    I was trimming a tree on my property and a big branch kicked back and broke my arm. I said, “It’ll be fine.”

    It’s fine.

      I seriously doubt it was broken if you thought it was “fine”. I’ve broken an unknown number fingers, toes, ribs, right arm (x2), and my femur. In every case, it was crippling, as in, that body part no go no more.

      Had at least one concussion, little harder to judge those.

      Guy was chewing me out on the phone, wanted my manager’s name.

      “Uh…” (His office door with his name plate was directly behind my desk.) “Uh…”

      “You mean to tell me you don’t know your own manager’s name?!”

      “Give me a break! I got in a motorcycle wreck yesterday and got a concussion, feeling a little dumb right now.”

      “Oh shit man! I’m so sorry. Didn’t meant to go off like that.”

          Yep. I broke my wrist, pretty much the same thing happened. I figured I just pinched a nerve, was going about my shit until I finally got badgered into going and getting an X-Ray.

          Turns out, broken. Whoops.

          70-year old neighbor lady just found out she broke a bone in her arm… 3 months ago. She said it was sore but fine, got only worried after 3 months that she couldn’t lift that much weight with it or lift her arm over her head -.- she had a black and blue arm for a week, we told her to get it checked! Even worse: she is a retired doctor -.-
