Knocked unconscious for several minutes I come too with a crowd standing around me and guy saying "stay down mister, you're hurt real bad". My bride had called 911 and 20 minutes later the paramedics arrived... from the station one mile away. :h
The point being, don't feel bad about the busted rib or tripping over a concrete block. I think tripping over a pool noodle takes the prize for foolish falls. The nose healed up alright but the busted ribs took almost two months and man O man the first couple of weeks were not much fun....even with the drugs. :E
