Is that a bunch of titanium or something else? Hope you feel better soon and can get off the Vicoden. Most people I know who've taken that don't really like it.

I hate Vicodin, too. Check with your doc for an alternative. Norco worked for me.

Bet it hurt like hell the first time... Don't imagine it feels that great right about now either.
Hope you get to feeling better, maybe soon without the Vicoden.

Working at the airport. Fell down the ramp stairs. Finished my shift though.

Bent-arm cast. Vicodin. You know the routine.

Doc said it happened because my bones were too strong to break. I guess that was supposed to be a good thing.

Arm is good as new now. just no longer double-jointed like my left arm. oh well.

it was a pretty tough six weeks recovery as I recall.

Pain pills, yep. that was the ticket for a few weeks.

Feel better soon.
