Oh Vicki... 
You have had the worst luck with all of your breaks. Ice might also help numb it a bit. And Enchantre's advice about keeping elevated is really important too. Just do whatever you have to to be comfortable as you can.
I'll have to try the "turmeric treatment." I have bad arthritis and am always on board for a natural remedy.

Oh Vicki...
My husband says he's going to keep me in bubble wrap from now on. I know he's kidding, though. I hope.
I'm trying to keep my arm above my heart. It's hard to ice it because it's wrapped in so many layers of stuff, but I'm keeping ice on my hand because my fingers are swollen badly. I don't understand why this break is hurting so badly, for so long. None of my other breaks felt like this.
I take one of these daily.
I'm gonna go look for that now, thank you!!
Here's a couple pictures. The cast goes up way past my elbow.

This reminds me of last night. I have this rotator cuff injury.........a few tears in the tendon in my shoulder. It doesn't bother me too much during the day, but trying to sleep is a whole other story. If I sleep on the side of that shoulder or on my stomach, I wake up an hour later in pain. I can't sleep on my back so the only way that I can sleep pain free is on the good shoulder. As long as I do that, I'm good.
So yesterday, I was at the doc for a routine visit and she asked me if I had my flu shot. I said, nope, gimmie one. She then asked, "Ok, what arm do you want it in." I thought to myself, "Hmmm........." and then told her, "My right arm", figuring that my left shoulder hurts enough with that damn injury, so put it in my right.
It wasn't until I climbed into bed last night that I realized what a fucking dumb ass I am.

I'm sorry you are in pain,@lwien
I just ate 2 pieces of fudge, and I'm waiting for that to kick in before I even try to lay down.

It's not that bad. During the day, I just get twinges if I use it in a certain way. The pain only rears it's head if I roll over on it. Pain totally goes away as soon as I change positions, except last night with that fracking flu shot. It was just one of those stupid decisions that one makes every once in awhile that makes ya chuckle, like, "What in the fuck was I thinking........."
Here's hoping ya heal quick, Vick.

What has been seen can not be unseen :|
So you all want some digs on @dorkus_molorkus, well gather around children and listen carefully. I will only share information in small bits as it can be overwhelming at times.
I had heard from my mothers brother from another mothers, cousins, uncles step Aunty that Dorkus was born hybridised from a human and gibbons monkey. The story goes that her human mother had her removed from her care in the 1930s as the government contractors, thought he was part aboriginal and the authorities were doing an ethnic cleansing of sorts. By the 1970s after she had not progressed past the second grade and had 'failed to thrive', Dorkus was the only child left in the orphanage as the white Australia policy was being phased out and had lost funding.
Dorkus was released into the wild.
It's interesting to note at this point, according to the orphanage records that the newly discovered DNA testing had two years earlier verified that her lineage contained gibbons DNA and no aboriginal DNA. Thinking about it, I expect that this is why Dorkus was taken from Sydney to about 3000kms away and released into the bush.
I did find a photo, circa 1952 that was in Dorkus medical file
http://whozoo.org/anlife2000/joinerhiser/Gibbon25jn01fwze47.jpg
@dorkus_molorkus started to morph into an adult male in the late 70s to mid 80s, this was after she fell into a vat while sleeping in the rafters of the collodial silver factory. It sounds like a slow painful process the way he describes it. (But he generally only speaks about it when he's been drinking)
However when I did last see him he was almost, how do I describe it, transfixed or edgy and upset by this news story....
http://www.news.com.au/national/nsw...-sinister-secret/story-fnii5s3x-1226782804882
After seeing the children in the above story on the news, it took me a while to put my finger on it. But. I suspected that these were Dorkus babies as I was aware that he had been having some contact with his birth mother and birth sisters.
But I will see if I can find some more pictures or even her baby album and post further.

That sounds like my sleeping challenges, right down to the bum shoulder and unable to sleep on my back. The worst is when you have soreness in the other shoulder as well, nothing to do but alternate sides all night. Or just skip dinner so the pills hit harder and drug you into oblivion
But sometimes that back fires, and you wake up in even worse condition depending upon what position you pass out in. But hey life's a gamble anyways.
But it's still so much better since I had the hernia repaired earlier this year--that really compounded the nocturnal positional challenges so I'm grateful for that. And I'm also glad I don't have to wear the old man suspenders anymore. That was getting to be a bit ridiculous!

