5 broken arms:
- Left arm in grade one, fell out of a tree
- right arm in 2nd grade, broke it punching my brother. The bone had an abscess in it.
- right arm twice in 3rd grade (broke it in a different spot while wearing a full cast).
- right arm in my 40's playing indoor soccer.
Broke my big toe, twice.
Tore my:
- calf muscle.
- quadriceps
- hamstring
- Bicep tear in the shoulder (fully separated)
- Cartilage in my ribs at least 3 times.
- partial torn meniscus
Also had:
- Chondromalacia (runners knee)
- Achilles tendinitis
Tried to cut off my left thumb with a circular saw that backed out of a cut. Cut right through the tendon.
Had hernia surgery.
Had my knee drained twice.
Cut myself enough times to have paid for a new plant at the Band-aid factory.
And through all that, I've called in sick maybe 3-4 times total since I started work 45 years ago.
