Ten. Ten little things that I have done and hope you haven't

[cabenson]

Aw hell, if Harem members are doing this, I am too.


1. I have been kicked out of The Girl Scouts.

2. I have cheated in my Catholic Morality class.

3. I hit homeruns for six-packs when I played church league softball (got 2 1/2 cases that season.)

4. I was diagnosed with Hepatitis A, got my period, and dislocated my jaw yawning on the same day (which was when my love for Valium was discovered.)

5. I told my boss that my long-term goal was to have her job...in my first annual review.

6. I have stirred poop before most of you have had your morning java.

7. I have played poker for cat litter.

8. I have had my arm broken on purpose and screwed back together. And I have the X-rays to prove it.

9. I have blown three spinal discs and refused medical treatment because the Ohio State football team was playing for the national championship an hour later.

10. I have seen a woman die after being thrown from a car that had plowed into the car in front of me on a busy highway. Buckle up, yo!

Um, like, OW!! Are we allowed to ask why???

Sure. One of my arm bones was shorter than the other and it allowed the wrist bones to slip all the time. The main wrist bone started losing oxygen and became necrotic. So they cut the ulna, moved it down half an inch, took a chunkk of soft bone from my hip (uber painful), screwed a plate on to keep the bone steady, cast me up and sent me home.

I was in a cast or splint for almost a year and 18 mos after the initial surgery, I had the hardware removed. I got to keep the plate and the screws as well as an X-ray and the surgical notes.

And the ortho nurse was SOOO hott.....grrrrrrwl. I called her "The lovely Kathleen". / le sigh
