Huge shout out to Swimmergirl0726 who is not only a wonderful person and writer (although she hasn't psoted anything) but is also a wonderful friend, the kind that you fangirl so hard someone hits a window sill with their head and you all just laugh it off and make fun of how i am clumsy ninja and work with even clumsier ninjas

So Swimmerfirl0726 YOU ROCK IRL AND ONLINE

People tend to forget how inconvenient having broken bones can be. Yes, ribs hurt like all get out and are as annoying as crap. But what's worse? Cast able injuries. Legs, arms. A leg is the absolute worst, an ankle second to it. An arm that goes past the elbow is bad too, and a short cast on your arm isn't fun either, especially on your dominate side. He's just lucky he talked the lady ( he's still not sure if she was a nurse or a doctor) into giving him a short cast when he knows from experience, both his brothers and his own, that it should go over his elbow. The mere fact that he filled a grave ( Dean did most of it, but he still helped) wasn't the best thing to do, not when he knew beyond a reasonable doubt that his wrist was screwed up. He'd broken an arm 5 times, his left twice and this is the third for his right, along with the four times that Dean's busted his left arm (Sam's always said that his brother is the lucky one), he knows how to tell when its hospital time and when its ice and an ace wrap time. And its definitely hospital, or at least clinic, time.

He tried to convince Dean that it was just sprained, but as far as injuries go, he's never really been able to hide anything from him (Dean has amazing big brother spidey senses). In this case, because of his older brothers weakened emotional state, due to the roadside confession, it takes a day and a half before he gets practically dragged into a clinic advertising on-site x-rays and fiberglass (as a rule of thumb Winchester's avoid plaster at all costs).

Its broken in two places. The scaphoid, a small bone in the base of the thumb is fractured but not displaced, which is good, because of where it's at if it was displaced he'd have to get a pin put in and pins mean down time. The other fracture in about midway up his forearm in the radius, the reason that he should have an over the elbow cast, instead of the one he ends up with. The lady positions his thumb out, so the little fracture heals right, and covers the rest of his arm, almost all the way to his elbow, with white fiberglass.

Sam doesn't remember anything until the next day, because the drugs they gave him to set the radius break finally kick in and he's out for the count.

He refuses to take the pain pills that the clinic gave him (well they handed them to Dean but they're for Sam). They make his head fuzzy and he can't be fuzzy if he's trying to save people.

The next hunt goes smooth, and a week and a half later Jo shows up. That hunt isn't as smooth, and ends with a very tense car ride back to the Roadhouse, culminating with finding out that John Winchester got Jo's dad killed, which shocks both brothers, because they're dad is (was) the most self-sacrificing person they both know. ( And which everyone else will argue, exchanging the name John with Dean, or Sam, or both, because, really who's more self-sacrificing than two boys who grew up in a life too harsh for most adults just to try and save people from the same fate that they have.)
