Ohhh Russell - Commisserations. V. painful. No, nowt you can do. Clasp a pillow to you as suggested, is about all, and, taking pain meds.
Have done it twice. Both times coming off a horse. Broke two in my first fall and three with a dislocated jaw in the second fall. Both my own fault, first time I was not paying attention, and my Icelandic horse spooked with sun glinting of standing rain water, and bolted into the forest - good I came off or I'd have been wrapped round a tree! Got him back, turned him round and rode the 4 miles odd home - was way out in the depths of the New Forest. Took a couple of months to heal.
Second time, whilst mounting. Did not check the ground around, and up flew a pheasant right into my Tennessee Walker's bum... He spooked and off I went with one foot in the stirrup and other foot barely hitting the ground, with my jaw smacking into the side of my big Orthoflex saddle at every stride...eeeewwww Of course, the more I bounced the more he panicked. A no-win buckeroo situation, until he calmed down. Yep, he was OK. Turned him round and off we went for our ride. Though WAS horribly painful.
Took a long time to heal - about three months thatta one!
Hope yours heals soon. Take care man.
