Nancy - broken ribs are not something to fool with.  We lost a
friend who got dumped off a horse (in Mt Madonna Park, Gilroy CA ) years
ago, broke a rib and when she caught her breath & got up, the rib
moved & pierced the aorta.  She was dead (in front of her whole
family) in minutes.

My point is that if some strange accident happened, such as already
happened to you once, and you got dumped again with unhealed ribs - you
are at risk.  Please consider this carefully.  Lif
