Pou Pou LePhoõk Dec 2023 5:44pm, 22 Dec 2023 4,214 posts	0 Pou Pou LePhoõk Never broken a bone. Two hospital inpatient visits, one for wisdom teeth, one for a mysterious rash. Looking forwards to being 60, getting free prescriptions, discovering a host of hitherto undiagnosed ailments, and getting free meds for them.

Fragile Do Not Bend Dec 2023 5:56pm, 22 Dec 2023 11,920 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend The only things I’m missing are all four wisdom teeth and a very small benign lump from my neck. I currently have nothing artificial (not even fillings) but it won’t be long before I end up with replacement lenses.
jabberknitmas Dec 2023 6:00pm, 22 Dec 2023 4,464 posts	0 jabberknitmas I'm impressed we've all survived! As a teenager I had 5 teeth out as part of straightening my pearlies out - they were all over the place due to huge teeth from one side of the family and a pathetically tiny jaw from the other. It meant there was plenty of room for my wisdom teeth, so I still have those. I must be wise. I'm also missing my gall bladder, keyholed out in 2006 as it was going into business as a gravel pit and sending out agonisingly painful little stone samples to get stuck in other parts of my body. They gave me a little plastic bottle full of the offending gravel after the op.
I saw 3Ms come sailing in Dec 2023 6:11pm, 22 Dec 2023 22,920 posts	0 I saw 3Ms come sailing in Grr... pressed return by mistake! Aged 8, playing at making arrow heads from old roof slates by throwing them at abandoned cars on a bit of wasteland, resulting in my brother missing my left eye by about 2mm, and a very bloody trip to A&E and butterfly stitches (and a ban on playing there again! ). Over the handlebars of my new bike aged 9 or 10, resulting in damage to front left top teeth, which in turn led.to multiple abcesses and me looking like Pug from the Bash St Kids for a while, followed by root canal surgery in hospital a couple of years later, and 50ish years later, dental implants! Broken right arm in PE at school as a teenager- a pressure fracture from landing straight armed after a leap-frog. I always said PE was bad for you! Chicken pox during my mock O levels, aged 15, started a minor outbreak across the 5th Form! Free from injury until my adult years - commuter cycling on ice times two.

Surrey Phil Dec 2023 6:44pm, 22 Dec 2023 10,087 posts	0 Surrey Phil No fractures although I had a huge black eye when I was seven and there were questions as to whether part of my facial skull had been chipped. A few teeth needed extracting although I do have a full set bar one (a crown). Cancer resulted in me losing my prostate two years ago.