Yeah, I'll be starting physical therapy pretty soon (kinda late to the party being that I've been putting up with this for almost a year before seeing the doc). If that doesn't work, they're talking about cortisone shots, which is not a cure by any means. Next would be surgery, which I know they can totally repair and end up painless.............if (always that if....) Shoulder surgeries have skyrocketed with us baby boomers.
Weird part about this, is that this is an old injury that hasn't bothered me in about 23 years (happened when I was working on the pullies doin butterflys at the gym) and it just cropped up again a year ago. Bizarre but not uncommon. Fucking aging tendons I guess.

I gave up on physical therapy years ago, along with chiropractic and traction machines because they are all at least an hour or two away, and the drive home always undoes the therapy. But my problem's not in the cuff, it's in the shoulder girdle/scapula area and is actually caused by a neck injury. Surgery, if available is quite expensive and a poor bet for this condition. I'm really looking forward to an appointment tomorrow with a trigger-point acupuncturist, it actually sounds quite promising.
The term actually came to me in a daydream and I googled it. It turns out that it not only exists, the national authority on it is in my state. And she has temporarily located to my little bumfuck neighborhood for a few months so she's just a couple of minutes away! The last appointment that I had was with a traditional acupuncturist that I had been seeing out of faith, and she tried this technique on me and it was the best result I have had with her ever. Just remembered I have to fill out all her forms, fuck it till morning.
Anyways wish me luck, this has been going on for over a decade and I could really use it!

I knew there had to be a logical explanation!!! Thank you for clearing this up for us Campers. But I'm curious about one thing.... how on earth has he maintained his youthful appearance? There must be some special genes in that gene pool......
Bob Loblaw and me was able to come on a nice deal for a digital volcano. Will get it out to me within a week.
Sister started her first chemo treatment yesterday and it seems brutal already for her. I'm headed out for a 10 hour drive early tomorrow and from there will see what I can do for her and consult her doctors for more information how I can help her to stay comfortable, keep her energy levels up, ways for her to recover, figure out what is the best diet for her recovery, and learn more about her diagnosis.
Her next chemo is in 3 weeks I believe for now.

@Campers Crumpet - I have just had a closer look at your avatar & it appears you are sitting in one my camping chairs that you have been coveting for many years.
I hope you enjoy that pic as its the closest you are ever getting to them again.
Now in defence of the inbreeding/ sex change allegations.
We are all inbred here, you know that. So god damn far away from everything & everyone, nothing else to do but shag each other. Especially considering everyday we dont get eaten by some critter is a miracle.
Remember that time we was joking around and I asked if you remembered what your brothers dick tasted like? Quick as a flash in a deadpan face, 'very similar to my dads.' was your reply.
Then there was the time we got on the moonshine you made. The next day you said you was so drunk you went home and blew chunks.
No problem, I often have a vomit when I drink too much, it helps make room for the pizza TBH.
'no, no.' you reply, 'you dont understand, Chunks is my dog.'
I always felt that being born a woman I had been cheated by God somehow. I never felt fulfilled or even had the urge to shave my legs. I couldnt afford the many, many thousands of dollars for a sex change. No matter what vegetable I assaulted myself on the internets with, there was never going to enough money.
I looked into collodial silver as a possible cure for my incorrect gender assignment. Its an advanced horticultural technique that creates feminised MJ seeds, so WTF I say.
I went swimming in a vat of collodial silver and spent several years looking all fucking blue like this.
But unfortunately, as you can see it didnt work I was still a lady.
So after much soul searching and self probing. I discovered I actually didnt have an 8 inch clitoris & some nasty dangly warts down there.
I was a fucking dude all along. who knew?
Good thing my parents named me Dennis. I always thought that was a dumb fucking name for a chick, but its almost like they knew.
Praise Jeebus!
@thewalkingwounded who are falling down, breaking down, break dancing, and not thinking thru who sticks the sharp thing where.
These are for you
Direct from the Dorkus labs to you.
for the DIY inspired
For the furry kids.

@Bob Loblaw its very cool you could help out man.
I have a voucher here for you as well. All pork tho, no Kosher!
(if it helps, you could imagine its a giant clitoris)
