Broken Bones | Pad Patter 5.9

That sounds really painful!! No, I have never broken a bone yet and I pray I never do!

 

Yes I broke a toe.trying on a pair of cropped jeans in a changing room at a store. Getting my toe stuck in the hem and losing my balance,so I yanked upwards,and fell at the same time.
I did not buy the jeans lol

 

Besides broken toes that just get taped to the next one to heal?

About 6 weeks before my 40th birthday I decided to put on some rollerblades (which were popular in 1995) and practice on my driveway. The dog across the street was out so I went across the street to see Bo. Coming back to my house I got the roller blade on grass instead of cement or blacktop road and went down. I "broke" the fall with my left hand. It hurt all night and was still hurting the next morning so I stopped at my doctor's office on my way to work. Told the clerk what happened and she said they'd try to get me in (this was before urgent care). They had x-rays on site so took one and turns out I had a hairline fracture in my wrist. No cast needed but my wrist was stabilized and wrapped in an ace bandage. I had called work to tell them I'd be late and ended up being about 90 minutes late getting there. I did work in an office doing accounting and thankfully I'm right handed so I could still write but the typing... I was back to hunt and peck. I had 2 more x-rays and had a check up scheduled for Oct 4th (my birthday). I was released that day as the fracture had healed. Best birthday present ever!

During those 6 weeks I was on a 4 day trip with my parents and a friend joined us to go to Dad's Navy Reunion. June had to help me wash my hair because I couldn't get the wrappings wet. Mom had helped me at home.

I never put the roller blades on again. Only broken bone in my life. Sprains and torn cartilage... that's another story!

 

Broke my big toe as a kid from jumping off something high, and broke my thumb as a preteen when an old open train window slammed down on it. I don’t remember the first but vividly remember the second.

but that’s all!

 

Broke my ankle five times before I was 15. Broke my toe on a door and fractured by elbow a few years ago, ice skating.

 

Knocking on wood and hoping I'm not jinxing myself by typing this . . . I have never broken a bone. I'm trying to be careful and continue this habit. My mom almost managed to never break a bone . . . until she took a misstep sometime in her 60's. My kids have also managed to make it through childhood with only one broken toe (my daughter kicked a piece of furniture while dancing when she was a preteen). My husband hasn't broken anything either.

 

No broken bones but at the age of 9 I had ankle surgery as I have weakness in my feet.With that surgery my left ankle has pins, screws and a nice variety of scars on it.

 

I broke a toe last year. The middle one no less on the corner of the door. It wasn't even that painful.
But swelled up and turned blue almost immediately.
I walk around barefoot most of the time.

 

Bart hopes for no fractures falling off the skateboard.

 

Sadly I have broken a couple of bones. Lol. I was a clutzy kid. I broke my collarbone twice and also tripped (was actually tripped by a jerk of a boy in the hallway at school) and I broke my wrist in a BUNCH of places all at once. All of them of course on my right side making writing difficult at school.

I can't believe your husband broke his leg and didn't know! OUCH! I can't even imagine how bad it would hurt to have to re-break a leg. Oh my gosh! But I guess you do what you need to do so it heals properly, right? Eek! Keep us posted.

 

Kisses for Bart

 

oh no my dear, so sorry, take care.

Kisses for Bart

 

I hope your husband will be ok.. broken leg/foot is no joke.

I broke my right ring finger when I was 12.

After just turning 60 in September, I fell while running in November, and I fractured my right humerus (arm bone that connects to the collar bone). It was the day before Thanksgiving. I am so glad I went to the ER that day instead of waiting with the Holiday being the next day. Thank goodness I did not need surgery, but I was able to begin Physical Therapy in January and doing my PT at home in addition to the 8 PT visits I went to, I am almost back to full capacity except I cannot bear a lot of weight picking things up. I still (since the end of December) daily do stretches and exercises that I got in PT besides others, 5 days a week to keep my arm flexible with range of motion. I am now working with 2 & 5 pound dumbbells to regain strength as in addition to the broken humerus, I had also torn a lot of the bicep muscle. I still have a lot of aches especially with bad weather, but I am so glad things are so much better and continue on to do so on a daily basis.

 

oh my goodness Amber.. glad you are ok now. Stay safe.

I think when we get older we need bubble wrap!

 

Bart wants everyone to feel better!
