People ask me who slit my throat because I have a scar from a throat abscess when I was 12 that was cut out and not stitched shut (at least not outside), just taped shut with hard tape.

i have never stayed in a hospital overnight, and even though I only visited the dentist for the first time when I was 30 or 31, I have never had a tooache.

I have broken most of the major bones in my body, including each finger.

i dislocated my left knee 9 times playing rugby.

I've had both a general anesthetic (when my throat was slit and it would have been too painful to inject my abscessed throat) and a local anesthetic (when I got a filling and when my tooth was extracted).

I had a broken lower arm, 3 times. Just a accident prone kid, I guess.

The only time I ever broke was when I broke my nose.

I broke it on my own knee.

I laughed till it hurt.

Still to this day I have a dent in my forehead from when I ran my Big Wheel into the back of my dad's car (gave me 2 black eyes at the time as well).

I've also had my tonsils out twice.

I found out from my doctor about a head injury I got when I was barely 1 year old. He questioned ME about it, I knew nothing of it. Only person that does - is my mother

I was evaluated when I was 4 for autism and that and I remember going regularly to this place at the hospital where there were 2 or 3 other kids and they would watch us play.

I am happy to say I have never broken any bones.

One cavity so far. (very thankful for that!)

I have a deviated septum when I smashed my face into a jungle gym many years ago. My nose is slightly bent to one side because of it.

Got see my own cat scan (very cool) when I had a severe intestinal infection.

I had orthopedic pins in my left elbow for 15 months a little over 20 years ago...

I almost kicked a doctor in the face while he was doing a test in my 'mid-section' area, so they had to do day surgery just to do the test.

I had a bladder infection around this time last year.

Ten years ago I had a minimal heart attack....I had an angiogram and echo-cardiogram done
and I saw images of my own heart in action, including a partially blocked artery and a compromised
heart valve...
