I broke my leg...TWICE...in a 6 month period. I would not recommend it...hurts like heck, crutches are incredibly inconvenient, and casts make showering a whole new adventure!

Oh, and after I broke it the second time, I had to have surgery to implant a steel plate and 6 screws!

The only bone I've ever broken, I broke permanently, as inI lost half of my middle finger on my left hand in an accident at work. That does count doesn't it?

I have only broken one bone myself. I jumped out of bed and dashed for the potty. I ended up in such a rush I smacked my hand on the door frame and got a "boxing" fracture in the small bone on the outside. Everyone here knows i can make a mountain out of a mole hill, so I didn't tell anyone about it untill I couldn't take the pain any more. The Dr. got mad at me for waiting a full 12 hours before I sought medical attention.

DS#2 has broken both bones in his left arm on 8-9-2001. He was playing in the yard and Grandma kept telling them to leave the gate closed so DD#2 wouldn't get out of the yard. The ball bounced out into the street and he climbed over the fence to get it. His foot got stuck between the slats and he fell on the sidewalk. It was really grose, but he handeled it rather well.

My DD#1 on the other hand has broken both her wrists and her right elbow. First time was 8-19-2001(Yes, just 10 days after DS#2). We were at my DBIL's wedding and there was a trampoline in the yard of the place they had it at. All the kids were jumping on it and the parents standing around watching. Grandpa got on w/ DD and knocked her legs out from under her. She landed on her elbow on a spring and broke it in 3 places. Keep in mind we were moving across country just 3 days later. Boy did we look funny at those rest stops and gas stations!
She had that cast off for obout 3 weeks and fell off a swing at school. Broke her left wrist w/ what they call a "buckle " fracture. Not bad, but not good either. Poor kid had two very skinny arms and looked like we were abusing her(Even though we could prove we weren't).
The second cast came off about 2 weeks before Valentines day. DH had bought me tickets to go see Barry Mainlow on 2-14-2002. I was putting on the last of my makeup when he came runnin in the house screaming at me we needed to go. I'm thinking he is pushing it a bit as it's only 4 and the show doesn't start untill 7, then I see Britney laying in his arms all ashen grey. Seems the neighbor kids though it would be fun to dare her to go down a very steep driveway on one of those little foldable scooters. She ran into the car across the street and broke her right wrist when she hit the road. We decided then not to do Valentines day any more.

for Brendan! So far no broken bones here and I hope to keep it that way.

Awww, you're not a bad Mom!!! Never (knock on wood) broke a bone that I know of... I have a couple of times hurt myself and thought I might have had a "hairline" fracture to a couple of body parts but have never gone to the Dr. about it. They healed up soon enough on their own, so I guess no harm done.

I've broken several yet never had a cast. Most were fingers and toes which never get casted and once I smashed my shin bone and you could feel a bump in it but I never went to the doctors but figured I broke something when it still was messed up 10 months later. Oh well too late then to do anything about it right???? I broke a finger pretty good once but it was the first game of softball season so if I had that set I missed the entire season. Now it warns me of rain.
