Unfortunately I don’t have any stories about my hell-raising, daredevil youth. Don’t get me wrong, I had my fare share of bumps, bruises, cuts and scrapes; but the only bone I’ve ever broken was my thumb.
I don’t even have a great story behind this one. Me and another kid in the neighborhood were running down the street. We may have been playing football, but I think we were having a foot race. As we were swingin our arms, he ended up hitting my hand (my thumb in particular) and there it went.
I had to wear a cast for six weeks. This was one of the old plaster casts that people would get all their friends to sign. The same ones that started to smell after a couple of weeks .
Actually, I’m pretty sure I’ve broken a couple of my toes on numerous occasions. However, they don’t really put toes in to cast so I never really know for sure if they’re broken or not.
