 Posted: 09/23/05 - 10:03 Post subject: Fractures
I'm bored. It's quiet at the office. I have projects I can work on but I've decided to embrace the procrastinator in me and postpone them to later and start a thread asking a totally random question which has probably been asked here before and makes this thread a repeat which in no time will fall behind to page 3,490 into the abyss of riff-raff.
So tell me, which bones have you broken if any and how?
I broke two knuckles on my throwing hand playing football in 8th grade (passed the ball and smashed my hand on the helmit of a charging defender)
I broke my fibula playing football jr year of HS (don't know how this happened exactly, I just remember my leg started to throb)
I broke a few ribs playing rugby in college (tackled someone and as we fell to the ground, I landed on his spikes)
Share with us your stories.

My foot x-ray last year revealed I had previously broken a couple toes on my right foot, unknown to me previously. I'm sure my left foot is the same way.
This is all I know. The only stitches I've received have been surgical and from a fall as a child I don't remember.

BTW, the heart is a muscle, not a bone. Heartbreak stories should be another thread and include a warning for tears.  SO THERE!

Left collar bone twice - once in grade 5 once in grade 6.
Both times I was laying the smackdown on some jerk who cut in line at the gas station.

Left arm.
Broke it by climbing a fence the summer before 3rd grade. I slipped when going over the top and landed right on it with my body. Complete break, almost breaking through the skin.
Here's the bad part:
I was visiting my dad when I broke it and the hospital there wasn't known for being very good. Anyways, a few weeks later back home with Mom, I go to the doctor for checkup and xray to see the progress. The original hospital didn't come close to setting the bone correctly - the ends were overlapping instead of butting up against each other and had started to fuse incorrectly. So they broke it again.
Me = "Is this going to hurt?"
Doc = "Yes"
Me = 
Most excrutiating pain I've ever felt. I screamed. Had a cast on it for over 3 months.
