Broken and Fractured

Many years ago a truly tragic event took place. My family always goes up to my uncle Lon's house in Newdale, Idaho for the Easter holiday. We usually spend four or five days there and it is way fun! But one year, at least for me, it wasn't so fun because of a accident on the trampoline. My uncle Lon has a deck in his backyard and right below it is a trampoline. So us kids were all taking turns jumping off the deck onto the tramp and having the funnest time of our lives. One time right when I was about to jump my brother had this awesome idea to lift my hands off the deck so that I would just fall onto the tramp. As he detached my arms from safe wooded object I knew that it was not going to be good. I should mention that in between the deck and the tramp there is about a twenty foot gap. So yes I did fall but not exactly onto the tramp. My back smacked the metal bar of the tramp and the momentum was so strong that I was thrown onto my face with a loud thump to the ground! I couldn't move my arm for about 3 hours afterwards. I thought that I was never going to be able to use it again. But slowly I could move it again and we went to the doctor to find our what I had broken. It ended up that I fractured my shoulder blade and I was better in about 3 months. But the pain of smacking that metal bar was excruciating. All of the other years at uncle Lon's were wonderful and enjoyable.
