Friday night I went to see my boys and we went to McDonalds in Rutland. I was too big to take Paxton into the play place tunnels so my girl Claire took him in. They were in a glass bubble so I pulled myself up onto one of the bars so that he could see me and I could make him laugh. I was there for a few minutes and then decided to hop down, when I did my arm caught on one of the bars that went to a T and I heard "crack". My fingers started to tingle so I said we have to go to Claire. She thought we were getting kicked out for her being in the tunnels. When I told her that I broke my arm she thought I was joking. The guy that was sitting about 30 feet away confirmed to her that he heard it break. I went to the ER and they confirmed that it was broken. I broke the big bone in my forearm on the inside near my thumb. I have it in a splint, I wouldn’t let them cast it because the cast would not allow me to type because it goes over your knuckles. If I cannot type I cannot work and well I need to work.
The doctor that saw me looked at my x-ray and said that I needed to go see an orthopedic surgeon to have surgery. He said they were going to wrap the bone with a metal plate. I am not going to do that. I already have one metal plate on my collar bone from a car accident and in the winter I really feel the cold weather. I looked at the x-ray and it looks like a small fracture, I think they just want to bump up the bills hehe.
