NOT a joke, fell of the table and bruised my ribs

Dang man. Take care of yourself. Those bruised ribs can take a while to heal. Been there. done that!
So, as a mechanic, working on taller vehicles and using whatever is handy to access engine,a crate or step or whatever it is will slide out at the worst possibe times. Perhaps its conditioning, as i get sore ribs, but i dont think i ever bruised them. Have had some pretty good impacts on the rad supports though.
