Collar bones. At three years old a girl pushed me off a bed.

Several fingers. All sports related.

Hopefully, that ends it.

My one and only, but once was enough. Missed a step getting out of the cargo area of our delivery truck. Amber lamps ride to hospital, 24 hours waiting in ER, surgery, 'nother week in hospital, month and a half incarcerated in a live-in rehab center until I was able to make it from bed to wheelchair and vice-versa without help, then most of the year doing outpatient physical therapy.

I still use a cane to aid in balance when I'm out in the community. Not so much in the house or in the hangar.

I broke my left arm basically in half, right above the wrist. But that’s it.

Fractured a knee as a kid falling off my bike. Broke a pinky toe catching it on an interior brick wall running though my parents house (also as a kit.) The toe was sticking out at a 45 degree angle from my foot.

Broke a tiny bone in my foot when I was about ten, and broke a finger at about eleven. Nothing in the 52 years since.

Shit, you need some milk.

Do you have some sort of genetic condition that makes your bones soft?

I have 3 broken bones in my right ankle as I type this. Hopefully they are mostly healed now as I’m getting to the end of week 9 of the 12 week “no weight bearing” period.

In the past, I’ve broken my nose and some bones in my hand.

Never had a broken bone though my nose did an AWESOME job stopping a backhand shot in a water polo game by making contact only with the other player's elbow just before he could extend his forearm for the shot.

Beautiful blocking by the schnoze. Left red everywhere to mark the occasion. Big Grin

I broke both of the bones in my right wrist playing TOUCH football in a school PE class at the end of my freshman year in HS. Spent the whole summer in a full arm cast. Sucked.

I broke my arm when I was 5. Might have broken a toe or finger but nothing else.

Kevbo, you're the weird one, not everybody else. Smile

I’ve broken

both legs at least once (my left one so many times I’ve lost count, I’ve had 13 surgeries to reconstruct my left leg and foot),

both Arms (my left one three times, my right one 4 times)

several ribs, every finger, my nose many times, every major bone in my left foot, both hands, both orbitals around my eyes, several teeth....I have titanium in both legs, and my left arm....the only major bone I can think of that typically people break thst I haven’t is my collar bone (knock on wood)

I have no idea what the national average of broken bones per person is, but I figure I’ve got to be raising it


Just got me to thinking, how many out there have never broken a bone? Anyone out there got me beat (and if you do, God bless you, because it’s not a contest I’ve ever wanted to win)


I think you should change your SF User Name to Knievel.

Tibula and Fibula twice. Femur in two places and the worst was a broken back.

Nose 3 times if you include the reconstruction, 4 ribs across two separate incidents, and my left arm when I was 4 and fell off my bicycle. I feel like I'm leaving something out though.

If you add torn ligaments to the conversation I can add a few more.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

The tibula is the weirdest bone in the body, did you know that? If you broke it, you would have the tibia and the fibula.

Hairline fracture of my lower leg, dislocated a thumb and my collarbone. Other than that I've been lucky.

Only fracture I've had was a rib in a skiing fall. Water skiing, if that gives you any indication of how violent a hit it was.

My family was so supportive the rest of weekend. It hurt to laugh, and had to lean to the left to lessen that. So a weekend of humor and everybody leaning over to the side ensued. I recall I had several many cocktails.

My doc was very funny; "It's gonna hurt when you do some things. Don't do that." and "Six months from now you're going to have forgotten all about it, then suddenly move/press in a way that it hurts all over again. Don't need to call me for another appointment, just don't do that again."

Hilarious.

Hands, feet and ribs during my Martial Arts phase, but nothing that kept me from training.

Stopped a sidearm fastball with the bridge of my nose once. Heard the hiss, looked up - smack.

Took a step or two back, shook it off and went inside to look into a mirror. Straightened it out myself right then.

Yes, needed surgery later...

As to debilitating breaks, none so far.
