[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1990:  In Germany (was there for summer break; Dad was stationed there at the time).  A lovely summer evening, an after dinner bike ride.  Hit by two speeding motorcycles riding side by side.  Totally their fault.  Broken right femur with blood from the bone leaking into my system, crushed left ankle, pelvis broken in three places.  Three months in the hospital, eight surgeries, one year of physical therapy, a year of college missed.  Screws, pins, and rods holding me together.  If I were a horse they would have shot me.  Agonizing pain.  My ankle is still fucked.  Never skied or played any contact sport again.  No high impact exercise. Still have nightmares about it.

2010:  Pancreatitis from gallstones.  My high threshold for pain causes me to ignore the warning signs/pain flares.  Passed out on the floor; rushed to Georgetown Hospital ER.  Hooked up to IV for a week before they could remove my gallbladder.  Glucagon and digestive enzyme levels totally fucked.  Props to Georgetown ER... they saved me!  Always knew that ER would come in handy one day (I live a mile away). [/quote]

Holy. You are cat-like with your 9 lives.[/quote]
