    I had a hard cast for 8 weeks and gobbled around, but it did heal well.  The only residual issue I have is that sometimes, when I walk barefoot, my ankle clicks. :)

    Ulna and radius in my right arm...I fell off the crossbars in 4th grade and landed sitting on my arm during the morning recess.  The teacher wouldn't let me call home because she was sure it was okay since I didn't cry and there was no swelling.

    Three fingers crushed on my right hand when a car door was slammed shut on them...and I pulled them out. 

    Several ribs...don't ask.  :)

    Have you, Chloe? This post was edited by Bozette at February 8, 2018 12:02 PM MST

    Wow!!
    You have had some extreme experiences.
    That teacher should have put your health first and let you get checked out.
    The fingers in the car door sounds really bad.

    I was hanging from something in our garage as a kid and I fell on my back and I could barely walk. My mother laughed at me, not thinking it was seriuos, but since then my collar bone has always been higher on one side so maybe it was broken?
    I also broke a rib when I tripped over a dead tree and fell on a stump.
    It healed eventually, but I still don't touch it.

    Those were actually a breeze compared to the dents in my skull and leg and the time I busted my forehead open and insisted I could butterfly stitch it until my husband marched me into the bathroom mirror and I literally saw my skull.  Lol...I have also survived two fires...I think I'm running out of lives! 

    Whoa...I've heard collarbone breaks are extremely painful and I know broken ribs are.  :(

    I hope that you still have some lives left.
    You must be a strong person to want to stitch yourself.

    So do I!  :) 

    Lol, butterfly stitches are tiny bandaids that basically tape the skin together while it heals.

    Just a toe. It was when one of my kids was newborn and I went stumbling through the house one night or one morning in a daze trying to get to the sofa to nurse. I tripped over a toy and almost went down with the little one in my arms, but instead, I caught my foot on the underside of the sofa and kicked its leg. I'm a total rebel. I know.

    Close call.
    Thankfully your little one didn't get injured.

  • Wow! You broke your toe as part of preventing yourself from a fall that might hurt your newborn.
    That will resonate forever in my mind as a brilliant example of maternal love.

    Collar bone ~

     when I was about six or seven - - going down a big-for-me slide backwards, holding my hands and arms up in the air. The landing on the hard ground did it.

    :)

    Oh no!
    Playgrounds seem to cause lots of broken bones.

    None of it would have happened if I had used the equipment as it was intended, instead of some Daredevilish Child Stunt Slider! Ha!

    That had to be incredibly painful!  Elbows are sensitive to begin with.

    Awww..sorry to hear that. The snow must not have been deep enough?
    We used to jump off of a shed into the soft snow.
    You were brave to try.

    I hope you made a full recovery.
    It must've been a scary experience.

    No, never although it felt like I might have pranged a rib retrieving a ball from the other side of a metal barrier for my bro's dog last summer.
