Then he propped up my leg at the break point and drove wooden wedges into the cut in the cast to *bend* my leg bones back to being straight.
All I can say is thank Squibb for making some serious pain killers and me being only 12yo at the time. I'd lay even odds that this compared to childbirth.

It sounds so, so..painful...but how did you make it in the first place?
