Well good morning. So KK7Z this is WAA2B and I've had a broken bone or two. The first one I can remember was when I was in junior high school and I walked, it was close enough I walked from the junior high school to my home and in between was a railroad yard. And I don't know if you've ever seen them but they had these big ramps that sat up tall and had a slope on ETN for trucks and you'd pull a boxcar up to them and the boxcar, the bottom of the boxcar is leveled on top of the ramp. So you didn't have to push it, you know, just run things in and out like you're on a level street. And I was coming home from school and I walked across that ramp and flipped. And I flipped, somehow I flipped over and I fell down on my face and my right hand and wrist slammed into the deck. Well guess what? I broke some bones in my wrist. And then, and that was it for a while. The next bone I broke, I still live with kind of. When I was in college I co-oped and I worked in the lab with the local electric power company. And we were on a trip to, I'd moved from crew to crew and I was on a crew that took care of substations. And we were going to a substation and we were going to do some cleaning and we had a big drum of water in the back of the truck. Well the truck didn't have room for everybody and so I was standing in the back of the truck next to the drum and they hit a bump and the drum clapped onto my right foot, just the toes. So I have broken toes, they're like they were when it happened, they couldn't do anything except wrap them up. And then the next big one was I was an adult and I was over at my brother-in-law's house and we were trying to put in a sound system, some rear speakers for a sound system. And I was up on an inappropriate stool and I fell and I cracked my left leg, the femur. The bone comes up and then makes a right turn into the socket, big socket. I broke that femur. But it broke so cleanly when they put it back together with screws and a strap and everything. It didn't hurt because it fit so close.
