Thanks ladies! He apparently discussed with his boss they same question and they self-daignosed it as a cracked rib based on his boss' experience with one. It is hard for him to take off work so he didn't want to go to the doctor if it wasn't necessary. Poor guy!

I crashed last summer -- luckily, my next door neighbor is an ER doc. He met me on the driveway, poked to make sure my kidneys and liver seemed okay and I hadn't punctured a lung, then said basically what everyone else said -- just take it easy, try not to laugh/cough/sneeze/breath deeply. Mine took about 6 weeks to get better. Didn't know if it was cracked or bruised, but didn't seem to matter.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
