Broken foot vs broken arm

Post by nutxo »

So I busted up my foot a few weeks ago. I remember years ago talking to a friend. I had a broken wrist and he had a broken leg and I told him Id much rather have the broken leg because at least Id have 2 hands.

2 hands don't do any good if you cant get to where you freakin wanna be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant even get a cup of coffee !!!!!!!!!!!

i just got over a busted arm a few months ago. i would have to say arm is better than foot. at least if the break is in the middle.

the arms are just straight big bits of bone. they can heal pretty normal. the foot is complicated and has lots of joints and things attached to it. so it seems like it would have a hard time healing properly


pic for fun. that was my right humerus in september

had some broken metacarpels, and I tore an acl. The metecarpals sucked as they are the slowest bones in the body to heal but the acl also sucked with surgery, rehab.... Now the worst thing though is my stomach crap. Just a horrible pain at your core that it doesn't matter what you do it just seems to hurt more.....
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.
