I'm glad that your healing is coming along. I feel for you on the rib injuries as they are the worse! I played hockey most of my life and the only bones that I have fractured are ribs. I remember when I broke the two floating ones on my left side I asked the doctor what I could do and he said, don't laugh, don't sneeze, don't move fast, and if it hurts take a pain reliever and strap a pillow to your side .

Hopefully you'll be good to drive and get out there car shopping.
