Ouch! Ribs take about 6 months to heal (too much soft tissue like cartilage that just takes time with the low blood flow to that area). I'm glad it was not worse and can used for an excellent learning experience. Both for riding and wrenching. As a buddy once said, dress for the crash, not the ride. He promptly crashed, had his armor ride up as he rolled in the ditch which exposed his ribs which a large rock took advantage of and took out a couple ribs. Oiy!
But it turned out to be a funny story - after the fact; thanks to some pre-planning and self support. I hope this story can offer up some good humor down the road while you choose your riding partners more carefully.
So take it easy while healing, and good luck.
