Ever been seriously ill/injured?

Post Reply New Topic

Just some,uh, highlights, in no particular order:

June 2008: Broke my right ankle & had to have 2 screws put in. 6 months later they had to take one screw out. It now hangs on a necklace.

Winter 2008: I got whooping cough, in spite of being vaccinated. I was coughing hard enough to throw up for MONTHS.

Winter 2005: Double roll over car accident (passenger), complete with head injury and waking up freezing in the car having no idea where I was

And I've had a whole LOT of dislocations & I've got some chronic stuff.

For some reason this got posted twice so I edited out the text of the first one. Sorry.

In 2004 I had back surgery and afterwards suffered a blood clot in my right leg. Part of the clot broke off and went to my right lung---causing a life threatening pulmonary embolism. Now, I have to take blood thinner for the rest of my life. This isn't a bad thing because I have an irregular heart beat and sometimes my heart goes into arrythmia---so the blood thinner is extra security there.

When I was born my cord got wrapped around my neck. I had to be delivered by emergency C-section. I had at least 45 minutes of oxygen deprivation.

I had Hong Kong Flu when I was a child---a pandemic flu that killed a lot of people around the world.

Am I the only person who's never had any serious injuries? I've never even sprained an ankle, let alone get struck by lighting (wow, how did it feel!)
