What bones have you broken?

Donegal Dan

Im a few weeks into recovering from breaking my arm and I was wondering what others have done to keep themselves busy when recovering. Im house bound for now so its mostly been:

Friends and family dropping over for tea and chats
Rewatching old TV shows in full and movies and games (that only need one arm!) on the iPad
Starting work on a new online idea I have
Thinking of learning Spanish with Linguaphone or similar
Discovering Boards and other forums for a good read

What bones have you broken, how long did it take to recover and how did you stay sane in between?

you're housebound by a broken arm? :pac:

Lucyfur

Movies that only need one arm, eh?

Why are you housebound? Did you break your arm off completely or something?

FreshKnickers

Broke the collarbone of a bloke who tried to break into my house.

Turned out the poor man was just trying to save me money on me energy bills.

Just to clarify

Its a serious double break and, although Ive being getting out of the house for some drives with friends, its been recommended that I rest up at home.

I'm on this site years and I can't figure out the list function and this one armed dude figures it out in his first post. No fair.

Maybe the OPs house is far far away in the wilds of Donegal and you have to drive there.

I've broken my elbow and had two operations to pin it back together and also broken my nose and jaw (at the same time) and I wasn't housebound! I just did what I usually do, albeit plastered up a bit.

Could be in a wheelchair and would only go hn circles with one arm.

I broke my leg when i got a new swimming pool.
Stayed inside, wrote a musical and thought my neighbour murdered his wife.

humbert

I assume the OP mistyped and meant both his legs. I broke my arm as a teenager. You can only imagine the quizzical expression on my face the first time I realised how it would affect number-twos.

I broke my knee and tore ligaments in my ankle on the first night of electric picnic, stayed there, danced all weekend, and didn't go to get it checked til the Monday. So there.

Pensivepuca

I broke one of the bones in my right wrist 4times.

anncoates

Ankle, nose, collarbone and thumb.

All separately.

I've only ever broken my nose. It's still in need of treatment (I can't breathe properly through it, deviated septum and I can twist my nose around and click it and move it in weird ways), but after having cameras shoved down the back of it without being given time for the anasthetic to kick in, I refuse to have the recommended rhinoplasty. Fcuk that.

To recover, I drank until I no longer felt any pain, then went to the hospital five days later.

Had my jaw and nose broken 2 weeks before a christmas, nothing like been wired up as christmas dinner is being served :mad:

lahalane

www.sporcle.com is a good site to kill time. It's a quiz site.

The only time I ever broke a bone was when I fell over on an ice-rink. Here are the before and after surgery pics

Indeed!

Also broke my sternum, my knee cap, and some ribs!

brokenarms

Five ribs, broken my arm twice, my wrist , my fingers , and ankle and my toe.

Moto X rocks buts takes its toll.

arybvtcw0eolkf

God damn, if I can remember it all.

Left elbow, radial head and scaphoid (wrist) in a motorbike crash.

Left wrist when I fell off a ladder (dislocated my hand, it was fu*king horrible).

Right wrist when I fell off a roof in Lebanon.

Right ankle twice, fighting both times.

Ribs, a few times plus some fingers and toes lol.

Only one kept me housebound and that was the fall from the ladder and only because the pain was so extreme.

When I'm laid up with an injury I'll take the time to study something and really get into it.

Best of luck with your injury OP.

Serious question, what does "broke my knee" mean in your previous post?
I wouldn't have thought there is a specific knee to break

kaimera

Left scaphoid
Left ankle*
left heel bone*
left collar bone*
left shoulder blade*
hairline fracture left elbow

*traffic accident.

brokenarms

only thing that kept me indoors was the Ankle. That was a sore MF and crutches are the devils work.
