I broke my elbow on Sunday. I was carrying my granddaughter to the truck and I tripped and fell. As I was falling, I moved so my granddaughter would not get hurt and landed on my right elbow.
It is amazing what can go through your mind in seconds!
I am self-employed without insurance.
I am still working, but I am right-handed and will be this way for six weeks. I will find out if I need surgery, if/when I go to the ortho specialist.
Any help would be extremely appreciated. I will upload a video as soon as I can.
The campaign has to be at least 250 words. There are so many ways to say Fell Down – Went Boom, so I reached out to ChatGPT and here is a better story of how I broke my elbow!
At 54, Shelia was known around town as the “Bigfoot Lady.” She collected every sighting story, wore Squatch shirts, and swore she’d one day get a selfie with the legend himself.
Last weekend on a hike, Shelia thought her chance had finally come. A huge shadow moved between the pines, and without hesitation she bolted—phone in one hand, trail mix in the other. But in her excitement, she tripped over a tree root, went flying, and landed hard. The result: a broken elbow.
The kicker? When her hiking buddy turned around, they caught the moment on camera. In the blurry background was a tall, hairy figure striding away. Was it really Bigfoot? The internet decided yes.
Shelia’s ER selfie with her cast—labeled “Worth it. #BigfootBrokeMyElbow”—went viral overnight. Memes showed her racing Bigfoot, arm in a sling. Outdoor brands reposted her story. Even local news dubbed her “The Woman Who Fell for Bigfoot.”
When asked if she regretted it, Shelia laughed. “I may have a busted elbow, but I got closer to Bigfoot than anyone else. Totally worth it.”
Now fans everywhere are cheering her on: fearless, funny, and officially legendary.
