ok so I am thinking this needs a bit of explanation from me. I am not clumsy or awkward. I am athletic, or used to be. I just don't really feel it you know. Pa9in and I have a here and there kinda relationship. I think that the trait of ADD where physical receptiveness can be overwhelming or non existent is a big player here. I fall on teh side of no feel nada. So I don't get those warning signs that this is maybe too much for my body to handle. until it is too late. Now taht being said. I have had dog bites, and motorcycle wrecks and fallen off of moving cars, houses, horses, ladders, etc. It has been a fun ride to be sure but now at 37 my body reminds me of the carelessness. From the 3 ruptured discs in my neck that are always on fire ...to teh arthritis in my ...well everything. It is like a giant bowl of rice krispies when I walk. My biggest concern is that my kids (I have 4) are destined for the same thing. My oldest is 7 and since he was born we have had, pitchfork in the foot, broken arm, staples in the head (my 2 yr old daughter, and she laughed about it!!!!) 3 holes in the tongue, stitches and stitches, and bandaids and bruises. It can't be good when your daughter walks into teh ER and says HI Joe. to teh orderly.
[QUOTE=bcgirl1978]How many scars do you have? about 6 I think - 5 of those on my knees alone. The 6th is a great big one down the length of my ribcage due to a surgery, so I guess it probably doesn't count if you're only looking for accident-caused ones.[/QUOTE]
The intent wasn't accident caused ones, but ADD or ADHD experienced ones. Some illnesses caused by AD/HD aren't accidents.
But have led to scars and stitches.
[QUOTE=LTC1]How many hospital / ER / other med visits have you had? Only 1 for injury, my horse accidentally kicked me in the shin ( I was skipping school and going riding with my friends. I put a kotex on my leg went for a short ride, and then went to the DR... Left an interesting scar...) I have 2 Kids daughter 26 and son 14 (they account for 2 ) 5 Surgeries. Grand total = 8[/QUOTE] Check this out: I'm a male EMT, and carry Kotex to use as blood stoppers on bad bleeders. They soak up a lot of blood, and are sterile. I get a lot of comments, though.

How many different phsyicians/doctors/pshrynques have you had? TNTC
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Too Numerous To Count is an entry we use in microbiology. So, we'll accept that as a number. TNTC. As in have soooo many ADHD events / week that they are TNTC...
Hey all, if you're number is too much to remember, enter TNTC. Thx
I know abou the kids. That's how we started keeping body counts. He was in the ER 5 times in 13 months a few years ago. A motorcylce accident, he got a spear through his calf (entry + exit + reentry into thigh with a 1/2 inch channel to plug up. That's where I learned to irrigate human beings, and that the medical stitch knot is a bowline, on the small side. Dalk said "learn one, do one, teach one," so he let me participate. Kool. So he had two snowboard concussions, two shoulder dislocations (same snowboarding) and a blown knee. After his surgery, he was laid up for 6 months, and this year survived with only a few scrathes... I'll get him to fill one out soon. Thanks for participating.

How many stitches do you have? I had 3 in one of my knees, and I guess a whole crap-load after my surgery.
How many broken body parts have you had? Just one - I broke my collarbone when I was 5 because I was spinning a tire swing way too fast and lost my grip.
How many hospital / ER / other med visits have you had? Uh... I think TNTC applies here.
How many different phsyicians/doctors/pshrynques have you had? Um, TNTC for here too, but that's because I've moved a zillion times, and also because I grew up in an area where doctors came and went faster than the seasons changed.
