Foxy Brown Sentenced to a Year in Jail. NEW YORK -- Foxy Brown was sentenced Friday to one year in jail for violating probation that stemmed from a fight with two manicurists in a New York City nail salon three years ago. I'm not going to give you any more chances, Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson told the 28-year-old rapper.
You can bruise your ribs coughing, that's for sure! I have an aunt who had the flu years ago and never got over that cough...she has kept bruised ribs every winter since. Try to do the panting thing, like they show when a woman is in labor.
However, broken ribs are usually just left to heal on their own. Now days, physicians usually do not even use rib binders. Or if they are used, they have to be removed several times a day for deep breathing exercises. Continuous use of a rib binder tends to cause atelectasis, which can lead to pneumonia. Also, when the ribs are broken, it is not just the bone that is injured.
