What an Idiot I am.
While doing chores in the house 1-1/2 weeks ago, I was barefoot, I stepped on a pet brush (Steel Spikes for long hair) the ensuing pain launched be forward and I landed on my right side, sideways onto a pet stairs thingy the wife has so the pets can get onto the bed. 3 puncture wounds, 4 cracked and bruised ribs and a few lumps. It hurt like hell is an understatement.
I've found out the cracked ribs don't like any kind of G force going around a corner either. Other than pain meds, nothing can be done, I just have to heal up.

My fiancé broke her ribs earlier this year and unfortunately there isn't much you can do other than let time heal them.

I fell down in a hotel shower and cracked 2 ribs a few years ago. My daughter and I were out of town on a volleyball tournament trip and she took a shower before me and used a whole bottle of conditioner I guess. I stepped in the shower after and down I went. Let out a huge "Oh ****!" and down I went. Buck naked. Bathroom door locked. Landed on the tub apron with my ribs. Lay there for a while with the water running. Didn't know if I could even get up but eventually I had to because you know naked and alone with the daughter in the other room. Daughter said she heard me yell and then a huge thud but didn't know what to do. I said I could have been dead but still better than you coming in.
Took a long time to get back to normal.
