So, get this. Yesterday night I broke my foot by dropping something real heavy on it. I knew something was slightly wrong, and I went to the local ER here to get it checked out. Broke my foot in 3 places, refused a cast (I’m into drumming again) and they reluctantly sent me on my way.
I’ve been dealing with a slight case of glass bones for the past 5 years now, it sounds dramatic, but it’s just very, very low bone density. Broke my hand this year, broke 3 of my ribs this year, just by random silly accidents, and I just got a phone call from the hospital because apparently my pain charts are so underwhelming, they want to do a full check up and brain scan.
Broken foot on a scale of 1-10? 1. I actually tried drumming again today. Broken hand? 2. Ribs were sort of really annoying, I gave them a 4. The latter was supposed to be at least 8 according to them.
Now they want to know if I’m just used to a hell lot of pain or if there is a malfunction in my brain. I am actually curious.
Bit of a background: I broke so many of my bones in the years before I got ill. Used to skate a lot, did lots of self defense classes, so, even I wonder now what the heck is going on. ^^
AMA, btw. ^^
Ah dang. The movie Unbreakable has Samuel L. Jackson as a character with similarly fragile bones who goes by Mr. Glass.
Oh, thank you. I’ll look it up tonight. : )
Make sure you watch the whole trilogy. Unbreakable, Split, and Glass. The first one introduces you to the main villain and hero, Split introduces you to someone I would only classify as “chaotic evil”. Glass has the main hero facing off against the chaotic evil. Not a bad little “grounded” supe trilogy.
Awesome, thanks. Now that’s my week telly-wise covered. =)
Glass is one of the best origin stories for that series. I saw Split in theaters and I ended up watching Unbreakable after for context. Glass made me want it to never end. M. Night Shyamalan never disappoints.
