Why do you say she has ugly ankles?
One of them, anyway.
More’n a couple now, but yeah. I’m pretty good at ugly injuries. The athletic trainer in high school signed my yearbook, if that’s a hint.
Bimalleolar with full dislocation, left ankle. Three screws and a pin, plus a stabilizer they removed 2 months later. Somehow, I avoided plates, despite being threatened with them.
Then, of course, the 7 plates and 13 screws, plus a cc of demineralized bone matrix, in my right humerus.
So there’re two scars on the left ankle, one big’un on my right arm, an ugly one on my left palm, an incision scar on my left knee...and a few other little ones here and there.
I thought that was the case. You need bubble wrap.

Day-um!
Wfey's knee replacement was a result of a motorcycle accident she had 40 years ago, not long after we got married. Split tibia plateau like a piece of fire wood. 30 years of surgery to follow until she finally broke down for the replacement. Infection set in thereafter. Then this...
I've always said women have more grit than men. You two are living proof!
I love my PA and Nurse Practitioners.
I've taken some training, but don't have nearly as much as I'd like to have.
So, far, I've had:
-CPR/First Aid
-Local county's free Stop the Bleed course
-Dark Angel Medical's Tactical Aid Course
-Active Response Training's Tactical First Aid and System Collapse Medicine class
-Lone Star Medics' Medic 1 class
If my work and family obligations slow down, within the next year or two, I'd like to look into giving time to my local VFD. If that works out, I'd love to take the next step, and get EMS training. (But, that was still a ways off, even pre-coronavirus)

You’re not the first to say that.

Ouch. I broke my left patella in February (in northern CT) on my afternoon paper route. Tripped and fell, patella first, on a flagstone (frost heave popped up a corner). The chip was ¾ of the patella, but only a sliver, and it stayed in place. Had 3 sets of x-rays before the head of sports medicine happened to come back to the hospital to check on a surgical patient. He took one look at the x-rays (now 6 hrs after the accident), pointed to the fracture right in the middle of the patella, told the resident to put a pressure dressing on my now elephant-sized leg, gave my mom his card and told her to call the office the next day for an appointment on Monday. This was Thursday night, btw. Got the first of 3 casts, the only plaster one, that Monday. Last cast was removed in April.
Had to have surgery in July to remove the chip because the sucker was a floater; every time I bumped my knee, it would move and cut something else. Sometimes, it got into a spot where my knee would lock up. No bending, no walking when that happened.
But I’ll take that over her motorcycle accident and aftermath. Ouch.

Serveral qualify, but my latest is pharmacy school, Bachelor in Pharmacy. Should have stayed the extra year for PharmD.

Phenomenal class. Of all the many classes I've taken in how to shoot stuff, this class (which didn't involve shooting stuff) was one of the best. Took it 6 years ago and feel like I still remember a lot of it. Plus I have my notes, the manual, and have reviewed many more of the key principles in segments of subsequent classes.

MD EMT-B long ago
Basic first aid and the wife and I decided to take a stop the bleed class at Hopkins about a year and a half ago. Figured it was good information to have.
I’ve considered getting more training or volunteering at my local FD but was always too busy. Maybe now that I don’t have a job to go to, I should follow through.

It's a shame there isn't a vote for no training. A lot of people don't go to the trouble of getting any unless their job makes them.
