Dakoda says:
Let's see. I tripped over a mattress and broke my toe, I almost lost my eye and got an eyebrow gash from a fan, I have a scar of my cheek from a knife, I got bitten by a kid once, several burns, greenstick fracture in my wrist, torn ligaments in my ankle, torn hamstring, collapsed spine um concussion twice, bamboo pole hit me just beside the eye so I have a crescent scar umm...
On I have a scar on my palm from slicing it on rocks
I dunno cartilage damage in my knees

...
Note to self: buy large amounts of cotton wool
Dakoda says:
I have a high pain tolerance, don't you worry
OH
I also have a cut on my hand where Evan cut me with scissors in 4th grade during spanish
Because he wasn't paying attention and I was holding the sheet and he just snip ouuuuch
Emma says:
You just attract unintended violence
Dakoda says:
Oh yeah also many many blows to the head from all sorts of balls
Also dislocated jaw from a baseball
Emma says:
epic innuendo
Dakoda says:
But yeah, basketballs repeatedly fell on my head. I also played club soccer for three years, so lots of headers
OH
Also I ran into goal posts while playing ultimate disc
I think I was concussed that time so make that three concussions
What else
I probably have a scar on my back from where my brother hit me with a belt
Though I deserved that I suppose. I hit him in the face with a rock and split his head open. There was a 9 year difference but yeah
I've also been electrocuted two or three times
Almost drowned once maybe twice
Had an allergic reaction to a vaccine and almost died
Um
I think that about covers it
Emma says:
What the smurf Dakoda. In my 18 years I've fallen off my bike twice and cut my hand open
oh and one hospitalisation
Dakoda says:
I like to take risks?
Why were you hospitalised?
Emma says:
White blood cells were eating the red ones or something. I was on a drip for a week then I went home.
Dakoda says:
They aren't meant to do that
Emma says:
No, blood transfusion fixed it though
well blood transfusion and some dodgey green jelly
Dakoda says:
I've had some pretty gnarly cuts and stuff from crashing my bike
Emma says:
I was 6 so I don't really remember
Dakoda says:
Well I'm glad you're okay now!
Emma says:
I can imagine you almost killing yourself on a bike.
Mine weren't crashes, I actually just fell. Except when I fell over the handle bars but that wasn't bad anyway.
Dakoda says:
I did this really great one, seriously it was amazing
Went down this really steep hill which I can show you when you visit, anyway
The bike had no brakes or anything
And when I got to the bottom, it got the major wobbles
The handlebars just twisted and threw me over the top
I crashed, bounced, slid for like 10-15 metres
Then I stood up and was Oh okay and then the momentum just threw me back onto the ground
Where I rolled down a hill
Emma says:
How did you plan on stopping if there were no brakes?
Dakoda says:
Into a lake
Good question
