humerus bone

OUCH,Misty!! That doesn`t sound fun at all! One of my grandsons broke his humerus when he was about 6 or 7 but of course,at that age,it healed really quickly. Oh,to be young again...

Good advice,Jim. We haven`t had coffee tables since our kids were little and we realized how dangerous they were for them. Never even thought about them being just as dangerous to us seniors..
 
Hello Misty, Sorry to read of your accident and the pain you are having.
I wish you a good and speedy recovery, take care of of yourself.
Hugs, Raven.
 

Oldman, Glad your hand is healing well. Accidents can happen so quickly.
Do be careful and take care until your hand is completely healed.

Misty, Not so wonderful. I just have developed a really high pain tolerance. Most children that have gone through long periods of illness deal with a lot of pain. They get used to it daily, and you know children, they want to do stuff.
It becomes an issue of mind over matter, and what matters to a child it is doing everything that other children do. I don't think adults can develope the power to ignore pain as easily as kids.
Through my lifetime I've spent many 3 months, 9 months, 12 months periods of time in hospitals. This worked for me until I turned 50. Tolerating pain can be very harmful to your body. Not taking care of your pain can make your arm worse. Pain can cause inflammation, and even high blood pressure.
I now know just how stupid this ability has been for me. :wave: So Misty, don't endure your pain, and push through your daily activities. Ask for help, let some of it go until your able. Call in a few favors! But take care of yourself.:bighug:

That's sad that you have spent a lot of time dealing with pain, Ina, and I am taking your advice. It's been a week ago today, that it happened and I do feel better than I did for quite awhile. Nights are still a challenge but getting a bit better. I'm taking full advantage of help from my husband, and it will be hard to stop it after I can use my arm again. :D Thanks for the hug, Dear Lady. :)

No, it wasn't fun at all, Mrs. Robinson, and taking a good friends advice and not doing it anymore. :) I had read that the humerus bone when broken is one of the most painful, so Very Good news your grandson healed quickly. Thanks for your thoughts. :)
