I’ll go first:

Not even sure how I managed this one, honestly, but I accidentally took out a small chunk of fingernail from my thumb on the stud of my jeans.

Once again, no fucking clue.

    I’ve dislocated my shoulder fourteen times, mostly in an innovative way each time.

    Once, a friend invited me to play catch with a group. I came along for the socialization, but warned that if I threw anything that I would dislocate my shoulder and have to go to the hospital. He scoffed and said it wouldn’t happen. Somehow he convinced me it wouldn’t, so I threw the ball once, then immediately had to go to the hospital, as I had dislocated my shoulder.

    Another time, my dad had to take me to the hospital, as I had been laying in bed and attempted to turn over, dislocating my shoulder.

        According to an erstwhile doctor, the more times you do it, the more likely you are to do it again.

        I actually had rotator cuff surgery to try to stop it from happening, but the surgeon said it was “like trying to nail Jello to a tree.”

        Though it did happen a few times after that surgery, it’s been a long time since the shoulder dislocated, a trend I’m hoping to continue! Instead, I’m all about a broken ankle these days.

            I am not familiar with that. Like I said, my shoulder has been stable for a decent amount of time, but if it starts to become a problem again I’ll look into this.

            I’m sorry you hurt your shoulder like that, but thank you for lending me your knowledge from the experience!
