Useless Personal Trivia

Twenty-five years ago today, I broke my leg skating. As the event was kind of traumatic, the date has remained lodged in my brain. Once my leg healed, I did go skating again, but only once because I was so afraid of falling that I didn't derive much pleasure from it. I tripped this morning on the way to work, but I didn't fall or so much as bruise my leg. I hope this positive trend continues.

Ok, so that's a long time to remember something. As someone who has never broken a bone but has a 7 year old daughter who has broken three(!) then I can kind of sympathise :-)

*raises glass* here's to positive trends :-D

Well, as my mom has pointed out numerous times, I'm my father's daughter in the sense that I can't let anything go. *g*

I'm sorry your daughter has already managed to break three bones at the tender age of seven. I've only broken the one and I waited until I was nine. Actually, as my pediatrician explained to my semi-hysterical mom after my brother also got injured around the same time as me (when he stuck his fingers in the gears of an exercise bike), she thinks it's healthier for kids to be sustaining injuries because it means they're busy and active. She felt that was better than a child who stayed in doors all the time and didn't earn a scrape or cut.

Of course, the pediatrician may have just been saying this to make my mom feel better. *g*
