The cracked ribs month in review

Well here I am in week 5 with one broken and a few fractured ribs. The pain is like very little else I've experienced really, but as many people said at some point the pain just suddenly reduces and yep, that happened this week yay!!

Firstly though I had to experience an unpleasant reaction to the hefty painkillers and ended up at the hospital with a splinted diaphragm (read squished), followed by 3 days of not breathing so great! 
It has been an interesting time, I can't think of many other times in my life when I could lie still for three weeks and not want to get up! Apparently my body needed a break and hence I'm seeing the fall at the park as a ploy from my inner psyche to get some rest.

It has given me time to reflect on what I really want from life. I don't know the answer to that question yet however, but I'm working on it!
