Weak stomach. I get too easily naeusiated (spelling?) even sometimes when I'm brushing my teeth and the brush goes too far back. Yup. I had hernia, or whatever you call it, when I was 3. That's 'bout it.

My big toe is broken at the moment, and I have to wear a funny-looking shoe because of it. :P

I have had stiches, fainting issues and momentary blindness. No broken bones though, fortunately. Until recently, I would pass out alot in my bedroom when I'd stand up too fast. I never remember them, though. I once tried video taping myself, but it didn't work. I still have momentary blindness. I am weird......

Well, once I was playing musical chairs, but you had to walk on all fours like a tiger, and when the music stopped, I brought my head up really fast and whacked it really hard on the bottom of a marble table top. I was bleeding all over my white t-shirt. I felt like I was going to puke. Also, whenever I see someone or something barfing, hear them barfing, or smell it, I almost puke. I have a weak gag reflex. It's pretty bad. Like, at our recital in June, one of the girls in our class puked all over the floor like eight times. Seriously, I almost threw up. It was bad. Then I almost started crying backstage because the dance was going to be ruined. I start tearing up really easily, but I refuse to cry in front of people, so I have to stare really hard at something, or blink really hard. People think I have no emotions whatsoever, but I really do.

Weeeeeell, I have a very long list!

4th grade- Broke my arm. I was swinging on some monkey bar, aiming for this platform thing, but I over-shot and landed on my arm.  I snapped the bone completely off the growth plate, had to given that unconscious gas stuff and have it set. Then when it was healed, they thought that maybe it wasn't set quite right and that maybe they should re-break it and set it again, but thankfully, they didn't.

5th grade- Sprained my ankle. I was riding a bike and turned too sharp, flipped over, and almost tore a ligament. They called it a "severe sprain." I was on crutches for a while and physical therapy for, like, 4 months. 

6th grade-Was heading up to our second floor gym in flip-flops (not for class, though) and tripped and broke my toe. I had to wear that funny shoe thing like Ema talked about. 

I also trip, fall, whack, or somehow hurt myself quite frequently. A severe case of clumsiness. My family calls me "Emma Grace" a lot. They were actually thinking of naming me Emma Grace Olson, but luckily they didn't! It would have just been a cruel, cruel joke... *dramatic sigh* Anyway, that is what's wrong with me!

Oh, and I also cry or get stressed very easily. I was washing knives this summer and cut my finger almost to the bone. I also almost fainted for no apparent reason at my friend's youth group.

No broken bones.  Sprained my right ankle three times, though.  Fell onto a metal pokey thing that went about an inch into my back.  My mom put stuff in it to help it heal.    And I stuck my finger into it a few times, which started a "I'm gonna die."  I still have a scar, a bumpy one.  I was six or something when that happened, I think.  

@ Elizabeth: I don't like crying in front of people, either.  Staring at the wall helps, but after a while tears come out.

Same with me about when people get sick.   Although, sometimes it's even if I just hear THAT they got sick.  I'm awfully sensitive.

This doesn't include me in the story, but my friends told me it. It is very recent. 

 

So, on Halloween night my friends were walking across a bridge (the kind over a freeway) and my friends Maura and Allie felt it move. So Allie ran to the other side and started Howling, and Maura fainted in my friend Senuri's arms. And Senuri and Anna didn't feel it move, so they thought that Maura and Allie were joking or something. So Senuri said "Ok, Joke's over!" But Maura didn't wake up, and she kept trying to get her up. Then Anna comes and was like "You guys, it's not funny!" and Senuri's like "They aren't kidding!" Hehe, it was like the star story in our class today! I heard them telling it sooo many times. (funny every time)  

I don't really get hurt a lot... not like really bad. I'm careful. I get scared easily though! 

 

WAIT A MINUTE! I have one!

Ok, so today, I was trying to touch the basketball net (which, of course, for a small person like me, not exactly possible...) and another boy was too, and he like jumped on me when he was trying to touch it!!!!! I AM SO FRAGILE!!!!!! I hugged my friend, Caitlin, for a while because he scared me. hehe

My list:

when I was, like, 3, I fell on BRICK steps and hit my forehead on the corner.  Yeah, my dad said he could see my skull through my bloody gash!  EW.  I'm so glad I wasn't old enough to understand all that was happening.

Blood makes me SICK.  I HATE ANYTHING that has to do with blood, or gore.... I can only watch so many scary things on tv, and I will NEVER watch a horror movie or go in a haunted house.  *giggles self-consciously* Yeah, I'm kinda a wimp.  

I have fainted before.  I was beside my mom in her bathroom, doing my hair and all, and I kinda just fell into my mom's arms.  Everything kinda went black and then lit back up again within a couple seconds and my mom carried me, (more like dragged me, hee hee) to her bed.  It was weird, and I had a pounding headache afterwards.

I have to go help with dinner.  Possibly more later.

Ehm. I broke my arm in seventh grade and got put out to have it set. I fainted in fourth grade for no apparant reason. Other than that, I really don't have many issues. I don't have much trouble with blood, and I can handle needles if I have to get a shot or something. Good thing, my tolerance of blood, as I am interested in medicine and it's a poor doctor who faints at the sight of blood.

I have a lot of things!

Kindergarten~ I had an Amonia and I missed school for two weeks!  I also had to take the worst possible meddicine on Earth!  It is as if the doctors hate me!

2nd grade~  I  was born with my ears out and I had surgery when I was really young, but when I was running around some my ear tore back (not bloody!) so I had to have surgery again!  I also had to get my whole head wrapped up for my ears!  Also I had to wear headbands over my ears for three monthes!  Sadly my ears are very weak and sensitive in the back now!

3rd grade~  My sister decided to have a lemonade stand and I was running around to get the stuff when SNAP!  My ankle!  I went to the doctor hopping on one foot, but they refused to give me crutches!  They told me that it was a 3rd degree sprain and they gave me a really wierd looking brace!  I had to use it for two monthes!

4 grade~ Okay so I was running to get my swimming gear out of the garage when I tripped over a bucket andI fell and SLAMMED my foot and ankle!!!!  My mom carried me over to the couch and she kept asking me if I wanted to do swimming!  I was like mom It is probally broken!  So in a few days we went to the ER and they thought it was just sprained, so they gave me crutches and a brace.  When I went to a proffesional thay said it was definetely broken! I got a purple cast and a boot to put under it when I was ready to walk on it.  My foot didn't heal for three monthes!

5th grade~  I was running in my basement and I tripped so I hopped upstairs and called my mom.  She was coming home as soon as possible from school(she is a teacher)  When she got home she said we should go to the ER, but again they found nothing! Although when we went to the proffesional's they found like seven breaks using the same X-ray the hospital used!  I had another puple cast, but when they took it off I had to get anohter one put on because I was still not walking on it and it was still broken in four places! I choose pink colored!   I am still in 5th grade and I still have a pink cast, but I am going to get it off in 2 days!  I will probally get a hard boot for walking.
