Gruffalo

Ive been doing a bit of research, and it appears that cracked ribs, in keeping with bones in general, will take about 6 weeks to mend.  They are not strapped up, bound or similar to stop them moving, I have to breath after all.  Today is day 4, and I can't say it's any better at all.  I have found, however that if I am sat doing nothing strenuous for a while it's not a problem at all.  A bit like the reason the pollsters got their predictions wrong, it's flipping obvious!  I won't be calling for an enquiry though.

I've remember most times to suppres a cough, but very difficult on some occasions.  I've now developed a gruff throaty rasp to get rid of phlegm in my throat.
