. This is awful, so very painful and hard to breath deeply. Done it myself so I'm very sympathetic. Take it easy, for 6 weeks :(

Oh grief! Painful, I did the same just over a year ago, tho' not coughing but a nasty fall.

Hope you are getting pain management Kotc . . I had codeine phosphate to help me. Getting into a comfy position to sleep is a nightmare, yet alone turning over.

Try and get some exercise eh! I know, difficult, but it will speed recovery. Poor you x x x

Oh King! That must be very painful. I hope the coughing has subsided a bit or you are going to be in agony. You be very careful. I am nursing his Lordship as he is not very well.

Hi King, Sorry about the ribs, that must be really painful. You take care, and no getting up before you should. Nannyb xxx

Oh, so you're feeling a bit ribby right now! Sorry, absolutely appalling joke. I cracked a rib many years ago (I was in my twenties) and, blimey, I remember how painful it was. It's more than twenty years ago so I forget what I was prescribed for the pain. Think it might have been codeine phospate...??!! Honestly can't remember... but, it definitely helped (as I remember). Get well soon. You need to get back to posting your ludicrous, politically unacceptable (but fantastically positive) postings. Wouldn't dare forward this on to my local Labour Party group! They'd be hugely disapproving. Get Well soon!

Oh KOTC you are having a rough time of it. I know how painful every move and breath is, so get your lovely wife to prop you up on lots of pillows, and listen to the radio, and try and rest. Our thoughts are with you xxx.

Sorry to hear that! Hope you are on the mend soon xx

King, I am so sorry you are in pain. Each cough must be excrutiating. Steer clear of anything exuding steam, including the wife. I would send a hug but I know it would hurt. Instead some kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Take care Alison :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I broke ribs whilst on a cruise up the Nile in Egypt. Unfortunately the local doctor's x-ray machine just showed up my bra straps (you wouldn't have that problem would you?) so I didn't get sympathy until I was x-rayed in the UK! However, I had to put the pain killers in a very interesting place and they were fantastic!!!!! You take care of you and don't try and be heroic. Give it time.
