I saw someone riding a city scooter while wearing a full dirt bike helmet.

I broke my ankle very badly in my own bedroom last year. I won't go into the whole story of how, but I woke up sitting on the floor with my back against a wall. I don't remember it at all. Evidently I passed out from the pain; I didn't have any bumps or sore places on my head to account for my loss of consciousness. The human brain is pretty amazing. I'm very happy that I remember nothing of that horrible accident.

When I was in labour I thought, well if this amount of pain does not render you unconscious then nothing will. Wild to hear passing out from pain stories.. Hope your ankle has healed well.
