Yikes on the ribs...yeeeoooww that hurts just thinking about it I have popped ribs out and know how much that hurts can't imagine the other!
I hope our stories do help others
I will keep updating
I remember when I first began searching for answers about AU there was not any personal stories of recovery just bad news..ie once it gets that far it never grows back hardly ever! When mine all comes back from Iodine I will shout it from the roof and post it all over the web...will blog my As$ off about it!
