‘Spiral fracture in my tibia, fibula shattered, ACL torn, femur broken… Few operations to reset things, put pins in and a cage around it, followed by a pot up to my arse cheek, wheelchair for months, crutches for months after that… What did I do?

‘Stepped on a skateboard.

‘I was 11, the breaks were so bad the surgeon told my parents that there is a high possibility I’d never have full use of my leg again and that it may not grow the same length as my good leg. Thankfully neither of those came true.’

‘Took a drawing pin out of a bunch of papers stuck in a notice board. The papers were pinned slightly above eye level. Paper fell towards my face, I caught it and whipped it away from my face giving myself a paper cut across my eyeball in the process.

‘Trying to explain that at the hospital was interesting!’

‘Had surgery, was still a little unsteady on my feet but I really needed to pee. Wandered off to the toilet, managed to pee without anything going wrong. Brilliant.

‘In my excitement, I celebrated with a fist pump into the air and tore open my stitching. The blood loss had me pass out and cracked my sternum on the bedside table during the fall. It hurt to breathe for ages after that.

‘Lesson learnt: don’t celebrate early.’

‘I sneezed, and my trousers and pants both fell down to my ankles. I then tripped over one of the plant roots from the bush I was in amongst, and I stung my tallywacker on some stinging nettles… I shouted, “Ouch!” and a bee flew in to my mouth and stung my tongue.’

‘I spent a couple of months in a wrist support and had to go to physical therapy. I’d always try to think of creative things to say when people would ask me what I’d done, because “I spent my week off cross stitching too much and so my thumb stopped working” would get me odd looks.’
