I walk with my feet turned out. My parents sent me to a doctor when I was seven because of it, but he said that I would grow out of it. That didn't happen.

I have never broken a bone

once a doctor said something disrespectful when he was giving me a shot, and i kicked him in the stomach (i was young).

when i was very young i had a hernia, and i still remember the anesthesiologist putting a rubber mask on my face and telling me to breathe deep. i'm pretty sure they gave me ketamine during the procedure.

One time when I was nine they tried to give me a shot, and were quite rough, so I called the person doing it an A**hole.

another time, when I was younger, I wouldn't take a shot, so they called a huge huge huge, nurse in, and she sat on me and pushed me down so i couldn't move while they did it.


I've also had several very bad sun burns in my life. I have very sensitive skin.

As a child I walked with my feet at a strange angle and used to wear the soles of my shoes along one edge. It used to worry my parents. My toes were never still either and kept moving and flexing shoes spoiling their look. I was always been told off for doing strange things with my feet. I used to pick things up with my toes and throw them for the dog to fetch.

I walk on tiptoes sometimes for no reason. I also always walk on tiptoes on the stairs. I cannot do it any other way.

I was born with a large strawberry birthmark on the right side of my jaw. It was treated with radiation way back in 1948.

I had hernia surgery about the same time... I remember the doctor gave me a choice between this big rubber mask contraption and a little gauze mask... I chose the little gauze mask I guess I was getting a choice between nitrous oxide or ether... if only I knew then what I know now

When I was 7 I tripped outdoors, and my hand fell onto an upturned garden rake, getting a nasty puncture wound. To this day I always turn an upturned rake over for safety.

I've never broken any bones.

I had loads of earaches as a baby

I have several titanium pins holding my face together, from a car accident when I was 19. It was excruciatingly painful. I was the only survivor, my three buddies died, two of them were decapitated.

I've seen pictures of the inside of my colon.
I've been in four point restraints more than once.
I have to give myself a shot twice a week.
I walk with my feet turned outward and have all my (walking) life.
I've woken while still intubated immediately following surgery.

I had my first stitches when I was 8, and I demanded a second opinion in the emergency room. They had to get another doctor to come look at me before I would let them stitch me up. I needed 36 stitches after I face planted on the bottom of a pool. The stitches hurt way worse then hitting the pool.
I also have an extra lumbar vertebra.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out 2 years ago.
I have never had appendicitis.
I had lots of ear infections as a kid.

i get major vertigo from time to time.

i have had to go to the ER because of it.

my only vivid recollection of my last ER visit for vertigo: i was vomitting into a bucket in the waiting room, while a man sat across from me eating chinese take-out.

i remember being impressed.

s**t; that was me!


I've had one cavity so far too.

I had an ear infection when I was one day old. I had 7 ear surgeries to put tubes in because of constant ear infections when I was young. I think (I don't remember this) they lasted until I was around 7 years young. My mom told me this, I don't remember my childhood I just remember I had 1 million ear infections for no reason. Luckily I don't get ear infections now.

I broke my arm back in the 3rd grade. It was a hairline fracture. However, people thought it was only sprained and it took about a week before they figured out it was actually broken. I had a cast for about 6 weeks.
