Fences make bad friends

I have not wrote anything in a while so I figured i'd share my recent "accident".

We where all over at my moms for a cook-out (remember those glenn?) and Kat and I started rough housing - actually she was trying to spray me with soda. And I started running away.

I had the bright idea to try to jump over the fence. Something I have done several times before.
About half way through the jump I realize I jumped too soon and I was not going to make it. Just at that moment I felt my foot catch the fence, and next thing I know I hear a loud crack sound and i'm in pain...LOTS OF PAIN.

I grab my arm (broken 3 times) to make sure its ok. Good it is. Then I realize my shoulder hurts a lot and my arm does not move like it should. I go inside and lay down to try to calm myself down a bit, after a while everyone tells me I might have dis-located my shoulder.

I have no insurance so of course I did not go to the dr. instead I drove back home to quincy, sat on the couch with a heating pad, and figured as long as I can move my fingers and hand i'm fine.
I even helped a little with the babies, and now change diapers.

Two days later and my arm still can't move out to the side, but straight out in front works fine, so i figure another week or so and i'll be fine.

So just remember, the next time you want to do something, ask yourself.... Is this a good idea.
