I never thought of taking any photos of my injuries...
haven't had anything bad since long before cell phones
& digital cameras anyway, & it'd be on a Polariod
I've had quite a few stitches over the years
no real broken bones
split my sternum (can't describe that pain)
a hairline fracture (they say broken arm) in my left arm
never any cast, just a sling
I was 18, when my 68 Charger fell/bounce off my chest
weld on some POS 'Grand Auto' brand, stamped steel jackstands
one of them on/under the front, I had the car up on 4 of them
anyway a spot-type weld broke/popped, it was loud
I crawled out
I thought is was the kid across the street shooting bb's
at my car again (long story)
checked the car didn't notice anything
I got back under the car, a while later, maybe 15 min.'s (?)
I was working on putting the trans pan back on
& car suddenly just 'rolled to the right'
I had 1 tire on it on the back 'thank god'
n50/15 on new Cragers I was test fitting
before I went under it to do a valve-body or shift kit in the trans
if I wasn't in the tunnel area, no driveshaft in it at the time
I'd have been completely crushed
16 days in a hospital/ER 1st
my chest looked like I was a Concord Grape, bruising
that took like 18 months to totally heal
had numerous cuts & bruises
mostly doing **** in the garage, almost never at work
Contracting/construction is dangerous enough,
without getting hurt doing it too
I did get my collarbone dislocated (not broken) when
& I separated my left shoulder playing football
making a tackle & the guy rolling over my arm/chest in a weird angle
they set my shoulder on the sidelines & I went back in the game
didn't even know about my collarbone until,
I was taking a shower after the game,
& my shoulder socket/arm popped out again,
then they told me I had a dislocated collarbone too
about a year in rehab for that shoulder,
I never did get surgery like they said I needed
(
edited; I should have said; they taped me up, to hold my shoulder/arm in place
they thought it was just dislocated, not completely separated)
no problems, ever since,
sometimes when it's really cold I feel it a lil'
I attribute that to getting older
I was & still am
not a camera or photo guy
some people take photos of every-damn-thing under the sun
I'm not & never will be one of 'them people'
to soften him up.
