Ouch! I broke my arm. Technically I have a radial head fracture which means that the break is right below my elbow. I got to see the x-ray but I already knew that this was a very foreign sensation (nice word for pain.) Dang, it hurt! I was walking across the parking lot and tripped on an uneven spot in the cement. I guess that this is why mom said that I should "pick up my feet."
There are many reasons to be grateful.
1. It's my left arm!
2. It happened at work so I had great nurses immediately available.
3. This break does not require a cast.
4. It's my left arm!!!
I have been to two doctors in the last 24 hours. One was occupational medicine required by workman's comp. They agree on the diagnosis and treatment. Although I cannot use my left arm, my pain is well controlled. If I had to break a bone, I suppose this was a good break. I do feel so fortunate that it was not worse. I guess I need to be more careful (at my age.)
