Anything involving personal mobility always ends up sucking. I've fucked up my knees and ankles, but never my feet beyond ingrown toenails and that kinda thing.

While we're talking about children's medical stories:
When I was not knee-high to a horse, I fought off a trio of doctors with a sword. They were trying to operate on my eyes, the bastards! I'd have none of that shit, however, and gallantly entered mortal combat, outnumbered and trapped. Thankfully, the virtuous nurse came to my rescue and I dunno what happened after that, I was pretty fucking stoned from the anesthetic.

They let you bring a sword with you to pre-op? :-o

I've had pretty bad ear troubles my whole life. When I was little (like, 2 or 3) it became apparent that I couldn't hear very well and so needed to have grommets put in my ears (though I don't really understand why and have never took the time to find out). When I was about 12 my brother was dunking me in the pool and my earplugs (which I had to wear while swimming) fell out, the pressure of the water against my ears puncturing my left eardrum. I woke up that night in terrible pain and with blood leaking copiously from my ear. Eventually I got a skin graft to patch up the hole as it didn't heal itself but that didn't take as the skin graft ended up creating yet another hole that was eventually fixed up with another skin graft. As a result of all this, my left ear doesn't hear that well, especially high pitched noises, also it throws my directional hearing off by about 50% (it was tested in a biopsychology class I took in first year) though I guess it isn't helped by me being in a small room once a week while three other people around me play extremely loud music for about 2 hours straight.
I've also had my ears syringed, it was one of the single most uncomfortable experiences I've ever had, not actually painful just really very uncomfortable. It is second only to the trips I had to make to my ear, nose and throat surgeon who would have me tilt my head, then insert a long metal rod with a hook at the end into my ear (my left ear canal is now dead straight due to the skin grafts) and drag out clumps of wax.

Fluid building up behind the eardrum, I believe.
When I was a young'un I always used to get fluid buildup behind the eardrum or something as a result of almost constant ear infections that were in themselves a run-on from tonsillitis problems. I had the grommets put in to help the fluid drain out (tasty, I know...) So yeah, that may have been why.

I bought that and the second on DVD on impulse a few weeks back. I keep meaning to watch them both and indulge in some serious nostalgia tripping.

Pog Dead,
I had a headache last night, so I went to sleep. I thought that would help it. It was about 1130 at night and I worked at 630am today, so I was like "eh, I'll get more sleep get rid of this headache blah blah blah" and then I wake up at around 330am or so with the headache having upgraded itself to being terrible. I layed in bed and tried to fall back asleep, but I layed in the dark for 45 minutes. Finally I sat up and took some asprin (with dr pepper since that's what was near my bed). I closed my bedroom door as I suspected that my body didn't want to fall asleep because it didn't feel right sleeping with my door opened. And I fell asleep.
I've never woken up in the middle of the night because of a headache.
What the fuck is that.
