I'm sorry the weather is bad Waves.

I have a real history with falling going back to the year I was 13.
THe day classes were to let out for christmas break I fell running/walking
to my bus stop. And went through the day with a ice pack on my
elbow. Got home, and after about 4 hours, ended up at the emergency
room, because my mom decided anyone that laid around, did nothing for
that long needed to be seen. Had a broken elbow.

Then on the day I went back to school after christmas break (Same year)
I fell going across to get the mail, off the school bus. On the only patch
of ice. Lucily the neighbor boy helped me up, I wouldn't have been able
to get up on my own. He also went across and got the mail for me.

Any way I was to go to the doctor the next day. But when my mom say
how much pain I was in. She took me to the emergency room to get a xray
that night. They said, that it didn't look like it was broke but to take it
to the ortho the next day. The next day the ortho looked at it.

And the nurse came she had taken one cast off thinking she was putting it
back on that arm. Anyway she said, its not unusual to put a cast back
on after 3 weeks, mom said, but its not the same arm, is that usual.

It was a identical break.

I've been on crutches, had head trauma's, and other injuries too.

So I plan to stay up standing and not fall as much as possible. First
step was finding my new boots.
