I've experienced broken ribs on separate occasions - the first time I was dating another guy's GF without knowing it, and sure enough he beat the **** out of me (how classy is kicking someone in the stomach after they're already beat you up?)
Answer, it pretty degenerate,; however that's what fights are...
The second time I suffered broken ribs was while riding my Step-Fathers KLX 300 for the first time. I ran front tire first into an abatement with no possible egress. Unfortunately I was hauling *** at the time, and my bodies inertia racked my abdomen into the handle bars... ...and CRUNCH..
Not good, but come on, it doesn't make you disabled... it hurts pretty continuously, but after a while you just roll w it while it heals...
Pretty sure if I'd take broken ribs over nearly any other bone breaking... I swear, nothing compares to a bad kidney stone though..... nothing
Accordingly, Nelson's kind of a giant ***** if he won't take a needle and play...
There really no reason to sit out. Not like your ribs will detach and fatally puncture vital organs...
Unfortunately, guy seems nice and all, but come on now - step up and play through the pain. **** isn't so painful like everyone whose had a broken collar bone will tell you. "It's not that bad after a week or so...
...but, re fracturing broken ribs is some medieval serious ****. That's the definition of pain...
In conclusion, we're gonna bully those guys all day next week.
