Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall.......

The journey of my broken arm began on the 5th of August when I fell on the ground whilst doing a kipping pull up. Yes !! I am a crossfitter and I'm proud of it..but of course ...not the fall !! It was a freak accident for what I believe. I really don't know what got into me. I can't explain how I swung off the bar and why my hand slipped. I have one too many questions and no answers. Why me? Why?

As a result of the fall, I didn't only fractured (transverse) my right midshaft humerus but I also strained my lower right lumbar spine. Imagine the pain and discomfort I was going through. I couldn't sleep lying down so was forced to sleep sitting up on my bed with pillows propped up on my back. I couldn't rest my fractured arm on anything. Not even a pillow because apparently the the force of gravity was supposed to draw the two bones so that they are aligned. I was put in a big U-cast and they took x-rays before and after the cast. I gotta say this is the most traumatic time in my whole entire life which I do not wish to repeat. Soon after this my whole forearm and fingers swelled up. It swelled up so much they looked like what a rubber glove filled with water would look like. I felt really weak, dizzy and as if I was dying. I couldn't stomach anything either as I was throwing up all day due to the side effect of IV morphine. I was in such a bad way !!! I couldn't stop crying to a point tears were just streaming down my face. I knew what was ahead of me in days to come.....and I had a bad feeling about it.
