I have broken my hand and foot but luckily not at the same time
Ouch! I broke my wrist as a youngster, and fractured my tailbone in my mid 20s. The latter was a high force impact of rear meeting steps that I slipped on!
Oh that sounds painful! I thought I fractured my tailbone but was only bruised so I can only imagine!
And it was in MEXICO! So the flight back .... ay yi yi. That remnant of our once-upon-a-time vestigial tails can hurt like a you-know-what!
Talk about bad timing! Could you not get medical care in Mexico?
I did get an x-ray there...but they can't put your rear in a sling (ha!) Healing started when the injured bone and surrounding tissues work together to re-knit...a long process. 
Yeah, I didn't think about that. It does damage to more than just the bone, doesn't it?
Oof. And the *nerves*, nerve roots...totally make up for the fact the bone itself doesn't really "feel" the pain.
That's interesting. Most people like me would just think of nerves on the outside of the skin
The Central Nervous System is the brain and spinal cord...definitely an inside job!
