    Didn't see a thread like this so I figured: why not?!

    Please allow me to begin:

    My ankle had a hairline fracture and was severely sprained. Was told by doc that he wished I wouldve broken it. This happened on Memorial Day, back to about 95 % right now.

    After my bike accident, someone made a left in front of me and I went down hard. Shredded through my jacket and pants.

    Track cleats through my leg while playing pickup football. This was back in high school about 6 years ago. I wrapped it with a shirt sleeve and some tape and kept playing.

    Broke my pinky while wheeling a couple years back. Steering wheel whipped one way really fast.

    Have broken my left wrist 3 times. It still looks fairly normal though.

    -Broke 3 lumbars going out a 3rd story window. Long story, don't ask. Young. Dumb.

    -Large gash on right middle finger from a Toyota SUV. Cut it open on a skid plate working at Jiffy Screw. Good scar.

    -Managed to put a fishing hook through my nose as a kid. ER hadn't seen a case of fish hook through the nose before. "Hey dad, I uhhh....caught myself" is the line I used IIRC.

    No major broken bones (maybe a finger), no major losses of blood. No major surgeries. Lots of cuts, scrapes and burns.

    I gotta find mine. I took a piece of aluminum U-channel to the head. I still have the scar. When I go bald in 5 years, my head is going to look like a butt.lol

    Also have a nasty pic from a surgery I had at 23. I had a branchial cleft cyst. They cut along your neck line. After surgery, they send you home with a 1/4" tube hanging out of your neck and a little bottle to collect the pus.

    No pics of mine, but here's a partial list:

    Broken nose x3..last time at 15 yrs old was nasty, still have a deviated septum. Yes I snore..loudly.

    Ripped my left index finger to the bone with a hacksaw working on my old Camaro..too cheap to take it to the exhaust shop.

    Screwed my right knee up in a swimming accident at 16 yrs old. No clue exactly what was damaged but it's never been the same. 2 yrs ago I was on crutches 6 weeks, bursitis and no cartilage left.

    Pulled muscles in my neck..car accident at 21.

    That X-ray is INCREDIBLE.

    Holy fuck.

    It looks like your surgeon did a great job, though of course it'll never be like new. If you don't mind, do you have a pic of how it's healed up?
