Seven Weird Facts About Me

Ok, well I haven't been officially tagged, but in the spirit of sharing about myself (which you all know I love to do) I am sharing Seven Weird Facts About Myself. Now before I list them, you will notice that the first four point to the fact that I am surely blessed to be alive. Just a little heads up. Have fun reading about what a "freak" I am.

1. When I was born, the doctor pronounced me stillborn, because I would not take my first breath by crying. The nurse saved me though, by sticking a needle into my foot! That is when I screamed out for the first time, and lived to tell about the other weird facts about myself.

2. I hate hospitals! I spent a large portion of my childhood years in them (as you will see in a moment) for one reason or another; and to this day going into one makes me nauseus. I used to vomit when I entered one, regardless of the reason I was there. Thankfully, I have gotten past the actually doing it part.

3. I have had stitches 5 times. Once when I was a year old, and almost bit my tongue completely off. Once when I was 8, and stepped on a large piece of glass buried under sand at the lake. And 3 times related to the birth of three of my children.

4. I have broken and/ or seriously injured most of the bones in my body.

• My right arm 3 separate times before I was 9.
• My tailbone 3 separate times. Once at age 12, doing gymnastic type stunts on the bars at school. Once at age 14, sliding down the banister of concrete steps, and slipping off the step when I got off. And once at age 26, rollerblading at the coast.
• My left collar bone in a car accident when I was 22.
• All of my toes at various times, either by kicking something (not always accidentally) or by dropping heavy things on them.
• Damaged my neck and back in a series of car accidents in a matter of a couple years (none were my fault, thank you very much.)

5. I have a heart shaped scar on my right cheek, right next to my mouth, as a result of a burn I received as an infant.

6. I can wiggle my ears.

7. I can use my feet and toes for many of the same things I use my hands for. They work almost as well, for all of them.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about the weird facts about me. Yes, I am a freak, and proud of it. :) Surprisingly, you'd think I would have known much earlier that God had great things planned for me, if I would have looked back on my life, and thought about how often He had saved me from myself. :) Blessings to you!

There is no "MORE" to this post.
