    I've been fortunate enough to have never broken anything! I've come pretty close, but thank goodness I haven't.

    Steve, I might be your only competition in this regard.

    Of the 206 bones in the human body, I've broken 37 of them - with ...six, I think, being broken more than once. These are not good odds! I'm not going to list every finger or toe, but the noteworthy things are below. I like Steve's idea of sorting them based upon body region, so let's do that!

    Fractured skull - over the left eye, hard to see but really easy to feel
    Broken collarbone - left side
    Broken ribs x3 - left side, on two occasions, SAME THREE RIBS (such bulltrout)
    Broken forearm - right side
    Broken wrist - left side, bonus broken thumb and joints in three places
    Broken wrist - right side, twice, in slightly different spots
    Broken foot - right side, metatarsal connecting primary toe to ankle, TWICE in a two month span

    And then lots of fingers and toes and that time my jaw broke and etc and etc and etc

    Don't think I've ever broken a bone before. Don't expect it to happen in the near future either. I'm usually safe and avoid trying to injure myself where I could break a bone.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    To answer Huxley first... No. I wish I was at least then I'd get trout loads of money for going through the pain of multiple broken bones! Seriously, when that trout stops becoming some big pain to you, you begin to worry. I've always justified it to myself that I'm pretty lucky in most other situations so on a swings and roundabouts sort of way, I get away with trout elsewhere, somethings gotta pay the price. Usually with me, it's physical damage sustained to my body.

    Moving on to Loco, dude we should like form a club or something haha... must have broken at least 10 bones to join! Though I feel you have it worse, are you stateside? Your medical insurance if you are must be horrendous. At least for me I get social medical care from being in the UK (gotta love that NHS, despite it being more than a little trout with some situations). I'm yet to break a long bone *touch wood* (not super paranoid bout this stuff but hey-ho no harm done) in my arms or legs, guess I've been lucky with that so far.

    Remind me never to attend a meet-up where both Loco and Steve are in attendance.

    I've had my bones surgically drilled into, so the docs can remove the rotted marrow and replant them with some matching marrow.

    Not sure if that classifies as having broken bones, but mildly it does.

    Ceiladora, that's awful! I can't imagine the healing from that was fun.

    Eh, I usually have spent my entire deductible within the first 3-4 months of the coverage year, so the rest of the year is free healthcare. It balances out about the same, I suppose.

    DISCLAIMER: I am aware it is more expensive, regardless of how often I actually have to pay.

    Oh Hell no, and I was a little kid and barely in my digit age when I've had to undergo the exhausting and unnerving operation. I was put on pain meds and some medication I've still to take regularly. My limbs were pretty fragile and had to avoid physical activities back then but it does mark something important for me; survival nonetheless.

    And yes, I still endure occasional nightmares and some fears about hospitals. It certainly left that kind of decadence in my life but the docs gotta do what they need. They get cred and respect from me despite my anxiety of the past circumstances.

    Breaking my collarbone when I was 13 led to me picking up guitar

    I screamed and cried.

    Answered no, but then forgot that my nose is actually kind of broken and has been for like a year now. Here's to hoping it some how gets unbroken without surgery, ha.

    I was playing with my dog and her giant ass hit my face. She got up so quick because she spazzed at a bag crinkling. Later I went to an ENT with nasal problems and they did an X-Ray on my nose showing it was fractured internally.
