    Back on June 30th of 2002 I was hit by a car while riding my bike! (June 30th was the second day of summer for me) I broke 3 ribs, and my leg in 4 places. I broke the Tibia in 2 places and the Fibia in 2 places which was a compound fracture. When I the bone broke threw the skin it punctured and Artery. I lost 4 pints of blood. I was in a cast from June 30th to October 3rd.

    I was also 10.

    So are the doctors... I lost half my blood... It is very rare that ambulances have blood, but the one that responded did, which saved my life! I have a gimp though. (The gimp probably wouldnt be as bad but exactualy a year later I rolled a dun buggy on my leg and broke it in the same spot!)

    Yup... when I was 4 I jumped off our 2 story deck because I though I was super man and could fly and broke my arm! :(

    I also broke 2 ribs a year ago in a dirt bike accident!

    (I think I just do 2 many risky things!):(

    no arthritis yet but not as mobile as in my younger days but that could be age in that. i've had to learn how to walk 3 times because they had operated on my legs twice, when i was four with 2 leg casts & when i was 10 with have body cast. 1st time i don't remember the stiches tho i have the scars to proof it on back of each leg from just below the knee to just above the ankle. 2nd time they used 5 stainless steel or aluminum wire stitches. 1 in the left back ankel & 4 on either side of the crotch area. physiotherapist said i was in the cast about 6 weeks to long. did i pay for that in therapy! pain!!!

    Oh man, that's really bad ddp; sorry to hear that.

    Takes a strong character to overcome and do what you have done, learning to walk again 3 times and such!!

    Well congrats ddp, when you first see a name like that on a forum it's a bland identity, reading posts like this really emphasise the different lives that join on a forum.

    i'm use to it as i've no choice. had to use my left hand to write for a week or 2 as i'm a right handed because i suffered 1st to almost 3rd degree burns on my right hand from a homemade rocket engine. couple months later i almost blew the hand off on another rocket engine. ahh the days of a 15yr teenager.

    Building model rocket engines, one step short of total insanity. Always scared the living whoo-hah out of me. Never had a problem with thermite or reloading shotshells or centerfire rifle cartridges, but making a homemade rocket engine wasn't in my to do list. Model airplanes/helicopters, way too much fun for a single guy. (Doesn't go well wife and kids.
