Foxy Brown Sentenced to a Year in Jail. NEW YORK -- Foxy Brown was sentenced Friday to one year in jail for violating probation that stemmed from a fight with two manicurists in a New York City nail salon three years ago. I'm not going to give you any more chances, Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson told the 28-year-old rapper.
You can bruise your ribs coughing, that's for sure! I have an aunt who had the flu years ago and never got over that cough...she has kept bruised ribs every winter since. Try to do the panting thing, like they show when a woman is in labor.
A break in the thick tissue (cartilage) that connects the ribs to the breastbone may also be called a fractured rib, even if the bone itself is not broken. The most common cause of a fractured rib is a direct blow to the chest, often from a car accident or a fall. Coughing hard can also fracture a rib.
