 Poster: A snowHead
|
a response to the thread I started on 'how long should skis last' has given rise to this new thought...
my tally:
- left knee cruciate ligament (road traffic accident)
- left kneee cruciate ligament (again - skiing)
- right collar bone and ac partial separation left shoulder (mountain bike accident)
- small toe (broke it on a bed leg - gives me the honour of joining Joe Simpson, who did the same thing)
- broken back (c2 wedge fracture - stable - (hit by motorbike when I was going through a green light on my bike - central london)
- total ac ligament separation right shoulder - ie grade3 separation (same accident as above)
- left elbow dislocation (climbing fall)
bad tally, but seems skiing is not so much to blame really...

Seems that my lazy back bottom approach to life has saved me a fair bit of pain so far... Of course a heart attack is probably coming along soon.

Thankfully I have only ruptured my ACL once, and cracked a rib skiing (different times and rib wasn't actually skiing it was being pushed over getting on the cable car at Zermat - it was the bindings on the pesky snowboard of the person who push me that did the damage).
I have also torn my medial meniscus cartilidge but that was just painting the decking, and still isn't right and meant my skiing was severly limited when we went in December.
Absolutely nothing to some of you. My hats of to you.

adie, I've never had any problems skiing, as soon as I got near a board I'd never suffered so much pain! Never again I'll stick with the planks.

Repeatedly broken nose - first one was a stupid fight as a kid, one skiing, one hockey, and a couple more punches after that. Mostly from girls, strangely.
Pulled some ligaments in my knee after a fairly nasty fall as a teenager on a ski trip. Never really recovered to original strength, still a bit weak when twisted.
Broken ball in shoulder joint. Put a crack straight across the top, without breaking it off (which you normally would). Hospital was all set for sending me home before I argued the toss a bit. Caused by a very drunk 25 stone American friend "just playing" when we were drunk. We carried on drinking for a few hours before realising something was quite wrong the next day.
Took a whole lot of skin off falling off a motorbike years ago, but managed not to break anything despite the bike and the two mates on the back landing on top of me, none of us had helmets on. Burned my leg a bit on the exhaust.
Otherwise no major damage really. I broke a glass full of water this morning after arriving at someone else's desk in a different office for the day and being deliriously tired when I arrived, sending it flying within seconds of walking in.

Oh, it's other than skiing.
Broken leg twice, 4 x shoulder dislocations, umpteen dislocated and broken fingers, dislocated ankle, prolapsed disc at L3, 2 x broken nose and sprung collar bone.
Too many pulled muscles and damaged ligaments to mention.

Broken ankle 1982- Accepting the challenge of a balletic woman 5ft10 high to see how high I could leave a foot print on a wall - I plead drunk.
Blown third of gastrocnemius 2001 - Bumps at Jackson Hole
Broken Left rib - Skiing 2005 - Engelberg
Broken ribs 2010 - RTA

Head injury (with traumatic seizure) and broken nose 8 weeks ago - MTBing
Broken Left rib (I think the same one as 2005) 6 days ago on a piddling stupid descent.

However on a SCGB holiday this year I survived even though we had 3 people from the group in hospital at once - two requiring orthopaedic surgery, and the other heli-lifted off the hill with a ?? Heart attack...

1 smashed ankle, 3 pins and now some arthritis (hitting the end of a very well made Cheshire dry stone wall in a Mk1 escort)
1 slashed knee( 11 years old BMX racing, " no dad, I'm not wearing the knee pads they slow me down")
Both bones in right fore arm, resulting in one very good looking dangleing arm.
Gash in head(falling through glass coffee table when 3yrs old)
All in all, managed to get to 42 without that many injuries

Also, just had a thought.
How many of you declare all these previous injuries/operations etc for various insurances.
I know I don't declare the ankle.
I know this thought would normally be the job of Achilles.
Thought number two,
OMG I'm getting sensible.
Just figured out how to fix me, off to my local bike park tomorrow to ride off some 10 foot drops, that will sort me out

All insignificant when compared to my mate who was knocked of his bike breaking his back (L1,2+3). Then 2 years later came off again and did his neck (C1,2+3). Unstable in both cases and he got away with it. With his neck we drove 60miles home with it then decided to call at A+E to be safe as it was a bit stiff. I'll never forget the looks from the staff when they saw the x-rays.
