Thread: Rojo inspired me to ask about broken bones...

Fingers and toes. All from sports. Football, wrestling, Rugby and martial arts. I found out the hard way that a broken big toe will put you on crutches

Ringer finger right hand , line drive bad hop
Left elbow fell while jumping over a bush trying to escape an agitated hornet nest.
My nose playing touch football, drove the center back in my face on the snap , that smarted for sure
3 bones on my right hand on a fellas face that thunk he was something special
…..but they needed more sutures than anything else for me ….…
I got so many stitches from literally , head to toe it ain’t even funny
Jumped out of our boat one day barefooted to land us on shore and in about 2 fow was a broken bottle, it bought took my big toe completely off ….remember that one really well for sure

I broke both ankles as a youth playing sports. I broke both great toes simultaneously being stupid. I broke fingers on a grain elevator at Grandmas farm. I broke 4 ribs on the left side wrestling.

I broke my wrist when I was 6, tore all my legiments and tendens in my ankle in football. Tore up my thumb pretty good trying to ride bulls. Got kicked in the temple by a horse.

I had a Honda XR-250 which was very good in the woods, but I found out they weren't nearly as good on a motocross track. I got a wild hare about riding a moto race and so I did. Between the XR-250 and my lack of skill, I managed to break some bones. All of my competitors were younger than I was and it was in the middle of the season, so they did have some experience on me. After one lap I was in last place and decided that I wasn't going to let that happen. It was a bad mistake to think that. I charged into the whoops and lost total control of my bike. When I was being x-rayed at the ER, I asked the technician how many ribs were broken, and she replied that to her untrained eye she could count six. I never did ask the doctor what the official count was though. As mentioned in a previous post that broken ribs were the worst, I have to agree. I put the pain level right up there with kidney stones.

Needless to say, that was the end of my motocross career. I did go on to race two hare scrambles and won both in my class.

No breaky breaky for Pappy.
