Agh, get well soon dude. Also, how can you dislocate a rib?
Don't tell me this is the reason why you hang out on TEST forum so much?
Good news: It's not dislocated!

It's not easy with adults ... but it's painful. You can break or dislocate a rib from impact or from coughing hard. If you want to know how hard, watch someone with bronchitis hold their chest when they're coughing.
Do we tell him about small babies and croup? Naw. He's going to be scared enough just dealing with shitty diapers.

I am a changed man. I have discovered many things:
Babies talk in body language and are fluent in it from arrival. They only resort to crying/screaming if you don't hear (see) that message.
Nappies are the original quantum experiment, is it soiled? They are both soiled and not, until observed. Invariably most of the time it is. I have to discover how to harness this Quantum to make them most of the time not.
They radiate an unusual amount of heat. I am in the process of trying to design a baby-fired Stirling engine.
Wait two years. I promise you the stirling engine will not only design itself, but it will provide unlimited energy too.
Oh and make sure to make your living room a soundproof padded room with things to climb on, jump off and bounce on. You'll thank me when going outside is just not feasible.
99% of the time, yes, the body self-regulates. In this instance (and many others like it), the need to expel foreign matter from the lungs overrides the self-regulation and CRACK, you've got a broken rib.
Wow... I read up on treatment and therapy on broken ribs. It seems now the solution is to just medicate you and hope you can deal with the pain. I mean not that compression wraps did much but they always seemed to help.
That's what happen when you drink water instead of Beer... lern the lesson while you fully recover!
hug a pillow when you cough till you heal up.

You know your getting old when you hurt yourself sleeping - which I seem to be doing more and more of lately!!!
I spent part of last night trying to think how to respond... Everything, even jokes come out sounding morbid. I honestly don't think it would have mattered to me. Here... roughly the same kind of tire, but in a cage like it should be.

Well. If you had visited me while you passed through Sacramento this never would have happened.
