Glad it was no major injuries. I've suffered broken ribs on more than one occasion and I feel for her pain. Wish I could tell you something thst helps, but there's not much. Sometimes a compression bandage helps a little and sometimes ice. Just keep her away from anyone with a cold or flu for a while.
First time I broke a rib I caught a cold and every sneeze or cough was like being punched by a heavy weight boxer. You feel the cough come on, and you just brace yourself for another round of torture. But the alternative is holding backnthe coughs and getting pneumonia. My doctor didn't want to give me any narcotic pain meds and the OTC stuff wasn't cutting it. My wife was recovering from her breast cancer surgery and had a big bottle of them. So I sent doc a pic and told her one way or another I was getting pain relief, we could do it under her supervision, or I could go it alone. There was a paper script waiting for me st the front counter 30 mins later. I have a pretty high pain threshold, but broken ribs with a cold was up there with my kidney stone on the pain scale.
