Hmmmm.  Lets see.  Brother pushed me down stairs - 3 stitches in upper lip

Miscellaneous other cuts, scrapes and stuff needing stitches, iodine, or similiar.

Broken ankle - 3 places, misc fingers broken, right wrist broken, left hand broken.

Scars - both shins (puncture wounds. MTB crash and the front of a boat), 1 ankle, both sides of lower abdomen.

Maxo-facial reconstruction:  Eye socket broken in 2 places, cheekbone arch crushed, cheekbone pushed back 10mm, dislocated jaw and broken collarbone. OUCH!!

Oh yeah - dislocated shoulder/ elbow and another broken collarbone.  Broken tailbone. 

I always said if I lived to 30 I would be here a LONG time.  It is pretty bad when the people in the ER know your name.  I practically had my own chair.  TOO many walking, bicycle, motorcycle, and car wrecks.  I am doing much better now....although I hurt eveyday.

I probably missed some but those are the highlights.

Broken right arm, 3rd grade (Sat with a deep V shape in my wrist for 2 periods because the stupid playground monitors thought I was faking).
Does Diabetes count? That was 5th grade
Nail through the ball of my foot (through a running shoe too!) in 6th grade
Hyperextended elbow from falling off a bouldering wall (incidentally 2 days before my championship swim meet where I took home a medal in every event I was in..think this was 10th grade?)
Subluxation of both shoulders from swimming (11-12 grade)
Concussion (probably) Got hit in the head with the stern of a Philly rowing club 8+ while putting my single scull in the water. They were turning the boat up the dock, allready swinging it, THUD!!!, "heads up!"...stupid coxswains. That race sucked. I got left out there for over an hour in 100+ heat with no shade. I finished that race hypoglycemic, dehydrated, and overheated (And crying like a girl the whole time).

I got a new one to report! 1/2 inch laceration on foot. Got cut by the metal thingy on each side of the pool where you hook the lane divider to.

Other injuries, which seem minor compared to the ones reported by you all:
- Tendonitis on right foot from running
- Road rashes on left knee from biking
- Mysterious bruises on calves from biking
- Road rashes on but* and shoulder from skating (I bailed on weeds and got cut)
- Toe nail separation from running
- Bruises on elbows cus I kept banging again the treadmill

rcjeffers - 2005-09-16 12:11 PM at the mall a week later trying on flip fops at the mall here in Austin when ANDY RODDICK sits next to me (I'm sure he bought one of everything) and says, "Dude, what the hell did you do to your ankle?"..I tried to explain and he laughs..."You were drunk weren't you?" Of course I was...

College Lacrosse: Broken nose, broken foot bone

Car accidents: Bruised ribs, dislocated collar bone

Other: Broken foot bone (other foot); accidentally drank mercury(didn't die); jelly fish stings; bad burn on my hand from unplugging a heated dip stick from my car.... slipped on the ice and almost dropped the 500 degree dip stick, but luckily I caught it. A myriad of road rashes and hematomas. Nothing serious since shooting an 8lb ham out of my hiney (childbirth).
