What do you remember about it most distinctly?

Thing I remember most distinctly would be the neurological issues that persist to some degree 10years later. At the time though, I had issues with speech, memory and impulse control. Though they still persist, they've subsided.

Yup, but much better than the first year or so after the wreck. Luckily I had a friend that took away my credit cards and shredded them a few months after the injury. I was quite angry at the time, and the cc companies wouldn't reissue... Frontal and temporal lobe injuries. 10 years later and I'm still paying... should be paid up in another 5 years....

When I got hit by a car riding my bicycle back in Texas.

The other was when I had urethral surgery and had to pass a blood clot a few days later. Very hot shower saved my life.

TMI! TMI!

Edit: Never passed a kidney stone, but it was probably like that.. from what I've heard.

Thems no fun either.

Other than that, when I caught my scrotum in my zipper.

were you masturbating..?? 😕

Been there. Worst part is knowing you have to unzip to correct the situation

Same injury as Jamie but also broke my wrist and all my fingers. That sucked to ride back the 12 miles to the truck.

On palm Sunday.

I truly feel bad for my patients, telling them to just hug their pillow when they cough. ...especially the ones that get hiccups for a day... eek.

Got hit with a baseball & wound up with a broken nose. Man did that hurt (but not as much as getting hit in the balzz)

Done both here. Three fingers smashed down to 0.180" (surprisingly no surgery, just splinting) in a stamping press. And have passed a few small kidney stones. Largest was 2.5mm. Couldn't imagine the 4-5mm stones I've seen passed. Usually 5 or greater require intervention.

Last spring I passed a 7.2 mm stone.

As far as the fingers go:

The last joint on my right ring finger is fused and screwed. About a 1/4" was amputated from the pinky.

Damn. Well done sir. 🍺

7.2 would have most begging for death...

Kinda how I felt. Still have 7 of the 10 Dilaudid. I'll never forget the six hours it took to pass it.
