We've just gotten home from the ED with Jak. He's managed to break his right wrist, this time. Last time it was his right hand. Luckily, he's left-handed, but I'm a bit done with the whining, doctors' visits, casting, and more whining that his breaking a bone entails.  <_<

It did make me wonder how many Languishites have broken bones before. I've broken two toes and a clavicle, myself. 

Bones of steel, magically enough.  Probably a lot of tiny fractures never got checked out though...

What he do?

If a surgical operation that removed 4 inches of my right tibia counts as a broken bone, then yes.

Left hand and right wrist. Tell him to listen to the doctor when he says to lift NOTHING with that hand. An empty plastic plate managed to permanently disfigure my right wrist. <_<

Went out bike riding and didn't realize that when he hit the breaks hard the bike would stop and he would keep going.

This child will be eligible to drive in four weeks. :mellow:

hairline fracture on my finger. three actually, two across and one down the middle, like an H. hurt liek a bitch when i first got it, then the pain went away.

Oh, and bruised ribs once. hurt like a fucking bitch for a  week. breathing didn't seem worth it.

I've never broken anything.

He walked into the door... several times



:P

I am : unbreakable. Except my skin, got tons of scars.

I have definitely broken both thumbs; I am pretty sure I have broken all of my other fingers as well at some point.

I also dislocated my left shoulder 6 times and separated and dislocated my right shoulder once in a drunken bicycle escapade.

Left wrist as a child, I'm pretty sure I've had stress fractures from running, a few twisted ankles, many scars.

Both wrists, several bones in my foot that I limped around on till they healed.

Left wrist.  Though to be fair, I didn't break.  Some guy named Peter did.  He was from Iceland or something.  I've always hated Icelanders since.

Oh yeah.  I dropped a car battery on my foot and broke a couple of the little bones in there too.

various sprains. some calcium build up in one shoulder. had one artery leak, but nothing long term bad.

Left foot big toe.
I broke it, and I didn't pay attention to it.
I thought it was just a muscle.
I did a 20 mile foot march with a broken toe.

But that's what the infantry is made for.

You would never understand the pain we put ourselves through every single day of our lives.

You have no fuckin idea how hard this is, especially as you get older.

It does takes a load.

No broken bones.  Physical activity is just not my thing.  In my teenage and university years, I basically stayed home to study or sit in front of the computer all day. 

In other words, similar to what I am doing now.

Had my arm almost ripped off when I was 8.

Okay, I can't read this thread. I tried but it makes me squirm. Ugh, I'm such a wimp about injuries.

Well, I've broke my arm twice. Once when I was a little little kid I was playing ring around the rosie with my sister. I accidentally stepped on her foot and she threw me down. I broke my arm. :(
The other time was when I was a little kid and having a temper tantrum. Well, I jumped on an empty 20oz mountain dew bottle thinking I would crush it. :frusty: It rolled out from  under me and I landed on my arm.
I didn't get a lot of calcium back then.

When I was twelve I was skiing and I fell badly and broke my leg in three places. I had to wear a large cast that was so heavy I couldn't bear the weight on crutches but instead had to sit in a wheelchair. Then, after three or four months the cast was removed and it was decided we would all go on holiday to the Azores, where, because they are Portuguese, they are very proud of their ceramic tilework. So as I descended some stairs on my crutches, that I had to use because the muscles in my leg had disappeared for lack of use, I suddenly found myself flying through the air.

It would later transpire that the restaurant I was decending into had recently cleaned the ceramic tilework of the staircase, and the wet surface had sent my crutches flying. So I broke the leg again. I travelled in an ambulance over cobble-stoned roads, every bump a new pain in my leg, to end up in a hospital where I was placed in one of these hospital beds on wheels, the side of which touched the side of a similar bed with a dying old woman in.

Another time I broke my wrist in a car accident, as an opposing car came into our lane on the high-way, also killing my dog and crushing the foot and knee of my mother (who will never walk properly again).

Broke my kneecap in the military.

I broke one of my fibulas by riding on the back of a bicycle and getting the foot into the spokes.

I broke one of my radius bones by playing soccer.

Both happened in summer so I couldn't swim in those summers because of the casts. :(

Recon artillery unit. I was a surveyor. It was an old outfit that would operate with forward audio observers to locate enemy arty. Of course the job of our battery is these days done by a single vehicle. :P I got to fire guns of the other batteries in our batallion (guns I fired were named Thor and Freya).

My platoon leader was a grandson of Field Marshal Kesselring, though, and the division commander was Falkenhayn, descendant of the supreme commander in WW1.

Never broke anything, my bones are made of steel.
Very little scars, too.

L.

A toe, not worth much fussing.

V

I haven't ever broken a bone, although I have some nagging pain on my right big toe that I fear may be a small fracture. More sprains than I can remember on both ankles and fingers, though. Too much basketball when I was a teenager. I also got a cervical sprain and a shoulder sub-luxation from playing rugby afterwards.

55 years old, never broken a bone. They can probably put on my gravestone: "as good as new".

I broke one of my lower arm bones jumping backwards out of a swing when I was 10. I broke my left pinky finger playing basketball when I was 16. I broke my left little toe in judo when I was 18.

I broke my onw of my left forearm bones at the pool when I was 8 or 9. I slipped, jumped badly and too early, and my arm hit the springboard. Ouch.

I would be overjoyed to serve under a descendent of the man who ochestrated a glorious moment in German history like the attack on Verdun.

I broke my collar bone when I was 2 years old.  That's it baby my bones are made of sterner stuff.

No, I have never broken any bones. I dislocated several numerous times but I am made of Steel!

Never broken anything. Had to wear a cast one summer, due to a possible scaphoid fissure, though. Man that sucked.

AFAIK I've never broken a bone.

Yes, I broke my arm playing baseball.

Like I said before I dislocated mine 6 times but I could never get it to go back in; I had to go to the ER every time and get knocked out to get it back in.  My brother took me once and said the nurse wrapped a bedsheet around my waist, the nurse pulled on the sheet one direction while the doc pulled on my arm in the other direction, glad they didn't spare the morphine that day.  :(

I bet that made a kickass noise.  :cool: When I do my shoulder it makes a loud cracking/popping/grinding noise and it really grosses some people out.

Like a shark.  So it's entirely accurate to say that people's nose are made from sharks.  Also, finger nails?  Same stuff as Rhino horns.  So I'm walking around with a handful of rhino horns coming out of my fingers!

Only a couple of ribs I managed to break by coughing. That was one bad cold I had.

The bony part of the nose is breakble, as is the septum.
