Death has taken far too many good ones over the past year.

My boss has changed his name like five times. It's annoying.

For the third time my son has broken my ribs. The first two times were when he was young and we'd be wrestling and horsing around MMA style and he kneed me in the ribs. This time was not in fun. Nuff said.

First off, there is nothing you can do to fix a busted rib. They just have to heal. I have this large velcro ace bandage wrapped tightly around my chest to minimize the amount of chest expansion while breathing. And ya, I've had it since the first time he did it.

Secondly, and this is the best advice you'll ever get in regard to a broken rib, if you feel a sneeze coming on, get to the nearest wall and press your body against it on the side with the busted bone as HARD AS YOU CAN TAKE.

This will limit the explosion in your chest.

Damn dude, feel better and rest up. No Trump news for you for at least 24 hours, don't want you getting worked up and making it worse.

It might also help to work on breathing with your stomach instead of your lungs.

Quote:

Chest breathing refers to breaths from the top lobes of the lungs that use the chest muscles to inflate the lungs by pulling on the rib cage. In chest breathing, the chest expands and contracts with each breath while the abdominal area does not. These breaths tend to be short and quick, using only a small portion of the lungs and delivering a relatively minimal amount of oxygen to the bloodstream. Chest breathing is often associated with hyperventilation and a sensation of feeling out of breath, as you attempt to take in oxygen quickly despite the low air volume from each breath.
Stomach Breathing

Stomach breathing, also called belly or diaphragmatic breathing, refers to breaths that use your entire lung capacity. The diaphragm and abdominal muscles pull down on the abdominal cavity to fully inflate the lungs. The chest expands very little if at all while stomach breathing, while the abdominal area expands significantly. Breaths taken while stomach breathing are slow and deep, taking longer to inhale and exhale and delivering a significantly larger amount of oxygen to the bloodstream. The larger amount of air intake also allows you to exhale a larger amount of carbon dioxide, eliminating it from your body at a faster rate.

Thanx mangs. 2017 has been a rough year physically for me. I didn't even mention the bout of norovirus I dealt with for 3 days last week. The only plus is that the pain in my chest is taking prevalence over my sciatica right now.

My condolences, Nea and Chula.

After working myself to the bone for the past week, I'm spending today in bed with a book. It feels good.
