Yeah, I was a little clumsy as a kid and loved active sports (still do). I grew very tall at a young age. I like to say it just took me a while to grow into my legs.

I broke my nose playing softball in 7th grade.

The only stiches I had were to have a growth removed from my leg. That came off just before I started college, and people asked me if I got in a knife fight!

I broke my wrist when I was almost 12, I was swimming in my friends pool and I don't rmember exactly what happened but we both fell out, and I ended up breaking my wrist It's kind of a ridiculous story. It still hurts sometimes though and it's been quite a few years since I did that.

I've sprained my wrist but didn't need anything but a sling for a few weeks. I cracked my head open when someone bumped a wooden beam while I was on stage for a play and the set collapsed on me and I had an ambulence ride for my first and only time (so far.) Thats pretty much the worst thats happened to me, nothing too bad.

I had surgury for one of my miscarriages. Broke some toes and a thumb once, but couldn't get them fixed, I was pregnant with Jaden. May of last year I had my shoulder surgury. That was pretty extensive. I had a torn rotator cuff, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and some bone spurs. It sucked worse then childbirth and my shoulder still hurts all the time.

I've had these, too.

Also had another surgery along with those that NO ONE wants to hear about.

Prior to all of that I had laprascopic surgery, when they thought it was going to be as simple as removing a benign tumor from my ovary. Didn't quite work out that way.

Had my wisdom teeth out, and stiches in my eyebrow when I crashed and burned at the skating rink. It was gnarly; blood was EVERYWHERE!

I've never broken a bone, but I've had a broken nose. Ouch!

I have had very little surgery and I want to keep it that way, had my Tonsils removed as a child and some oral surgery for tooth removal and that is it so far, fingers crossed it stays this way.

Ohh enough for my age.

I had a heart murmer when I was small...not sure how old.*Surgery

Then...dog bite, left arm, stitches.

Some sort of thing in my eye was removed..can't remember what, cyst I think? *Sugery

Broke my arm....*Surgery

Broke my arm again....

And maybe 1 or 2 more things...can't remember!

I guess everyone at PT (and the immediate world) knows that I'm recovering from knee replacement surgery.I have a frankenstein type scar running down the middle of my left knee about six inches long. As a kid, I was playing in the woods an I climed on top of a log. slipped off and fractured my left arm.

For luck I havent had any surgery and I hope I wont...
When I was about 6 years old I broke my leg.. I dont remember much of it

[Pam]

Glacier I am glad you weren't my daughter!! LOL! When I was about 4 years old I broke my left arm. I was riding my cousin's three wheeler down a steep incline and three wheelers don't have brakes. It turned over and I landed on my arm. Have given birth twice (the normal way - no C sections) and had a D & E after a miscarriage. Had my wisdom teeth taken out in the oral surgeon's office with IV medication that put me in LaLa land. All in all, not very exciting.

I've had laprascopic surgery to remove a cyst that was about to rupture my ovary. When they went in, they also found out that I had Endometreosis and a benign tumor on my other ovary.
And I've had my wisdom teeth out at the oral surgen.
Those are the only surgeries.

As for broken bones...

*Right thumb twice
*Left thumb once
*Two fingers on my right hand
(I was the catcher on my highschool softball team)

*Right foot once, in highschool doing a cartwheel
*Right elbow falling off a desk in school

*Left foot and little toe falling down steps when I had to much to drink (it didn't hurt till the next morning)

*My right shin falling UP steps

I didn't break my ankle, but sprained it VERY bad when I fell in my driveway wearing a pair of very heavy/chunky shoes that my hubby told me not to buy

The nickname my family has given me is Grace!!!

Amy broke my tail bone when she was born. The dr. said it probably had been broken sometime before that and healed in the wrong direction. It made a very loud noise in the delivery room! I thought the rubber ring they gave me to sit on was something all new mothers got to sit on because of the stitches!

I had my gall bladder out the old fashion way when Amy was 2 and Rob 3 months. Now I have a long scar diagonally across my stomach.

I also had a hysterectomy and a few years later an ovary removed and a cyst from the other ovary.
