➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

This sounds like a good topic for its own thread.

actually a more interesting account would be injuries sustained from all the jobs prior to age 25! that’s yet another long list of ER visits, oral surgery, orthopedic surgery etc! even the mention of it makes my hand hurt!!

I would be more inclined to reply to such a thread rather than one about jobs. However, why stop at 25? My thumb is just about healed from trying to cut it off last month.

i’ve been less likely to incur serious injury the last 12+ years as since the “affordable care act” made health insurance completely unaffordable!

I went a lot of years without health insurance. I learned last year that there are loopholes to get around having health insurance without having to pay a penalty. Sorry but I don't remember what it was.

but also and

I’m lucky I never really had any serious injuries or anything. My brother’s have but not me. Even theirs were minor though. My one brother broke his arm in 6th grade and the other one fell one time skiing and got a massive bruise on his whole leg/lower back and they both had concussions from football and skiing. Or at least my older brother did. Can’t remember if my younger brother ever had any. But older one definitely had multiple. Oh and he tore his meniscus one time. That was pretty awful. But not me. No broken bones or concussions or anything.

The most I ever did was sprain my ankle in 8th grade. That year I also happened to get a bad case of poison ivy all over literally half my face and had to go on steroids for it. Rough year.

But besides that, nothing really.

Although I did have a scare one time. We were at some party and I didn’t want to leave so I grabbed onto a bush (thinking that would work? ) and my parents tried to grab me and I fell and hit my head on the ground which, at the time, was frozen rock solid. They didn’t even grab me hard or anything but the ground was so frozen.

Anyway, apparently my head was like a grape or at least part of it. So pretty bad. I had to be rushed to the hospital. Actually, I think my parents drove me partway and met the ambulance cause they didn’t wanna wait or something? Idk. But the EMTs actually tried to take me to a different hospital cause I guess they said they have to go to the closest one for life threatening injuries but my mom freaked out and wanted them to take me to a different one (the other one sucks) so the guy in charge finally was just like just let her got to that one

Anyway, that was the first and only time I ever had an MRI. I had the whole nine yards lol but I don’t really remember any of it. Just my mom freaking out

I don’t remember if I stayed overnight or not. I don’t think so but

Of course they started in on my parents and interviewed them separately and everything cause of course they worry about abuse, etc. like they asked them if they pushed me down the stairs

But it was genuinely just me being an idiot kid

Although one time I did fall down the stairs. Didn’t get hurt though thankfully. Only fell down like half the staircase.
