Thursday 22nd May – final confirmation of the fracture

I had my appointment with the fracture clinic this afternoon… it is the top of the humerus which is fractured… inside the shoulder socket. It must have collided with one of the other bones.

The only remedy is to keep my arm in the sling until it gets better.

The seat belt could not have broken that bone….

I think my reflex action in moving the car left must have had me gripping the steering wheel very hard at impact. The insurance assessor told me that the steering column was damaged when he looked at the car. So the jolt from the impact broke my arm bone inside the shoulder socket…

I can live with that knowing we avoided much worse.
