The CT scan in the E.D. on Saturday showed 6 ribs broken, but 8 fractures because 2 were broken in 2 places - another set back and one that is painful beyond belief.
I don't sleep well and was trying Relaxium Sleep, which is advertised as being very effective - well, they are correct. Although I only took half the recommended dose, I think when I got up to go to the bathroom, I was still half asleep and disoriented from the Relaxium, and as a result, went down. Needless to say, I am not using that product any longer. It's been a rough spring.

Wow. I am really upset to read this. Broken ribs are just awful. Best of luck on your recovery.
Treat yourself to some ice cream or something, you're gonna need it.
The above might sound flippant, but I don't mean it to be. Good luck.
