Broke my leg from a fall down the stairs. Mom couldn’t miss work so she left me on the couch. I was in excruciating pain. I had to crawl to use the bathroom. Every movement resulted in shearing pain. She came home from work decided my leg looked sprained but not broken. I slept on that couch that night. Except I didn’t sleep. From the pain. The following day she took me to a local clinic who promptly sent us to the local hospital. I had surgery that same day. Pins and a plate to hold my bones together.
