Druggies make bad friends

haha i don't see how i could be. all i did was tell ya to smoke herb and not sleep.

probably sounds like horrible advice to the "normal" person, but it's all good.

it's L-foote, L for Lauren.... not I for Intense... Intense Foote. hahah that would be a funny name.

 

Honestly you HAVE to put ice on it and elevate it. If it swells you can have permenant nerve and blood vessel damage. After a while the cold should also numb the pain a bit. Don't take Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) if you see bruising, instead take Acetaminophen (Tylenol). If there is no bruising or very little bruising then take Ibuprofen because it is a stronger pain reliver and will help reduce swelling. Don't OD though, make sure you know how much to take and if it still hurts (which it most likely will) you need to bare through the pain. The best thing would be to call an ambulance right away or have someone drive you to the ER. You could have major nerve, muscular, and blood vessel damage if you don't.

 

^^^ see budtoker gives good advice.
i've never had a broken/fucked limb, so i don't have any experience in the subject.

 

ok now your scaring me with the perm. damage..so im gonna get some ice. Thank you so much, you dont know how much i appreciate the advice.

 

1 more question, could i over-do the ice? Or is it just the more the better?

 

It's no problem. I really do hope it turns out ok. Don't keep the ice on constantly, 20 minutes on and 5-10 minutes off should work well. If you get to sleep then try to elevate your arm with a pillow or something because you won't be able to take the ice on and off and you need some way to reduce swelling. The first 24 hours are the most important to keep swelling down because it ussually stops after that time. Move it as little as possible and if you can bear the pain eventually then wrap it up with a lot of gauze so it is padded and more immoble.

 

The thing with ice is it can damage cells if the cells get to freezing point. That's why you should go with 20 with the ice on and 5-10 with it off. You need a barrier also (clothes, washcloth, etc) between the icebag and your skin so the ice doesn't freeze to your skin.

 

yeah i got icecubes wrapped in a washcloth, ill do what you said

 

this thread got random

 

this thread is intense.

 

smokindude, is your arm okaaay?????

 

i went to the docs today, i got a cast up to my elbow. I broke a bone in my wrist and \"shattered\" a bone in my hand. I got some tylenol 3\'s and a quarter 0 of some nice mids with some bday money. Hopefully im chillin with the girl i cant get my mind off so shits atually pretty good right now. Exept the fact that my fav. bball team the dallas mavericks got eliminated from the playoffs last night, it sucks watching all 82 games then watching them lose in the 1st round, not to mention the expectations they had were high, since they won 67 games during the reg season.

 

glad to hear your arm is ok. I hope there's no permenant damage.

 

that sounds EXACTLY like my school it fuckin pisses me off

 

I dont think so, the docs took a X-ray and said there didnt appear to be anything permenantly damaged, i asked. Although i took 2 tylenol 3s, and smoke 3 fat bowls of a water bong. My breathing pattern is fucked, its hard to breathe and i feel like puking. Alleast im nice and fucked up.

 

lol, sound a liitle too fucked up to me! but do waht it do
