[null and void]

So how did it turn out in the end?

Having two broken arms is a pain in the a$$.

Here's the story:
I broke the radius head of each radius bone, just before the elbow, in each arm.
Slings only...casts cause permanent loss of mobility for this type of injury.
I crippledly searched the i’net for “Broken Arm Pain Relief” because, after 3 pills, one would think that the freaking pain would start to be freaking relieved, of which it freaking wasn't...
I found that Ibu’s are the #1 pain relief for broken arms.
I had just taken my third Lortab, so I called my doctor's home phone on Christmas Day, to see if I could eat an Ibu (I was afraid that mixing the two would make my brain explode, or the dogs start talking to me...).
He told me it was ok.
By the next day, I was feeding myself.
Within two days, my arms were out of the slings (granted...I had to REALLY NURSE THEM, but they were out of the slings, nonetheless).
