2005/6/30 "Impossible" Injury Occurs!Health and Injury Warning!
I have had several minor health problems or injuries since my teenage years. Fibrocystic bone disease resulted in three broken arms and corrective surgery in a 13 month period. I was dumb enough to be riding on a friend's father's tractor with my butt on the rear wheel cover and my leg hooked around the axle when he hit a groundhog hole, the tractor stopped abruptly, and most of me except for my left knee and lower leg tried to fall off - result, few/no ligaments remain attached to hold the knee joint in position. Again, no terrible consequences, though I continue to provide a great source of amusement to those watching me try to get up from sitting on the floor. I've ended up hanging upside down like a bat from the seatbelt twice in friends' cars. I've had an Xacto knife roll off my workbench and stick in my foot while refusing to let go of a glue joint on a sailplane wing to remove it (but yelling for my daughter to come pull it out.) I blew my first lumbo-sacral disc (and several others since then) by reaching for a box of laundry detergent. I almost welded a screwdriver across the mains in my previous house's electric service while I was rewiring an octopus of a wiring setup done by the previous owner. (Doc knows what he's doing - right?) I'm thankful that my daughter (only about six or seven, then) was watching me because, amid the humongous sparkler that outlined me I heard, from two stories up, "What the f*** are you doing down there!?" As has been the case numerous times, my firstborn was there for me. "Its allright, Mom. He's still alive!."
Given the above, I have a new potential for injury to report that I had never thought about, much less considered the possibility that it could happen to me. While kneeling to get Pepsi out of the pantry to put in the refrigerator my knee let go, I sat down on the floor involuntarily with my right foot ending up between my legs. Although I doubt that this is likely to become a pandemic, I feel the need to warn my male readers that it is, indeed, possible to kick oneself in the b***s. Even the cats looked at me disbelievingly. Annie, you are supposed to be taking care of me!
