Take vicodin, don't breath hard, you should be able to sleep.
I could drive a truck after a few weeks, but movement hurt for at least 8 weeks.

Good luck.
Xrays were done from every conceivable most painful angle you can imagine.

The doc gave me Percs and I can't take a full breath even if I wanted to.

But I do have a Mac surfster on the way!
