    So, I’m a professional cultz and unintentional dare devil I have many.

    The have cracked my skull open twice.
    Broke my jawbone.
    Fell down a flight of stairs and tore every ligament tendon and muscle in my right leg from the waist down
    Dislocated collarbone
    Dislocated knee
    Multiple concussions
    Dislocated wrist and torn ligaments (volley ball injury)
    And when I was a cook way back when I chopped my own thumb off in the kitchen. Duck taped that sum Bish back on gloves up and finished the rush before I went to the hospital.
    2 child births no drugs
    I also waited until my gallbladder actually ruptured and I almost died of sepsis before going to the hospital

    Because I am a crazy person, with an ungodly high tolerance to pain. There’s a reason for that but too lazy to type out all the details.

    I've been struck by lightning.
    This is one of my Lichtenberg scars after about a week of healing. They were all over from my feet al the way up the back of my head onto my forehead.

    I'd be so bitter if I was struck by lightning and didn't get superpowers from it. I think your scars are bad@$$.

    A sprained ankle. Slipped on some wet pavement. The pain was so intense I thought for sure it was broken. Luckily it was just a sprain, but it swelled up to the size of a softball for a few days 😫

    Some of those sprains are nasty! I had a doctor tell me once that they can be more painful and a lot harder to heal that just a clean break.

    Yes my Dr told me the same thing! She said a clean break would have actually been easier to heal. Crazy!

    Yep, I got the same speech. Twice as long, never as strong.

    This is so true! It caused me pain on & off for at least a year. It still bothers me on occasion, especially if I try to wear heels.

    I have 2 scars on the back of my head from being cracked open twice. I can only snap one on my own

    "Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory...lasts forever."
    Bonus points if you know where it's from. ;)

    But in all seriousness, head injuries are no bueno.

    I've had 2 casts on me. One, I was about 4 years old, and fashioned a ladder from a too-short segment of a white picket fence. Standing at the top of the too-vertical position of the 'ladder', I over-balanced and the whole assemble went down I broke my left arm. The bone did not penetrate the skin. That was my worst. Later, in 9th grade football practice, I torqued a bone in my ankle enough to get a fracture. I missed the whole season with a cast on my leg.

    oh that reminds me.
    i've been sliced deep with a bread knife on my knuckles
    nose possibly broken trying to catch a fly ball. i squished it back, it crunched, no long lasting issues
    i was cut by a metal broom while breaking a pinata.
    we didn't know we were going to break our own so my partner and i made it extra hard. no one had a bat so we were using a broom with the bottom screwed off. i was blind folded. they handed me the sharp end. i hit that sucker and it vibrated all the way down my arm. a few more times and it broke. while picking up the candy, i saw red spots on the ground. scar from my pinky across my palm. can't feel in the area of the scar

    also i have a habit of putting hot pans on the counter. counter not made for hot things. so i grab them. lost some feeling in my thumbs from regular burns

    Burned approximately half my body when I was young. Spent 3 weeks in a Burn Ward. Another month in the hospital. Almost blinded in my left eye. Doctors wanted to amputate my left arm, but my father wouldn't let them. I forget about the scars until some says "What did you do to your arm?"

    Fractured wrist from drinking too much beer...
    3 broken toes from running upstairs and tripping..
    ETA: sliced open palm by dropping a glass of beer...6 stitches

    Those aren't really bad injuries...more like dumb injuries.

    Broke my collarbone when my brother jumped on me.
    Broke my arm falling while trying to lift my brother.
    Broke my other arm while being pulled along downhill in a big wheel tied to the back of my brother's bike.

    Notice a theme here?

    Busted my chin open but can't blame that on him. :)

    I bet if you tried really hard you could find a way to blame your brother for the chin

    I ran into the side of a running car when I was 6. My foot got caught up in the drive shaft and was torn all up. I spend a month in the hospital and had 3 skin grafts over the next 3 years because the first two grafts didn't heal properly. The last graft came from the side of my butt. So for years I will show people my "butt" by lifting up my pants and pulling down my sock.

    Well, I guess if he had been at the park with me when I made the bright decision to try and skip 4 of the monkey bars, he could've talked some sense into me. So it could be his fault for not being there?

    (Though in all honesty, he probably would've told me to try for 5)

    Fotra love brothers. I blame him for one of my concussions. He fell on my head
