Have you ever broken a bone?

Yes, my right hand. I was diving head first back to second base in a softball game and my middle finger caught the base and snapped backwards. I could hear a pop, but since I was still able to move my hand, I and none of my teammates realized it was broken. I finished up the game so they wouldn't have to forfeit.

I went to work the next day and by then it had swollen up quite a bit, but I still didn't realize it was broken. After 3 more days of working with a broken hand, that wasn't improving, I decided maybe I should go to the doctor. Sure enough it was broken, but they had to order some brace that was going to take a couple of weeks to get there. Uh, I don't think so.

I then went to a sports medicine doctor and he right away put me in a cast. I think that was about 10 years ago. I don't have any pain in that hand and it works great. Thank goodness I went to the sports doctor, it most likely would have never healed correctly in just a brace.

I broke my arm when I was 11-12. I was chasing my friend around outside at school and this nasty girl stuck her foot out and tripped me. I fell so fast, I didn't have time to break my fall by putting my arms out, so my entire body weight landed on my right arm.

It hurt a lot at first, but after that wasn't so bad. I got out of doing dishes because of the cast and got out of gym class (woo hoo!), so I didn't mind!
