What’s It Like to Break a Bone?
I’m very grateful that I’ve never broken a bone in my body – there’s no way I could take the pain. I’ve twisted an ankle before, but that’s about as bad as I’ve had it. How did I make it this far in life without having suffered through a fracture? Guess it pays to be careful. Didn’t hurt that my parents kept me in a bubble until I was 23 years old, either.
I’ve signed casts, and I’ve even considered putting on a fake cast just so I could get people to draw things on it. Of course, the novelty would likely wear off quickly – and I’d be back to living with a normal skeletal structure. You haven’t seen my back, have you? It’s kinda not straight, but that’s why I go to the chiropractor on a regular basis.
My ribs usually get out of place every week – for whatever reason. I have to get adjusted quite regularly. Here’s the latest X-ray from my last subluxation. As you can see, I’ve got massive problems goin’ on in there. Makes for a wonderful wallpaper, though – don’t it?
