Cracking up

Cracked ribs.  Sounds like a book title, (and might be) but in actual fact it's what I have after slipping on the ice Thursday morning.  It felt pretty bad when I hit the floor (I was on my bike) but got worse over the next 48hrs.  I'm now into day 3 and its maybe not quite as bad, but that could be because I'm  compensating and have adapted by not doing things 'normally'.  I feel like I've aged 20 years, and if it's as bad as this when I get old, I'm not looking forward to it.
