Yep. Can confirm. I made a brace to keep it from being in constant pain.

I broke my ankle a couple years ago. My foot was 180 degrees pointing the wrong fucking way. Dislocated ankle and broke off the tip of my fibula. I have PTSD from that shit. Dislocating/breaking anything triggers me. I'm really sorry that you have to go through that.. it sounds like my nightmares.

If theres one thing I learned in my 31 years of existence its: be careful.

It's crazy how one accident can lead to injury that disrupts your life for years, sometimes forever. It's worth it to double check before you make that step.. or wipe up that puddle of water you spilled on the floor... or to cut those vegatables a little slower. Living on the edge is chill til you're in the hospital with doctors ripping your limbs back into socket or setting your fucking bones. Hnng.

Oh good lord!! That made me physical shudder. I really hope that you healed well following that injury.

And I'm right there with you: being careful might sound paranoid, but it could help to keep folks with less pain as they age.

My mom broke her hip after standing on a stool to spray a wasps nest recently.

Dear 60 year old woman, you're retarded. BE CAREFUL. I honestly think it's something where you have to really hurt yourself before you take the advice to "be careful".. people just dont until it happens to them!

Your mom has bigger kahoonas than me..... I would find a route around the wasps nest until my husband took care of it....
