    Me too. Only 16 years away.

    2 years here.

    But I've never broken my arm. Or warn a cast. Knock on wood.

    I broke my right humorous 3/4 inch above the elbow (edge of the
    growth plate) when I was five.  Spent eight weeks in traction so
    they did not have to pin it.  Never had a cast.

    Late news I think: it's "humerus".

    Thank you for those horrible pictures.  I already lived the
    experience, I did not need to see those pictures.  I course I went and
    looked at them like an idiot.

    I saw at least one closed humerus fracture when I was an EMT with BCFD.
    I don't need to see any others.

    The lay person's name for the humorous is the funny bone. :)
