I was wondring who here has broken bones, which ones, and how did it happen? I have a whole list.
I broke all 4 fingers on my left hand in a motorcyle wreck. Not the thumb.
I broke all but the pinky and thumb on my right hand in a fight. Guy had a really hard head.
I broke my nose 4 times. The first time was as a kid. There was a mulberry tree in our front yard and I used to run, jump, grab this branch and swing myself over the 3 foot high cinder block fence and land on the other side. I did it one time and the branch was wet and slippery and I went face first into the fence. The second time was just a couple of months later playing basketball, got an elbow in the face. The third time was playing football. I got tackled funny and my helmet shifted back into my face. I have a scar across the bridge of my nose where the face mask basically cut me. The 4th time was by a doctor who did it to straighten my nose back out and relieve some breathing problems. That may not count.
I broke 2 ribs on the right side in the same motorcycle wreck where I broke the 4 fingers on my left hand. I think the ribs are one of the worst bones to break because there's nothing they can really do for you. Everything hurts for weeks.
It's not a break really but I tore up my right knee. That's what ended football for me. The initial injury was damage to the cartlidge, tendons, and ligaments. But later on in life a piece of bone broke off the patela and was free floating in my knee. I had to have it removed. So that is kind of a broken bone.
Lastly, I broke the little toe on my right foot. That sucked. I stubbed it on the coffee table in the middle of the night and just broke it. I had to have a complete foot cast for the little toe. You can't believe how much that little toe contributes to your sense of balance.
Well, that's my laundry list of broken bones. What's yours?
