Have you ever broken a bone?

I was in high school when I fractured my right wrist after a freak ski accident.  My bone actually jutted out of my wrist and for some reason, I didn’t seem to be in pain (to note, I do have a high tolerance to pain).  

When I went to the hospital, I was concerned that I would need surgery but as luck would have it, I only needed a cast for about six weeks. I was forced to use my left hand to do my homework and let’s just say that my penmanship resembled a kindergartner learning how to write.  

As time passed, the cast emitted a foul smell and became itchy underneath. I would try to dab the area with antiseptic solution and that seemed to help for a couple of days and then I’d have to repeat the process all over again.

    Same here but with my left and my foster sister decided to shove me down on the patio floor. She had anger issues, unresolved at that, so I broke my left hand and had to use my right which wasn’t as bad as yours as I’m ambi so… it just strengthened the right. 🙂 I was taught in kindergarten that the left hand was evil and I should write with my right. I tend to eat with both the left and right too. 😛

      Oooh you’re very unique. Also sorry that your foster sister did that to you. 😑

    I broke both my tibia and fibia in my right leg when I was in highschool during a skateboard accident. It took them close to 3 hours to set it since the fractures were toothed and not straight. I was in a full leg cast for most of the year,half leg cast for half another year, and brace for the other half. I wasnt able to walk on my right leg correctly for about 2 years.
