I broke my wrist in a motorcycle spill - even after years motorcycling and knowing how to break a fall from Judo, I still managed to forget not to put my arm out when I hit the asphalt.Ouch

I wish you a speedy recovery zappaholic. Have modern casts overcome the interminable impossible to reach itch problem? That more than anything else drove me nuts when I was in plaster.

Lord knows how I've avoided breaking any bones in my 42 years, but I've been lucky somehow.

Worst injury was probably when I banged my head against a wall in primary school and had to have 8 stiches. No biggie really..

Not exactly the words I'd use to describe it at the time, but now looking back...it was fun enough once the pain was done and the arm was in a cast. LOL

Hey, I broke my right arm too!  Back in high school (or late middle school, can't remember exactly when) I was using the football practice equipment incorrectly...the net thing they run through?  I was jumping over it with some friends.  I caught my foot in it one time, tried to catch myself with my arm, and...SNAP!  Both bones of the forearm were broken, both sticking out through the skin.  I didn't even notice it until I stood back up and got ready to start running around again.  Then I looked at my arm, realized I had an extra elbow, and proceeded to scream my head off.  Luckily there was a doctor nearby, he got it set while we waited for the ambulance to show up.

I've never broken a bone before. So there's probably gonna be sometime where I'll have a REALLY bad accident to make up for it.

Hope all goes well and it heals quick. Thumbs Up

Well done!
 
Sounds like you broke it good.

I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

I haven't been on the forum for a week and a half.  The reason is because I broke my arm a couple Sundays ago.  I was walking from my car to a restaurant where I enjoy having Sunday breakfast, and wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to what my feet were doing.  As a result, I tripped on the curb and went flying.  Next thing I knew I was on my back, screaming in pain, with part of my humerus sticking out through my coat sleeve.  Thankfully some people in the restaurant called 911 in short order.  I spent several days at Akron General hospital, and 4 1/2 hours in surgery to reassemble my arm with plates, screws and piano wire.  Since I was discharged a week ago I've spent most of the time at my parents' house (since I live alone), and they have helped me out considerably in my recuperation.  Still, it'll be a few weeks before I'm healed.  Plus it's my right arm - I'm right-handed, so it's been a bit of a challenge.

Please share your tales of bodily injury.
