He said all the motivation he needs is to remember just how bad it hurt when he broke it! Apparently it was awful.
Ouch! And he still walked around on a broken hip for three days? Yow.
I think he was referring to when the fracture separated - he didn't really feel anything except sore after his fall. But boy, when that thing let go a few days later, he was in agony! I'll be going to see him again this afternoon. I'll pass along y'all's good wishes.
