I’m just healing up from a broken right arm. Compression fracture from tripping on edge of cement walkway thru dog park. At 64 it takes a bit of time.

Last time was 9/9/75 at 6:30 in the morning on my way to work when a car pulled out right in front of me. Totaled the little Honda Civic out when I center punched the passenger side door with my ‘60 Panhead. 3 weeks in hospital with broken wrist and hip at age 21.

Pins in hip and two surgeries on wrist that I haven’t been able to use since.

Only good thing was that they allowed beer in the hospital back then.

Only damage to Harley was bent tubes on front end Cool


Best regards,

Tom


I have no comment at this time.

Nose, collarbone, ankle, possible bone in wrist (they could never tell).

I think bones are like teeth. Some people have really strong ones and never break them, just like some people never have a cavity.

I've broken my left wrist and my left foot. That's it.

Almost 71 and have never broken a bone nor cracked a rib and I have had a pretty active life.

When I was around 30 I had a farm tractor roll over on me and laid underneath that thing for almost 40 minutes until help arrived. Ten years before that I was riding home with a friend from college on I-90 in WA state and an old lady pulled out in front of us. We hit her, spun around several times, rolled once and ended up on our wheels. I don't remember all that but there was a State Trooper right behind us who filled us in. I can remember falling off of two or three roofs.

Shoot, I ain't no tougher than the next guy so I guess I will just chalk it up to being lucky.

At 73 no broken bones after a pretty rough & tumble life. Lots of fixes for support tissues though like hernia operations, shoulder fixes, etc. Been under the gas some 18 times. Frown

BTW, from the web: “For example, in each 100g serving, Jarlsberg contains 74 μg of Vitamin K2 while blue cheese contains 36, cheddar contains 21”. A good excuse for me to buy some blue cheese today. Maybe Stilton…



Serious about crackers.

It seems that I am not alone. Thank god. I have Broken
Left tibea plateau and tibea 13 screws, 2 plates and two rods.
Right tibea, twice.
Right arm.
Countless ribs, fingers and toes.
I didn’t really mind at the time all was done. Now as I getting older, I feel the aches and pains of the past.

As a teenager, I booked a toe accidentally kicking a couch leg. Think stubbed toe times 10 level of ouch.

Other slicing in to the tip of my pointer finger the long way on a table saw and just catching the tip of the bone, I have never broken a bone.

My oldest son's arms hyper extend and he has broken both of them. My other two children have yet to break any.
