Broken Rib

My brother fell and broke a rib.  He fell awhile back and bruised some ribs and it took awhile to mend.  This will take even longer.  It is hard for him to sleep as every move wakes him up.  They used to tape people up so they didn't breathe deep to let the rib heal.  Now they find it is better to just leave it alone and let it heal itself.  He's going to have several weeks of pain before he gets over this one.  Hope he doesn't fall anymore.
