it's awesome to take a lot of percoset, get constipated, then not be able to push your stool out.

good times!

Haha, I know you've got them covered.. but:

Laugh, cry, fuck, cough, giggle, continue to ski in the sx comp then go to AK for world tour finals 2 days after.. you can suppress a lot of pain mentally if you try, until you start laughing or coughing then its game over.

broken ribs suck huge.

after my motor bike crash I had 4 broken ribs (plus to add to the "fun" a 8" long incision from removing a kidney/spleen, and 4 broken transverse processes, oh yeah and a collapsed lung)

Shitting is tolerable... it's wiping that's absolutely fucking killer.

I cracked 3 ribs in an unfortunate bar incident and moving into my new apartment the day after really sucked.

i guess it doesn't hurt too much to wave your dick on the internet

After 10 days on my broken set, I've learned that you should drink lots of beer, but you should NOT find yourself needing to puke. If you need to puke, it's so painful that it will make you vomit, and then it's a domino train to hell.

You forgot the finger nail, Gawd that must of hurt.

The rest of your injuries??? you're just a pussy


Add sleep to the list. As much as you want to, it just hurts too much, and you wake up in agony because you moved in your sleep.

[SKISC]

Reading post on TGR should be added to the list. That causes laughing which should be avoided.

[samthaman]

sex is possible, you just shouldn't be on top
