Which of your bones (if any) have you ever broken?

One finger and two toes.

The doctors didn’t do anything about the toes. The finger: I had to wrap it and wear one of those metal finger protectors for a week or so.

Neither were a big deal.

I’ve been blessed to have never broken a bone. Back in 1972 I fell down a flight of cement steps. When the doc told me I had a bad sprain. I responded “Thank God it’s not broken”. He replied that I would have been better off IF it had broken because he could fix a break. He said the sprain could easily bother me the rest of my life. Here it is 47 years later & he was right. IF I stand for too long at a time, it swells up & throbs. IF the weather gets really cold, it hurts like hell.

I had a spiral break in my tibia. My parents told me I was crying in my sleep. But once I got out of the cast everything has been fine.

Oh my….spiral breaks in the tibia happen due to twisting….with force…

Second toe smashed into a wall in the dark..wore a toe cup..but it never healed so slightly bent.

Almost broke my back ( bike accident in Town) and it was thought that I was paralyzed but later after the swelling,pain and bruises went down the X Rays showed a squashed vertebrae of which it took years to heal and finally no pain and easy movement again.

My nose. I was diving into a swimming pool and hit the bottom. I also scraped the skin off of my forehead, nose and chin. I also busted my lip. I was on vacation in Florida and didn’t want to leave so I kind of popped it back in place and didn’t see a doctor.
Funny story; there I was looking like someone had beat me and as I’m at the registration desk the guy asked me what happened to my shoulder. I didn’t know I had scraped that too. Apparently he was being polite and not asking “what the hell happened to your face?!”

LOLL!! I’m sorry, but that’s funny @chyna! I scraped the hell out of my face on the bottom of a pool being a Weeki Watchee mermaid. Is this not the most pathetic face ever? ;(

My skull and my right wrist.

Skull was the car wreck when I was 3 yrs old. I hear I was paralyzed a week after brain surgery, and thought my hat (bandages) was cool. So good patient.

Wrist was in elementary gym class. Eh, I didn’t tell my mom for a few days, so that didn’t go over well, but afterwards I was a good little trooper.

My sister broke her arm on her metal POW bracelett when she tripped and fell. She was such a damn clutz. And it was my job to “take care of her.”

Toes and meta tarsals on both feet, a couple of fingers on each hand, minor green stick on my right arm.
I’m clumsy and I don’t pay attention.

The pinky finger on my left hand, fell on it fractured in two places and a complete break above those fractures,had to have surgery and it was pinned back together, three years later a bit stiff when I make a fist but thats about it.

Okay, so when you wish you hadn’t asked…feeling a little queezy over here :D

@chyna Bloody hell, sounds like you went in the ring with Mike Tyson!
@KNOWITALL Wow, I didn’t know that, pretty hardcore & lucky to come through by the sounds of things. They breed em tough down south eh? ;-}

Shit. Now my whole body is hurting!
Actually, my most recent CAT scan showed cracked ribs. Don’t know where that could have come from

@ucme I’m not sure how hardcore or tough a 3 yr old can be, but a doctor drove by the accident scene and got help while mom held my skull together.

@Dutchess_III Not sure about you, but my little mama is short and has small bones. She’s broken hers coughing with a bad cold among other things.

@canidmajor I didn’t even count all my toes from bike riding barefoot. At least four broken.

@KNOWITALL No, I meant the accident & subsequent injuries were hardcore & I think kids that young can be tough too.

They said it could have been caused by coughing, but if it was I didn’t know when it happened.

Jaysus @KNOWITALL…who caused the accident?

Just a toe.I wiped out.It does not affect me and I wasn’t a patient as I didn’t go to a doctor.

Okay, so I’ve never had a break, how I don’t know because I’m always stubbing my toe on something, wow that bloody hurts!!

I had stitches in the back of my head when some arsewipe drunk driver mounted the pavement where I was walking.
I had barely no time to react as he headed right for me, just enough to turn my back…you’re not hitting this face :D

Anyway, the bugger slammed into me, hitting the back of my legs as the force sent my head crashing through his windscreen, not a bit of glass remained.

Funny thing was, I never hit the ground, he braked eventually & my momentum sent me forward off the car & running down the road, my shoes had flown off & were found 100 or so yards away.

So yeah, bit of blood & sewn back up, have a scar to remind me of the day, not that I see the back of my head much, unless shaving it.

None. I’ve had sprains, but no breaks. I haven’t any organs removed either. I’m all intact.

@Dutchess_III Mom didn’t realize she broke hers either, but doc said she sure did. Guess the smaller the bones, the more fragile. Makes sense.

Oh mom and her friend were out driving too fast on a gravel road in the country in a VW bug in the 70’s…lol, probably high.

I broke my right tibia and my left ulna when I fell off a 65 cliff onto a beach while in a drunken blackout when I was 22.

I broke my left clavicle when I was 12, flying over the handlebars of a bike in an accident.

Because my leg healed at a slight angle, my right foot does not exactly hit the ground flat. I have some knee pain as a result.

That’s what I was afraid of @KNOWITALL. ;(

I don’t have small bones. Just strong muscles I guess.

You fell 65 feet off a cliff @zenvelo? Jebus!

Oh, I forgot to mention a few years ago I dropped a ladder on my foot and cracked my toe. It didn’t hurt a bit, but I got it X-rayed anyway. The doctor told me that if I didn’t stay completely off that foot, it would break off the rest of the way, and then I’d need surgery to pIn it.

None. I have donated bone marrow a few times for research. The doctor kept complaining my bones were too hard, making the sample difficult to get.

@Dutch, were you really a weekie watchie? Were you there when they did the Don Knotts filming? I have that recorded.

No. I was not. I grew up in Kansas.
When I was little though, we lived in Florida and we went to Weekie Watchee. I was 5 or so. That’s all she wrote for me. That was my life’s goal. If we’d stayed in Florida I have no doubt I would have become one.
Growing up I spent more time on the bottom of the pool at the deep end, doing gymnastics and training, than I did anywhere else in the pool. I practiced holding my breath. It wasn’t until I saw video that I realized they didn’t hold their breath the whole time they were down there….they have air hoses, lol!!
I am now training a whole new generation of mermaids! Landlocked mermaids.

Universal in Orlando has the mermaids, with the air hoses.

Right arm, right hand, fingers, and my back.

My wrist. and that’s it, thankfully.
