The unsupported knee swang full 90 degrees with a loud crack and ooooh the paaaaain that hit me after it was too late to react. I think I screamed louder then than I did when the bones initially fractured, the pain on the knee was so sharp. And then I just cried because I was really scared to try to move again, I didn't know if it would hurt even more to straighten it. But that was it, the knee was mobile and fine after that one unfortunate swing :).
The one time I slipped in the shower It was after a series of surgeries on my left knee that had left it severely limited in its range of motion. I had maybe 90 degrees of flexion AFTER supporting it for a few seconds and then letting it settle to that position, incredibly stiff and unpleasant, and when I slipped, it forcibly flexed to about 120-130, and I just about died from the pain. Luckily no tears, but goddamn wasn't that one of the most awful things I've ever experienced. My heart goes out to you.

I've done extreme sports all my life, name it. So I'm surprised I've only broken one bone.

It was during the extreme sport of walking to the mailbox with no shoes on and stepping on the edge of the sidewalk with my pinky toe.

I heard a snap and it was bent 90 degrees. I remember thinking, "I think that's broken." Because I'm pretty smart.







A lot of extreme sports, but I'm also conservative in them, and rarely take physical risks I'm unsure of.


p.s. oh, I might have broken my nose in a fight, but I never went to the hospital. there was a LOT of blood, how does one know?

Your nose is mostly cartilaginous, I don't know if it qualifies as a bone. Unless maybe they are talking about the ridge that separates your eyes and connects with your cheekbones?
 
Zero. Too smart for that shit. Ask an ESTP this question and you'd get a lot of interesting answers. My son is an ESTP... God help me.
Haha, I grew up with ESTPs. Just get ready for casts and potentially surgeries. I hope you have good coverage!
Ok, you're not going to believe this (no, you probably will), but the very next day after I posted that, my son just ran into a wall and got a big gash on his head. We had to take him to urgent care for his first stitches (at 3 years old). My husband told the nurse that they're going to have to give us a punch card for this kid.

Your husband is not wrong. The only people I know with a greater caucophony of lasting injuries than I have are ESTPs. There is a certain honor in that. I gave up too early.
 
So I have broken 5 bones, nose (fell down a slide when i was a kid), elbow (fell off my bike), knee (fell ice skating), thumb (fell skiing), finger (playing football)
