Injuries & War Wounds - Tiggi - 06-11-2010
Any significant injuries or operations involving scar tissue or broken bones ??
I've been pretty lucky:
- Tonsils and adenoids removed age 6
- Gashed right knee leading to a 3 inch scar after landing on a rock buried in the pitch whilst playing field hockey for my school at age 14
- Gashed palm of left hand leaving short-but-wide scar after getting sleeve caught in a metalworking lathe whilst studying general engineering at college at age 16
- Few weeks later severely fractured skull after pillion motor cycle accident on way to same college at age 16
No other significant injuries, or any ops since.
I'm sure there are more impressive stories out there...

All my scars are internal.
Four heart attacks resulting in several angio-plastys, two heart stents and a quadruple bypass.
Already out lasted dad who only made it to four.
I need a cigarette.

Broken wrist - that's it. Been very lucky or maybe very careful or maybe not adventurous enough! Considering the crap they put us through in the military I'm surprised there isn't more. Aaaah but that was back in the days when I was fit and young and stupid. Now I'm old and stupid. And nothing fits. (weep weep)

Perhaps we need to rename this site
Not a great deal to discuss
Scare on right knee from a childhood fall that needed stitches
Three inch scare on right heel from last year's Achilles tendon rupture.
2cm metal pin in my jaw from the tooth implantation I had a few years ago ( I have a great dentist you just can't tell its an implant ):eek:

I enjoy both too much.
Gonna sue big tobacco. They've been threatening to kill me for at least 40 years and still haven't done it. Liars!
And I've watched Reefer Madness. I should be insane now.
Yea, the grandkids will have to face that at some point. We all do.

broken nose-from my brother tripping over me and landing on my head as a child, and a broken shoulder from last new years even when some drunken so and so fell off a stage at GAY and took me down before the band came on stage!!!
