Dannie...you need to be a bit more careful sweetheart.

And happykarma, I actually am lucky. I haven't had any major problems. Everything still functions normally. But that actually is the abbreviated list. I only put the bad injuries. I'd have double that list.

Gunshot wound to the right buttock. (Mardi Gras, New Orleans, 1989...I swear I was just an innocent bystander, Officer)

Fractured skull, jaw and collarbone (rolled my car 7 times. 1984)

Broken ankle, wrist, arm, fingers, dislocated shoulder (rugby in college)

Broken the nose 5 times (I used to like to fight, but obvoiusly wasn't real good at protecting the face!)

More concussions than Drew Bledsoe.....

Nothing yet. And praying i never do.

torn cartlidge in my knee is as bad as i've had

Tore the tendons in my foot

Broke both collar bones while at my 5th birthday party. Slid right out of my treehouse and onto my head. I have not been the same since.

I had a circular saw kick back and pass over my hand. Luckily I didn't lose any fingers although the left index finger is without feeling at the end.

When I was 10 I ran into a lampost & fractured my skull. not long after I hit my shin on a metal tray & cut through to the bone, refused to go to the hospital for stitches & it ended up getting infected so I had to be admitted anyway. About 6 weeks ago I slipped in the kitchen, knocked myself out on the metal oven, got concussion, whiplash & a broken collar bone.

A steam burn on the inside of my forearm. I was nauseous with pain.

You really had it bad, huh?! lol
As for me...
Fell off a stage and cut my forehead. It required stitches.
Went through a laproscopy that left me in a lot of internal pain for a week.
Burnt my nose and eyelid from hot steam.
I'm completely cured from all of the above and I'm well, thankfully! lol

Ruptured 5 disks in my thoracic spine

I snapped my tibia and fibula in an auto accident. They had to finish snapping the bone during surgery to screw it back together. Unfortunately, I was AWAKE when they tried setting it twice before settling on the surgery. I have not cartilage left in that foot, so a lot of activities hurt. But, I'm alive! YAY!

I was also riding 'English' when the horse got skittish, I kicked free, and landed on my butt but my chin connected with my knee and my teeth cut through the bottom portion of my lip. My lip was hanging on by the epidermis and I required a lot of stitches.

Broke two toes on a box spring and bled all over the bed & breakfast...lost both nails--twice.

Stubbed the nail of my big toe off.
