    So this is bike, car, squirrel meets ladder meets dog? Everything counts?

    about 4, fell on a chicken feeder. 7 stitches across the nose.

    took up whittling. Cut my thumb.

    car crash, VW rolled on I5, compression fracture of vertebrae.

    At aikido a guy falls on my knee, torn ACL and all the stuff around it.

    In the kitchen; cooking at Cafe Valerian someone puts the mats upside down, hot soup stock all up the front of my body. Emergency first aid, quick thinking and EMTs at Kaiser you can't see the scars now.

    In kitchen at home carrying block of cheddar cheese, slip and broke my ankle.

    3 bike crashes to date, no damage to Trek;

    rode about 15 feet off a creek bed, tucked and perfect forward roll with the bike, I'm ok. (wheels taco'd though). I meant to do that, been meaning to upgrade the wheels.

    hit bay car on Broadway near College Ave, again took a roll and I'm ok. Bike totaled, scavenged the parts onto the next bike.

    near miss also on College. Emergency right hand turn and saved the crash.

    Don't know if I could do any of that again so hope that' s all folks.

    Right now I'm sporting a broken toe from a chair that stepped into my path.

    let's see...
    Broken hand, various broken toes at various times

    80 stitches and minus one peach-sized chunk of me from bike wreck.

    Spading fork through hand and nicked two fingers besides when digging for worms with sister to go fishing.

    Broken collarbone from commuting bike wreck

    Broken same collarbone in two more places from bike wreck during mountain bike race a couple of years later, also knocked out and had concussion

    Rebroke same collarbone a week later in another mountain bike race.

    Broken rib during fun ride

    5 stitches in arm and 1 in artery when large mirror broke over my back during house cleaning.

    Cut pinky tendon working with exacto knife, to this day I look prissy drinking with the darn thing sticking up (it doesn't bend on the end anymore)

    Broken said pinky finger a number of times because it does stick straight out and gets jammed into stuff

    That's about the worst of it, nothing too bad really. Been lucky in being healthy for the most part.
    I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
