Mary Poppins-adjacent

Have you ever broken a bone?

Call me Mary Poppins because I’m practically perfect in every way!

Ok, I’m not really perfect but I do like to think that I am Mary Poppins-adjacent because just like her, I’ve never broken a bone.

Now, in my defense, I have never played a sport and I am not very athletic. My idea of a good time is going for long walks, writing, or sitting beside a large body of water. I was overweight for the majority of my life and when I did start losing weight, my sport of choice was running and I was fairly safe there.

Yet it still amazes me that considering how accident-prone I am, I’m broken bone free:

  • Fell off of a bus in high school; contusion, no broken bones
  • Random sprained ankle in high school
  • 2 surgeries (gallbladder and cyst)
  • Sprained ankle when I hit it on a bed frame in July 2022
  • Fell off a bike in Nashville back in December; bruised ankle that still hurts occasionally
  • Four rear-end collisions since 2004

Countless cuts and bruises whose origins are unknown, but, thank God, no broken bones!

Now watch. I may be speaking too soon… 👀🙅🏾‍♀️
