I appreciate all of the kind words and support from everyone. A quick medical update: final report indicates six broken ribs and new X-ray shows a pleural effusion.
What is pleural effusion?
Pleural effusion, sometimes referred to as “water on the lungs,” is the build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs. The pleura are thin membranes that line the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity and act to lubricate and facilitate breathing. Normally, a small amount of fluid is present in the pleura.

Chest pain
Dry, nonproductive cough
Dyspnea (shortness of breath, or difficult, labored breathing)
Orthopnea (the inability to breathe easily unless the person is sitting up straight or standing erect)
