It is only normal Human emotions - pride, as our World is male dominated & no male would want to believe that a female can overtake him, especially in physical exploits. Unfortunately, each Human has limits, more so in AWARENESS. As the TS (Thread starter) claimed that it was dark, perhaps he became too focused on his desire WITHOUT realizing necessary risk assessments, or poor eyesight as NONE has the same abilities between her & him in night vision, and many more other reasons...
Ultimately, no one is perfect & a mistake was made, & thus the consequences.
It is a time to heal.
TS may comprehensibly moan about his health condition, as med evidences had shown disruption to his minor bodily functions. Contrary to popular beliefs, the body is FULLY capable of SELF REGENERATION - personal healing process, thru Human cells. Some cells, such as blood takes only 24hrs to regenerate, while lungs take years.
Ultimately, it is the BRAIN that is the sum of all parts, to assist in the healing process.
It is perfectly fine to rest for a couple of days, for the regeneration process to take place, BUT may the TS do not rely on CRUTCH MENTALITY, that his ribs are hurt & lays on the bed to recover
forever.
It is only his RIBS that are hurt, BUT NOT the rest of his body parts - arms, legs, etc. He must continue to EXCERCISE his other body parts through simple normal daily functions - walks, mental health, weights, etc without hurting the ribs part.
Such is to ASSIST BLOOD CIRCULATION, as it is the blood that carries necessary nutrients to the body daily, especially proteins for the regeneration/healing process. Should he lays on the bed all the time, have poor diet & bowel movements, his body will never heal as necessary nutrients & its expenditure thru exercises are poorly managed, if at all....
The point is - the MIND controls the body, & NOT the body parts that controls the mind. Thus be positive, for the regeneration process to take place.
All the best and a speedy recovery to the TS.
The insignificant nobody me had suffered & experienced battle wounds & broken bones over years, & yet can still finish a Marathon today & do knows what I am posting here to share with others as I had done research on healing from both medical & theological aspects.
In the end, no mortal lives forever...as cellular decay is a fact, due to environments we live in...BUT that day is NOT today, & we Humankind need not hasten such a day by our poor mentality & perceptions...
My post is not meant for the TS alone, but for anyone, even if only one, among thousands whom surf SBF daily, in the hope that it may help someONE. ONE is an exponential number - one can become three when info is spread out, & over time - to millions, to help others & save lives...
