â¢ Terms are to be distinguished from statements made prior to the. contract being made. Two main types of statement: â A representation about a state of affairs, or. â A promise that something will or will not occur in the future. â¢ Either type of statement can become a term of the contract, whether or. not they are oral or written, or partly oral and partly written.
Step 1. Ice your affected ribs. You can purchase an ice pack or create your own by putting ice cubes in a plastic bag and covering the bag with a hand towel. Apply the ice to the area in 10- to 15-minute increments. Icing the area helps to relieve inflammation and its associated pain. Step 2.
The muscles used for breathing pull on the ribs, so breathing may be very painful when you have a fractured rib. It is important to see a doctor after a rib injury. A blow that is hard enough to fracture a rib could also injure your lungs, spleen, blood vessels, or other parts of your body.our ribs have two main jobs: 1  They protect the organs in your chest. 2  They help you breathe by keeping space open inside your chest while the muscles you use to breathe squeeze in, or contract. 3  This leaves plenty of space for your lungs to fill up with air.
