Oh crap! I forgot about this thread. Sorry for the late reply Jerry.

Anyway the femur was smashed during a skiing accident. I think that I was on the Widow maker, Spine buster or the Colostomizer run ( watch too much Simpsons). Anyway it was an advanced run and me noob that thought he knew it all. What could go wrong? After tumbling down the hill for about 500 meters I came to a stop and realized that one of my legs wasn't looking so flash. Looked like it had two knee joints. They put a big rod and a few little screws. I was also meant to get the rod taken out but opted not to. Might be a mistake but hopefully not.

The head was a sport injury. My dad wouldn't allow me to play Aussie Rules Football because he thought it was too rough and a game for savages. So I ended up playing soccer instead. Anyway the short of it I got kicked in the head by an opponent and this caused some blood vessels to rupture on my brain. I thought I was OK and put up with the headache. For a few days I had a headache and didn't know what was wrong. I took heaps of Aspirin to try and stop the pain. Had the opposite effect. Aspirin thins out your blood and made the bleeding worse till the pressure inside my skull got so high I passed out. Don't remember too much of anything till after the surgery. I was pretty lucky in the sense that I made it to the hospital with no time to spare. They initially didn't fit any metal to my skull but just replaced the piece of bone they cut out and let it heal no it's own. Well it would have worked if I stayed still like the doctors told me to be. Instead I was moving about and just doing physical things I shouldn't. This cause the piece of my skull that was cut to move and not sit in it's place. The doctors thought I could not be trusted to stay still so they took me back to surgery and attached the piece of bone to the rest of the skull with metal. 12 years on I and other than a scar on the side of my head I have no real consequences from the whole ordeal. Very lucky and I thank the god for that every day.


And just as a side note to all people reading this. If you take a bump to the head and have a headache do NOT take Aspirin or any other drug that thins out your blood. This could be a very bad thing to do and almost cost me my life.
