I am pretty accident prone with my feet.

When I was 4 or 5, I was playing in the yard. No one had cut the grass and had left a metal lawn chair folded up in the grass. I did not see it and ran right over it. I cut my foot wide open. I ran into the house. My aunt poured a bottle of iodine on it. I couldn't walk on it for 3 weeks.

In my junior year of high school, I stepped on a needle that was somehow embedded in the carpet in my bedroom. No idea where it came from. It broke off in my the base of my foot near my toes. I had to get surgery in the triage of the hospital. When they stuck my foot with the Novocaine needle i screamed so loud my mother said the people in the waiting room got quiet and were scared out their gourds. I had to walk on crutches for weeks. Not fun at all.

One time I was riding a bike around a brick fountain. I lost my balance or something and slammed into it. Dumb me was wearing sandals. Tore the flesh off my toe. Not all of it but enough that it was pretty painful and nasty looking.

I expect to have hip issues when I get older because I have fall three times on stairs that wrap around at the bottom. Somehow I have managed not to break bone.
