Ribs

6 weeks

In the words of Elton John, I’m still standing (it’s easier than sitting).
I feel for you CrazyH. I only cough occasionally thank heavens, but laughing is not funny!
I have a cushion at hand to ward off the dog’s sympathetic attacks. I’ll remember that for coughing and laughing now.

Oh dear Mollygro hope you are ok?,
Stock up on painkillers,hope you heal soon.

I broke my ribs a few years ago, when I missed my footing on the attic ladder - took about 2 months to fully recover - painful time, more so because I have Bronchiectasis, which meant regular coughing to clear my lungs. I used to hold a cushion over my ribs, when I felt the need to cough,
Two months seems a long time, but you will recover fully.
Take care !

Thanks. That means there’s a long way to go.
I’ll stock up on painkillers and pause my gym membership.

In my experience it took 6/ 8 weeks to feel OK again.
