JimD 3,345 #1 Posted February 9, 2017 had a great fall. Unfortunately, his winter sucked! Was on the way out to a Doctor appt. when I fell in the driveway and broke my arm between the elbow and shoulder, or the humerus bone. Right now I'm failing to see the funny part. Took a ride with some nice fellas of Community Ambulance to RMH. Was there from from 1pm to 7pm. Results? Finger pic shows where the break is. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with....... ME! (please, no music videos) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,319 #2 Posted February 9, 2017 This is the first post from you that didn't make me laugh. Soo sorry Jim. Get well soon, and stay off the ice. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,132 #3 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) So, I'm thinking..."no music videos" means... a "caption this" thread is out of the question too? God speed on your recovery Jim. Edited February 10, 2017 by AMC RULES 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,531 #6 Posted February 9, 2017 Jim, I don't see anything humerus about this either. Dang man, as they used to sing on Hee Haw: "gloom, despair, and agony on me; deep dark depression, excessive misery; if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all; gloom despair, and agony on me." Okay. So what can I say? I guess I'll just say Spring is coming. There has to be a silver lining somewhere. Oh yeah, you didn't break your glasses, and you didn't do it while back-flipping a Wheel Horse. Get Well Soon my friend! Oh, just thought about something. You need to get well so you can come to the WHCC show and be in the running for the infamous RedSquare hardhat. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You, my friend didn't deserve that painful and unexpected injury on the way to see the Doctor.

stevasaurus 22,769 #10 Posted February 9, 2017 I'm sorry Jim, but I see the humor in this. That is the best picture that I have of you. BTW, nice bruising in that arm. On a serious note...you have a ton of people that love you man. My prayers with you and Karen. I know what it means to be laid up, and the only way to get by is to make the best of it. I suggest watching some Tella-Tubbies Videos...they really do help to make you feel better. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,769 #13 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) OK...I just saw this a little bit ago and now, I have had some time to do a little thinking about this. Usually, when somebody falls (like out of a tree) or on the snow...you would fracture your wrist. After all that is what everybody sticks out there to break their fall. You break a bone in your upper arm...a humorous bone no doubt. After much searching on Google images, 98% of the people that fall and break that bone are picking their nose while they are walking on a slick surface. Say it ain't so JIm. I hope it does not hurt to laugh my friend. Edited February 9, 2017 by stevasaurus 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,171 #14 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Rule 1 Always wear a goalie mask when walking on the ice! Spoiler Spoiler Sorry to see this Jim. I thought I had a bad day dealing with idiots. My son broke the same bone when he fell last summer. If you get bored while recovering, I know a guy with lots of old monster movies you can watch.

Sorry to say this guys, but sadly there was no snow or ice to blame this on, just my own stupidity. Nice dry ground. Turns out I'm just a Slew footed clumsy old fat guy. That makes it even harder to take. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 1965 1,530 #22 Posted February 11, 2017 Really sorry to hear this Jim. Prayers just sent your way. Rest up and take care of yourself. Lots of us here on RS are getting older and a little less sure footed. Keep us posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
