- Horrible Laceration Of Lower Arm, sustained while falling down a hill. Right before my first wedding, to which she was planning to wear a short-sleeved dress. Lovely.
- Period of Unconsciousness From Blow To Head, caused by a weed suddenly coming loose. She was standing on a hill (another hill, not the same hill that caused the Arm Laceration) and so when she fell backwards, she kept going. Onto the driveway. No one is sure how long she was out, but she still knew her name and what year it was when she woke up.
- Broken Leg, acquired while stepping off the deck onto a lurking tree root. Don't ask.
- GANGRENE. Yes, gangrene. Do you know any other American suburbanite who has contracted gangrene lately? Her doctor was bewildered.

Gangrene?! That's pretty impressive. My friend got it from attending a muddy 5-day music festival a few years back and he forevermore reminds us to pack extra socks whenever we go somewhere with even a remote possibility of getting our feet wet.
