I lifted a very heavy piece of firewood, in a big yank of a hurry, not taking time to lift it properly.
I got my lawnmower tractor stuck in the soft muck soil of the woods. So I needed to lighten the trailer load of firewood. In my hurrying I lifted too hard and too quick, and felt the bone snap.
My arm muscles were simply stronger than my 68 year old bones.
Silly me. Maybe I should be in a rocking chair ???
Even though the body may become weaker and more brittle. As long as the mind truly stays active, we still have strength and understanding from out experiences.

Jim, it never occurred to me that such a thing could happen. It's scary.
I'm glad that I'm not so strong; bones stronger than muscles is better.
I'm sorry it happened to you.
