how many broken bones have you suffered?

Despite how clumsy I am (falling down a waterfall, hitting every doorway, tripping on air, etc.) I have never broken any bones. Torn ligaments and tendons in my knee, fractured my foot, twisted many an ankle; yes but never broken a bone.


If I break a bone after posting this....
 
April 2011 bicycle riding crash resulting in minor broken neck and right collar bone. Luckily only 24hrs/day for 16 weeks in neck brace.
April 2020 bicycle night ride at 1:25AM a wild hog side swipes me with crash resulting in 2 cracked ribs/punctured lung and cracked scapula.
July 2022 bicycle night ride at 3:04AM a wild hog T bones my left leg fracturing the Tibia.
There's a pattern here- and a message! Those sound like horrible injuries and I hope you are fully healed!

Broke my left arm ice skating when I was 9. Broke my right arm ice skating when I was 10. I decided my ice skating days were over.

Broke my left pinkie in 7 places playing basketball when I was 16.

Broke my right baby toe by catching it on a stack of journals while walking thru a room in the dark when I was 40.

Also, I separated my pelvis giving birth when I was 37. Don't know if this "counts" or not but they treat it the same was as if it'd been broken.
 

Ribs - 3
Feet - 3
Toes - too many to count
Fingers - 2
Tail bone - 1
Ankle - 1
Thankfully, nothing bigger than that
 
Once - that I know of. Had a bike accident with a car and although I had a bunch of injuries (everyone - always wear a helmet) I thought that I had sprained my wrist from the impact with the car. After a month it was still feeling sore and I went to the campus hospital where I got traditional X-rays taken directly by a doctor. The doctor said he didn't see anything unusual and he thought it was likely just a sprain that was slow healing. Then I got a call a week later indicating that another radiologist there regularly went through X-rays and thought there was a barely visible (and healing) hairline fracture. So that would have been the reason why it wasn't healing. It didn't require any kind of treatment.

I suppose I might have had previous fractures that I never knew about.
