Monday Madness 6-5-06

1. I have broken _1 (It was the very bottom of my tibia, or the larger bone in your lower leg! I was 15.)_ bone in my lifetime.
2. I have had to get _a few (I was a klutzy kid, about 4 times that I remember)_ stitches.
3. The worst I've ever injured myself was when _when I broke my leg_.
4. I've had to go to the Emergency room _numerous times (hit my head in bathroom, walked into counter at a drive-in, a log fell on my head, fell with my bike and hit my head, the broken leg incident, and getting my fingers caught in a closing door, when I was a senior in high school)_ times.
5. On a scale of 1 (being the highest) to 10 (being the lowest), my pain tolerance is a _7-8 (I like my advil, when I'm in pain. I needed an epidural, when I had my kids. OUCH! I took pain meds after my c-sections, but I didn't need them all that long.)_.

Hi Dawn- love your MM answers =) ..a leg break must be such a general pain in the ass ...and the leg of course ;)
I'd like to be added to that list of epidural users -i'd been in labour for 12 hours at the point the doctors decide i should have an epidural...eek! ..they ask me to arch my back like a cat would by leaning onto a table, only the high table that i need to lean on is a mechanical one that winds up and down but it was low- and broke! ..everyones fiddling with it whilst i'm puffing and panting in the background.. i figure i have to take control and request they get my dad (my dad fixes EVERYTHING *LOL) so my dad walks in the room not exactly knowing where to look and sheepishly fixes the table then wishes me the best and leaves again *LMAO .. my dad is so wonderful =)) ...bless him

Wanted to stop by and check out your MM. Bless your bones. P.S. I too had an epidural, as I was terrified of labor (laborphobia) in a sense that most people are terrified of snakes. Have a great week!
