20-Year Cactus Dropped, Now Opening Up: Damage or Rot? Photo Needed

24" Cereus tetragonus Dropped 6 Months Ago, Fed Miracle-Gro Month Ago, Now "Opening" Not Tight

Owner asks if it will tighten again, water more or less.

Two Possibilities

Drop damage (may recover).
Main stem/root rot (worse).
If stem firm, may need water. Send photo to greg8365@hotmail.com.
