(I have three persistently cracked ribs from their being bar-b-qued by breast cancer radiation 5 years ago.). A fracture that doesn't heal in a normal length of time is considered a nonunion and, if the pain is severe enough to interfere with daily living (or sleeping), surgical repair might be indicated.

A total solar eclipse will take place on Monday, August 21, 2017. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometers wide. This eclipse is the 22nd of the 77 members of Saros series 145, the one that also produced the solar eclipse of August 11, 1999.
