about two months back, my little brother jeffrey broke his arm during a go-kart accident [at an undisclosed location]. my poor little jeffy broke BOTH bones in his right arm. BOTH! i can't begin to imagine the pain he went through. i heard what happened--the resulting mental pictures are too gruesome to share. so instead, i'll show you the x-rays. =) keep in mind that it was his RIGHT arm that broke. and he doesn't have TWO elbows.
see for yourself:
he had to have a rod put THROUGH one bone because it shattered so severely and a metal brace put on the other--a brace that he'll most likely have to wear for the rest of his life. he will forever be setting off the metal detectors like the true deviant he is. (shaking head) they'll probably even have to strip search him. now he'll HAVE to wear clean socks and underwear when he leaves the house. you know, just in case... =)
he "claims" that pink was the only option, but i know better...
he has, i think, just one surgery left--to remove the rod from the bone that shattered. his arm will of course never be quite the same. it'll be weaker than his other for sure. and he'll have some cool scars to show people but honestly... i know he'd trade those scars and memories for another chance to whoop his older brothers in wrestling.
...stupid boys. =)
