Well for those of you who don't know. I did a real graceful move on October 6. I used to have really long shoelaces on my tennis shoes. My mom and I took my puppy on a walk, about 2/3 of the way around my right shoe got caught up in my left shoes large bow. Down I went, like a tree, with my left arm directly underneath me. My right arm went out forward with the dog's leash. Both the dog and the right arm came out without harm. I barely even scuffed my knees. The biggest problem was my left arm. Once my mom and I got myself the sidewalk, we started walking the rest of the way home. I had tears streaming down my face by the time we got home, we sat down for a minute. We decided to go to the Urgent Care, they did alot of x-rays which I cried throughout.
When the doctor came back in he said that if I wanted to injure my arm without actually breaking my arm, but has THE most amount of pain ever, I did it. He said that when big, tall, strong men come in with this type of injury, that they are usually swearing and crying. So he wasn't surprised that I cried through the x-rays.
He said I had fractured the head of the distal head of the radius, which is one of the two bones in your forearm. It is fractured right at the elbow. When I saw the ortho doctor two days later he said that the reason why I was hurting up into my thumb, was because I had displaced the two bones in my forearm. He put my arm in a temporary cast for two and a half weeks until the swelling went down some. Then last Thursday they put me into an actual fiberglass cast. Which I wear for another two weeks.
Obviously with this arm I have had alot of pain, so I don't sleep well. So when I get a chance to take a nap, I take it. This past Sunday I went to take a nap on our bed after church. Well our little momma's boy snuck up on the bed and cozied his way in to taking a nap with mommy.
