Seven broken arms taught me to listen to my body

A masseuse suggested the author's right arm was "haunted" due to seven childhood breaks. This led to a realization about ignoring his body's signals. The author broke his arm seven times between ages eight and thirteen from various childhood activities. He previously considered himself unlucky but now reflects on not listening to his body's pain. He hasn't broken his arm in nearly 20 years and now interprets lingering aches as a sign to slow down and be cautious.
