Dimpls,
I just had 1st rib resection 7 weeks ago. I would say take the typical things to the hospital. Nothing special, but for at home you may need to either sleep in a recliner or have a pillow that can keep you propped in an upward position. I had a difficult time with deep breathing the first week, be sure to do your incentive spirometer exercises. Be prepared for some inflammation just in case. Hope that helps.
