I've got to admit i've had it REALLY easy. Pretty much the only bad thing that's ever happened to me is getting a compound fracture on my leg as a result of a bike accident.

broken finger...took the most healing out of all my injuries, bout a month or so...

other serious injuries/diseases i've had but could of been worse:

pain from seat belt strap after a head on car accident

5-6 sores in my mouth from eating some unclean food, probably from bacteria..i was on liquid diet for weeks cuz i couldn't chew w/o pain...puss oozing from the sores too...*OUCH!*

muscle strain in my torso area, thought it was my liver from drinking too much, but apparently it was only over exertion of muscles (thank goodness...*whew*)

popped capillaries (sp?) in my left eye fully blood shot with major swelling all around it from a serious fight with 2 dudes back in the day (left eyesight was impaired for almost a week because of the swelling)

I was playing in my dad's truck bed when I was 6 just after it rained. I slipped and hit my forehead on the bed wall. Had to get 6 stitches. Other than that, I have managed to stay in one piece...:D

Fractured my pinky playing football. It was great since it excused me from gym class and band!

i almost always have a cold, but thats about it.. *cough*
almost drowned once..., almost got beat to sh*t once..
 

Got attacked by a pitbull with I was 6.
It hopped the fence and tore me off my bike.
Went for my head, but I tried to hit it with my arm and it latched on and dragged around for a bit until the owner beat it off with a pipe.
Took a nice chunk on my right arm, right above the elbow, down to the bone and left numerous scars on both arms.

Once had a terrible case of pneumonia. I was basically house ridden for 3 and a half weeks. On the xray it looked like I had two hearts, but that second "heart" was really a bunch of crap in my lungs. ugh
