Never broken a bone
I was thunking this evening. I've never broken a bone or had a bone broken. My nose has been messed up a few times but that is cartilage. I'm mid forties and never had a broken bone in spite of doing some fairly dangerous stuff over those years. Am I alone? -- Wm... Reply-To: address valid for at least 7 days |

I read a year or so ago that on average people in the USA break two bones in their lifetime. One the other hand I have broken my leg once (distal fractures to left tibia and fibia), my right arm once (proximal fracture to the ulna and a small bone in my wrist), plus I think ribs on one or two occasions.

As a kid I broke my arm falling of a climbing frame. I broke the other arm falling over getting out of the bath. As an adult I've broken both thumbs (not at the same time) skiing. I've broken my elbow (knocked off a bike). I've broken my leg (knocked off a bike). I've broken a toe playing barefoot beach football. I've broken my collar bone (fall whilst mountain biking). |

Until last week I had survived 51 years with no broken bones, but then I'd settle for a broken bone rather than a coronary, stroke or cancer at my age. -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

I've lived almost as long, also with no broken bones. I rather like a .sig from another place: "Quit worrying about your health. It'll go away in the end." -- MatSav |

I'm 50 and I've broken bones in other people, does that count? |
