Have I?!?

Have you ever broken a bone?

I certainly have…

The first one I remember is my left arm/wrist, and I think I was about 5 or 6 years old.  I think it was from falling off my bike. 

A couple of years later, I got a few fingers stuck in my mom’s van door, and from what I remember, my middle and ring fingers were fractured.

When I got a bit older, I broke a couple of my fingers on my left hand when I was in high school. 

Once I went away to college, I think broke the most bones.  My freshman year, I broke 4 out of 5 fingers on my right hand (all but my thumb).  In my sophomore and junior years, I broke my left wrist while snowboarding… the first time I think I also had a concussion, so the wrist pain didn’t set in immediately… the second time I felt/heard it crack immediately.

Since then, I’ve broken a couple of toes, but I know that there isn’t anything to be done for that, but tape it to a healthy toe and let it heal.
