Injury sustained

[Ben Kenobi]

Back home I flipped a snowmobile and one of the skis gashed open my right shin. I still have a scar that won't grow hair.

Slipped and gashed my head while playing raquetball (first and last time!) and I had to have 5 stitches to close the wound.

However, I am the only one of my brothers who has not broken a bone.

I guess in a way I'm an incredibly lucky person. I once sledded head first into a moving car and only got a head bump. I was tossed head first out of a second story window and only got some abraisions. I was hung by the neck and only got a mild rope burn that went away in less than a week. I've been decked in the mouth with a baseball bat. I once spent an entire afternoon babysitting a falling down drunk who waived a shotgun at me most of the time. I played "bambi" (involuntarily)with a guy armed with a 30.06 chasing me. I played Russian roulette (involuntarily) twice. I've been arrested by a stoned Rastafarian carrying a 30 caliber machinegun.

I've never broken a bone or required hospitalization.

I've had a number of mostly minor injuries, usually suffered during the course of barely averting a much more serious injury.

Broken Bones: I broke the two wrist bones and my elbow on my right arm playing soccer in High School. I also broke a finger and a shin bone in a climbing accident, and I've broken (I believe) every toe on both feet at one time or another, mostly playing soccer.

Cuts and Internal Injuries: I was attacked by a German Shepard on the day before my third birthday. He caught me by the face and tore open my chin and tore my left eyelid (lower) down my cheek. I also jabbed myself in the chin while running with a stick later the same year. I also rode my tricycle down some cement stairs that same year and got a concussion. I also fell on a bottle that I was carrying and managed to make a real mess of my hand. All the same year (1964), all but the concussion required stitches. I pushed a door open in the freezing cold and it stuck on a piece of ice. My arm went right through the brittle glass and a vein got sliced, and I lost about a 1" round bit of skin from my arm. A lot of blood and a fair number of stitches for that one. I stuck myself with a small knife in the finger one time and sliced a nerve. This was the most painful injury for the size of it that I've ever seen. Hand injuries realy suck. Lately I've been pretty fortunate, with only a few cuts from climbing that I haven't bothered to get treated. They'd be barely stitch worthy anyway, and I've been pretty good at protecting myself once I've gotten hurt.

I was 7 years old, playing baseball in Oviedo, Spain. I was catching, without equipment of course, and a guy more than twice as old as me batted, hit the ball what seemed to be 3 miles, then excitedly flung the steel bat backwards hard... right into my nose. I still don't know how it wasnt at least broken. All I got was a very large purple bruise (the pictures are hilarious), but now I sneeze every time I'm hit between the eyes.

Well, I don't think I can compare with Sprayber, Dr. Strangelove and Sikander, but ...

1. Stitches in the head as a child.
2. Stitches in the leg as an adult.
3. Half-deaf after surgery as a child to remove a benign tumor.
4. Broken leg as a child.
5. Various scrapes, cuts and bruises in child- and adulthood.

I once got knocked off my bicycle by a car that ran into the back of me. I was thrown backwards and headbutted the windscreen. There was a massive dent in the windscreen and a hole in the middle of it. Luckily I didn't go right through. I got away with just four stitches in my forehead.

The only injury that gives me a problem comes from spraining my ankle about three years ago in a climbing accident. The cracked bone in my foot healed perfectly but the ankle is still not as strong as the other one and aches in cold weather.

I was eight years old. Our house was located on the top of a hill, and I had built a sledding track in the front yard the day before. Overnight the snow froze solid, so the sledding was great that day. Unfortunately it was so great that the sled continued beyond the end of the track and out to the road where I struck the sideboard of a passing car. I was knocked back about ten feet, but I was able to pick myself up.

Almost perhaps, almost. Some people really, really love their guns. Also teenagers, alcohol, and guns don't mix.

Cracked my skull when I was 7. That was the last of a string of head injuries during my youth, multiple concussions.

And I turned out just fine, didn't I, you ****ers?

My brother and I got into a fight on Christmas eve when I was 7-8 and I ended up pulling a muscle in my neck. When I woke up Xmas morning I couldn't move my head. So we spent the first part of the morning at the emergency room.

The photos of me in the neck brace from that Xmas must be destroyed!

Other than that, I've only been hospitalized for a tonsilectomy. And that time I was shot [/lie].

I broke the radius and ulna simultaneously in my left arm, and the bones almost totally severed the nerve in that arm.
