Re:Great Disasters:
I once dropped my largest exacto knife, continued on modelling
then noticed that my right foot felt rather -er- squishy in its
shoe... took me a long time to extract the blade from both shoe,
foot, and bone. Had to wiggle it a lot, and that wasn't fun.

As regards Mishaps When Young, by the time I was 15, I had
accumulated 2 broken arms, ankle broken 3 times, hairline
fracture of the skull and was missing 1 kneecap, tonsils,
adenoids, and appendix. And had quite a few "interesting" scars
( neither falling through glasshouses nor running into coiled
rusty barbed wire from WW2 is recommended ).
All in separate incidents ( OK, broken arm and fractured skull
happened simultaneously - my arm broke, but cushioned the impact)
Fortunately I stopped losing nonessential spare parts by age 22,
as I was fast running out by then.
 
Only God knows how my Parents coped.
