# Pretty low, I'm sorry to say, but getting by.
Apparently when a fractured rib heals the pain gets worse before it gets better, and you have to force yourself to breath deep and cough now and then, resist the temptation to only do shallow (not painful) breathes, as otherwise you get pneumonia! And we all love pneumonia!

Trouble is, each time you cough, it feels like someones stabbing you in the ribcage, and my online research suggests this will go on for weeks.
Not a happy bunny....
