About
The only real damage I did to myself as a "yute" was while roller-skating down this hill. There are large holes, chips, cracks and bumps in it to this day. My black shoe skates did not fail me as they rolled me faster and faster to my doom. A fractured wrist (no big deal) a cast from elbow to fingers (ahhh! baby stuff) A summer without baseball!!!(I still cry). My mother put Vick's on the wound until my aunt arrived and took me to the hospital. Vick's Vapor Rub did not help----it was still broken.
it was only one time that I have fractures,but it was when was adult,in 1998, I have got five ribs fractures,and a 10*8 cm part of my scalp flapped from my skull,I used my underwear cotton shirt to keep it in its place,just after half an hour it was sutured in its place,it was a long story,I was driving a car at night through a sand storm,with a dead battery,and a very dim light,that does not show one meter from the road, my regards, Saad.
