We decided we wanted vinyl plank in the living room. So, I ripped the old out and ordered the replacement. Everything went completely uneventful until the point where I had about 10 planks left to go. I was laying facedown cutting the locking tab off so I could slip the next panel in place where it joined the last that was about an inch behind the door jam. When I got to the jam itself, I couldn't see under the jam from how I was laying. So, I rolled over onto my left side and when I did, I felt a pop and a sharp pain in my ribs. Thinking i bruised my ribs, I stuck it out and got the last of the floor down. Couple days later my ribs seemed to be worse than the day I did it. So, off to the ICC I go and when they x-rayed they found I actually broke two ribs.

That sucks big time. Take care of yourself, unfortunately healing time at my age is lengthy.
I bumped my leg and end up in wound care for almost a year.

What's "nice" about broken ribs is they can't do a thing about them other than wrap them.
Decades ago I was on the wrong end of a size 12 boot that belonged to an angry husband.
I guess he thought that knocking me out just wasn't enough.
