Stupidity Annoys Me

I'm so going to beat you all. I had never broken a single bone until my Freshman year of football (American-style) in high school. Then I dislocated my thumb, and also hairline fractured it. I didn't think it was anything more than a bad stub, so I didn't go into the hospital for a few days, and by the time I did, it was hard to set it correctly without too much pain, so they kind of did a half-arsed job, and to this day I have crooked thumbs (I broke the other one later too).
Then... my junior year of football, during the last 3 minutes of the last game of the regular season (we were up 31-14 but I was still in), I was blindsided from the left below the knee, and my knee dislocated, cracking both my tibia and fibia. I was down on the ground pretty good, but the knee popped back in before the EMTs got there. I went into the hospital the next morning (I didn't think going to the ER at 11 PM on a Friday night was worth it for some reason), and found out that the injury was a dislocation and sprain of the MCL.
Now it gets interesting. I took my senior year off of football because I was way too gunshy to take hits for awhile, so I focused on track and field instead. But I decided that freshman year of college would be a great opportunity to go back out. So I switched from Defensive Line to Tight End (less low hits) and went out for the team. I made it through hell (conditioning) week, but on the third play of the first contact practice... boom. Dislocated knee again. Same leg.
This time I had to get carted off on an ambulance because it didn't immediately set. Which is fun, let me tell you, getting jerked around in the back of an ambulance with a dislocated knee. I get to the hospital and they tell me that the injury isn't that bad, pretty common really, and they give me three days before they think I'll be back on the field. Three days come, go, I'm not back. The athletic trainers are on to the fact that something more is going on, so they send me in for more x-rays and an MRI. Which picks up a BROKEN FEMUR that somehow the hospital docs missed. The MRI was also where I learned for the first time that the previous injury had also cracked the tibia and fibia and partially torn my patellar tendon.
Anyway, broken femur, broken tibia, broken fibia, two dislocated thumbs, and two knee dislocations. Football = wonderful sport.

wow instresting read mate, you had a lot of serious injury, i guss youll win the award of most broken bones in here ;-)
by the way to tell all my fellow trancaddicts...I just been to hospital this morning for double check on my foot, and they said there is no broken bone or crack on it, just hurt so bad, so they undo the plaster and just raped it with a normal bandage, still have to use sticks and I cant walk for like a week or 2, but im glad its not something very serious!! WOOHOO!! i hate broken bones!!!
Have fun! ^__^
