    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". <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus_fracture>

    That depends on your sense of humor ... and what your right arm looks like.

    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.
