The shattered collarbone.
01/31/2021
I shattered my collarbone in five places, as well as my top three ribs by coming head first over The Horse.
This was the cause of The Stroke. A stupid accident on a beautiful day. A loop recorder was put by my heart to rule out any heart problems. I have no family history of strokes and I have never had high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
The broken wrist.

Well … I tripped and fell over a broom coming into the kitchen from the laundry room.
I wasn’t able to catch myself in time and landed with the back of my hand bent under. (I apparently decided in that split second to not land on the laundry basket.) I broke my radial bone in three places, and took a chip out of the end of my ulna.
I seriously need to stop breaking myself. NOT pictured here is a break in my left knee – at the top of my femur – with a torn meniscus at the root in 2016, a broken left elbow, and a break on the side of my right foot playing basketball in middle school.
