1) Were you an accident prone child who ended up in the ER all the time?
No, never.
2) How many bones have you broken?
None. I did get a stress fracture back in the days when I did a lot of running.
3) Are you a cry baby or tough guy when you are hurt?
Tough. I have to be dying to go to the doctor.
4) Do you have any crazy scars?
Crazy? No. One bad scar from a fall. I was on a Greek island (I was back-packing around the Greek Islands at 50+

) and slipped in my bathroom (a pension, not a fancy hotel); the inside of my forearm was cut open for about 3-4 inches from the metal in the frame of the doorway. I should have gone to a doctor and gotten penicillin and stitches, but the village didn’t have one, and I didn’t want to bother to travel to a bigger town, or deal with doctors. I put a lot of alcohol and other sanitizers on it, did a lot of swimming in the salty sea, & wrapped it up in clean bandages when I wasn’t swimming, etc., pressing the skin together so it would mend w/o stitches. And it healed fine. I’d had a tetanus shot not that long before, so I was safe from that. I have a long scar, and people still ask me what happened.
5) Does the sight of blood, yours or others, freak you out?
No, and I love the show “Doc Martin.” Hilarious.
