Have you ever broken a bone?

Yes I have or have I scatched one? I remember my arm in a sling for many days and getting all the attention.

It happened when I was three years and eight months old. My mom was 9 months pregnant with my brother and we were at our maternal grandparents at Trivandrum. It seems I fell of something and startimg crying (who remembers that, I should have cried) 😃! One of my aunt (I have one too many) carried me to the hospital.

I think my sibling rivalry started with that incident. I really sought attention for myself not giving much to my brother 🤣! Thinking about it gives me so much happiness.

Anyhow years later, I was recognized by a doctor who treated me from a wedding album. (He was a friend of my uncle who married one my my aunt). I did feel elated when I heard that. Okay this is all hearsay. But I will be sharing this with my family for authentication!

A couple of years later, I did fall again and had the same arm in a sling during a vacation in Kerala. I don’t think I broke anything. But I did draw plenty of attention.

The I fell again in Boston many years later while giving my son a bath. I had a torn ligament and surgery. Yup, I did draw attention, as my dad made his first trip to the US to help me out. But my son took all the attention 🙂!

Okay what does this all show! I am just clumsy. Or should I say it gives me reasons for why I fear heights! Or just I had too many encounters with orthopedic doctors! Who cares. I just hope I don’t break anything from now on. I am not young and my recovery would be long!
