how you think i felt, was physically ill, on the bright side now my ankle has a little extra snap to it, like a torsion bar built into my ankle, but it uses pain to make it snap back

That was the interesting part of breaking my hip, I thought it made it double jointed because of all the flexibility I have in it now, doctors just call it hyper-mobility. It's neat.
But still, you win on the pain scale I'll keep my broken bones you keep your wonky ankle.

Wow...I thought I had it some what bad.
1. Fractured my shoulder.
2. Fractured my left foot.
3. Fractured my spine (L1)
4. 2 stitches on top of my head.
5. 4 stitches from a busted lip.
6. 4 stitches from a busted eyebrow.
7. Removal of 2 wisdom teeth, waiting for the next two to be pulled out this spring.
Currently still healing from the fractured spine. Been 10 months and counting. Waiting for an approval for an MRI. Arguably the worst injury I had to date. I am glad to hear all of you guys doing better.

Hahahaha you guys think you know pain. Try having one of the resident doctors to remove a tube that's in your brain. He comes right by your bed non chilant and just starts taking it out with no prep work or pain meds.
Then have a spinal tap going wrong and having piece of the lining breaking into your spine. Your whole body flinches and you're immediately feel like you're on fire.
Let's also include the pressure headaches that were being created by the improper drainage of my brain.
I'd take a joint pain or broken bone any day over that.

Absolutely man. It's nothing to feel cool about, it's just when you think that you've seen it all, some one else comes along with a crazier and more painful experience.
Surgeries do suck but like you said they make us stronger.

^yea, I give you lots of credit. I would never know what you have been through without you telling us. And to think, after all those surgeries, you are still are able to type in complete sentences, unlike the other 90% of SL.
