Brees suffered three fractured ribs on the right side of his chest last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He then suffered two more Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
None of the injuries were known until he underwent X-rays on Monday.
One of the worst chapters in my life involved a cracked rib and a collapsed lung (Brees also has the collapsed lung) I incurred in a skiing accident.
Inflating a collapsed lung with a chest tube was the worst pain I ever endured.
The nurse in the small Vt hospital told me, "roll over on your side, grab the gurney rail, his might hurt a little".
then the fucking witch stabbed me in the chest.
Good luck Mr. Brees.
