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?

I’ve seen many, many x-rays in my life.
This one proves beyond a doubt what I have always suspected.

I can tell you – breaking a bone hurts! I fell down three steps (yeah, just three) about a month ago, and broke a bone in my right foot, and three in my left! Been in plaster since…makes getting around quite tricky!
The pain dies down after about a week, but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone!
Great pic – wish my feet looked as pretty!

This is by far one of the better picture that have been made. You should try remixing it a couple of times to see if it gets any better even though it’s good as it is. I like using the program logon studio to take these picture that you make to use as my background when I do the three finger salute, because the windows background is just nasty and gets tired after a while.
I have broke a few bones in my time and it is not fun at all when you cant use your arm for 6months and have to learn how to write and do things with your left arm. Keep up the good work. later

I wouldn’t use this background for the sole purpose that it would creep me out :)
I only just recently changed from one of the backgrounds that you made, to a picture of a MacBook Pro. It’s all about priorities :)

Wow, that looks painful.. Sweet, but that poor spine, looks too much like someone is dead. :)
I must say, the wallpapers look neat, but that one made me cringe. I would have loved to see Ponzi’s reaction to that as the wallpaper you used.. LOL
