Sorry to hear that.
The Army guy in me wants to scream "Suck it up and ruck on!!" but having been there under similar circumstances (but for different reasons) my advice would be "Go get that cast!" and have your head checked while you are at it.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Ouchtown population you bro. Feel better.

Has anyone heard from Jim in the last 24-36 hours?
Sorry to hear of your injury my friend. Having myself once had a similar injury long ago, I know that
the pain can be quite intense, agonizing and worrisome. Yet one must be careful not to let using the pain killers become an addiction.
As that is the greater danger of this type of injury. One that must be known and adequately guarded against my friend.
God bless and heal and protect you.....

so barely slept last night as the pain was terrible. kept rolling around looking for a better position for my arm. Miserable by this morning. I couldn't get an appt with an ortho no matter what. Went back to urgent care and he said go to hospital asap to see ortho as it may need surgery. Its broken from one side of the bone all the way through. Hospital put cast on it and confirmed surgery 'may' be necessary, but gotta wear cast for few weeks before he decides. Still nothing for pain. Guy that helped me said tell the folks at the desk when done. Then that guy tells me to take 600mg ibuprofen aka 3 advils. no prescription to help and nothing there. just go home and take advil as needed. told him i already have 800mg ibuprofen at home and it didn't help. few mins later he tells me to take 3 advil when i get home. I get their concerns and all but one night of pain relievers alone would have been nice. or hell, something for the pain while i was there for hours for that fact.
I gotta wait on pain a little and get used to having a cast before i can type. Still just my right for now as typing with left fingers hurts like hell. I appreciate the words from everyone though!!

Unbelievable they didn't give you ANYTHING for pain, that they only recommended a couple OTC pain pills FOR A BROKEN ARM. That's just unreal. They have to be absolutely freaked out unreasonable over this oxycodone melt down. I feel really sorry for ya, brother. They SHOULD have given you something.
Anyway... I hope the head feels better, and we don't have to worry about that.
Another day checking in. Reading along but not up to much posting or typing. Did a lot of 3 hour spurts of sleeping since last night, then I wake, up for a bit with ibuprofen and then try again. Now I'm tired.

So today went to orthopedic surgeon who did my elbow surgery. More xrays and more twisting of my arm.
He said no surgery, thankfully, and should heal nicely. Said it was still swelled so left cast 'cut'. Next week go back and the cast closed and reinforced. He gave me anti-inflammatory, which he said he was surprised neither place gave me, and also little 5mg hydrocodone. I don't even care, they will help, and i told him i only wanted 3 days worth - to keep my ass honest.
Got special sleeves arriving tomorrow so i can shower and bathe properly.

I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.
