Toasted some ribs at Mammoth when I hit the top end of a snag that had fallen over after I hit some ice skiing some tight trees and missed the predetermined line I needed to be on.
Could have been a lot worse. It's been ten days now; and I've broken and bruised ribs before - they hurt for what seems forever - but mine are now moving around and popping when I roll over in my sleep. That hasn't happened before.
It had been about ten days of taking it very easy when this happened.
Have a definite sunken area in one rib. Felt one rib pop back in on my back right after I stood up when it happened. Had a foot long bruise, but that's gone now. I usually don't bruise easily. Felt like the rib popped. It was enough to wake me up while asleep. I spent most of the last week or so sleeping on my back and felt good enough to sleep on my stomach if I put a pillow under my stomach to kind of suspend my ribs in the air. Since this happened it's been hurting more. Very weird.
