Injury Punch Card
It is a running joke in our family that my brother has so many bad run-ins health-wise that he carries an Injury Punch Card for the hospital. Not that he is necessarily unhealthy by any standard or means, he's just damn unlucky and clutzy at times. Case in point, starting from birth on:
- Tubes in both ears.
- Contracted botchulism from bad milk and was hospitallized for two weeks.
- Chicken Pox for two weeks.
- Thrown from a skimobile on a bridge, lands on head (had helmet on)
- While riding four wheelers at the babysitter's house, a hornet flies into his helmet and stings him repeatedly about the mouth. Must be taken to the hospital immediately for epinephrine.
- Dog bite to the face from corner of eye (tear duct injury) to lower jaw (dislocation). Requisite surgery for repair (eye was removed and returned) and plastic surgery.
- Fist through porch window, slashing injuries
- Hammer dropped on toe, toenail turns black and falls off.
- Braces
- Injuries from a car wreck with father in the Turismo.
- Mistepped down from a tow-motor and severly sprained his ankle. This injury also tore the ligaments in his foot and calf, leaving a permenant injury which can detach at some point, causing said ligament to go all the way up his calf. (Doy, won't go in for surgery)
- Contracted mumps on one half his body. Down for two weeks.
- Revisit of injury to ankle after landing badly from a block while playing vollyball.
- Back strain, unable to move well for two days.
- Eye injury at Fourth of July party.
