breaking bones sucks so bad

Yeah, not my favorite. I think the worst for me was the skull fractures, although the time I had broken ribs really sucked, too.

Oh I have a pock mark scar by my right eye from a RC car antenna that somehow impaled me after I fell on it or bent over to look at or something. I don't remember getting that one but my mother loves the story.

Bonked my noggin on the rocking part of a rocking chair when I was three and had to get stitches. To this day, there’s a tiny patch on the back of my head where hair doesn’t grow.

But I turned out fine *goes into trance, drools on shirt for five minutes, shits self*

*comes out of trance* But I’m glad your kid’s ok, LAP :unsmith:

i have never broken a bone aside from the tie-shaped bit of my ribcage but that was from cpr when i was less than a minute old so i doubt that counts

Pretty much my earliest memory is the family dog snapping its head around to try to remove my face. My next memory is looking in the mirror at a face full of stitches.

Strangely enough it didn't leave me with a fear of dogs or anything.

Protecting your virginity



I have a scar on my forehead from somehow tripping and falling right onto a hallway corner at age 6. Right under dad’s nose, too. I remember screaming and blood pooling out, then a memory blank to the hospital. Apparently stood up with blood gushing everywhere, said “daddy, I don’t feel so good”, and passed out. Got 4 stitches and a forehead scar that now serves as a great marker to track hair loss with age.

One of my earliest memories is being told to stop fingerling the gaping wound on my forehead as I toddler'd my way around a community College daycare without matching socks. I remember asking my mom why I have a crack on my head and her laughing at me


Edit: I mean it happened BEFORE I was at the daycare. Obviously whatever happened had the memory leak out of my brain

i mean when youre given cpr your ribcage literally snaps in half you do know that right
and since it was immediately after i was born i guess yeah it just didnt heal perfectly
its nothing major though, cant even tell its there unless youre purposely feeling for it, not visible or anything

I'm sure that's true for a baby but I really don't think that's true for an adult, I've given CPR (IDK I'm sure I wasn't doing it right, the guy lived though -- mainly I think the chest compressions I was doing helped blow the water out of his lungs, he was drowning) and I didn't break his ribs, and I remember in health class I remember them saying don't go too low or you'll break the xiphoid process, certainly nothing about breaking the whole ribcage

i have heard paramedics say that if you're doing chest compressions right you will break bone (otherwise how is it going to do anything?)

That makes sense, your ribcage is meant to move with your lungs but not with the heart

hot parenthood take from a manchild who doesn't have kids and never will: don't freak out when your kid falls, they're probably fine, and if you show that you're freaking out they're gonna freak out. So I guess do freak out just don't show it

It had openable "pages" bound with metal on the bottom to increase the overall area I guess. I was doing some dumb kid poo poo and ended up smacking the top of my skull directly against the bottom, there was tons of blood lol

Yea, this is true to an extent. However, kids bodies also have an incredible ability to adapt-adapt to broken bones, lack of oxygen, etc and they won't show it's as bad as it is cuz their body just goes with it. So, sometimes you gotta freak out a bit cuz they don't know that this is (or could be) serious.

Also, hard to follow when your kid starts going into shock.

I've had more concussions as an adult then as a child.

Although my childhood concussion was by far the worst

I started off slow and worked my way up to skull fractures in my 30s. I've tried to figure out how many concussions I've had and I can identify 5 definites and around that many possibles. Like, yeah, I broke the windshield with my head but I don't remember it bothering me much, so I'm not sure if I had a concussion or not.

In highschool I fractured both ankles on separate occasions; one time I hit myself on the ankle really hard with a machete, the second time I was sketching off my friends car with my skateboard and he hit a speed bump and I went flying ahaha.
Then I broke my wrist two separate times skateboarding and wrestling .

When I was really young, me and my brother were playing tag outside and I somehow ran into the side mirror of my dad's car. Part of my head decided to open up a bit, mirror was dead at this point.
My dad took me to the doctor who stitched my bloody head because he wasn't the bad kind of dad that just throws their toddler at a running fan or light fixture or whatever stupid poo poo like that just to get a laugh on the internet.

Still have that little spot where hair doesn't grow.

Also got out of the womb with the umbelical cord around my neck, that loss of air is the most likely explanation for everything that followed.
