Oh sweetie, so sorry to hear this! Anything to do with the ribs can be so painful. And your knee, too. Oh dear. Please know we are all thinking of you and sending very best wishes your way. Keep us posted on how you're doing!

Feel better and rest, rest, rest. A fall like that like is traumatic....glad there were people there to help you.

Take one day at a time...it will get better!!

I echo all the sentiments above. Feel better and try to relax, when your tense it makes breathing more difficult. Just try to find a peaceful place, try to be as comfortable as possible and breathe slow deep and easy.

The body is an amazing thing, I hope your feeling better quickly.

That's awful! Get better and stay strong!
