1) Are you a baby about small injuries?

No, definitely not. I have small bruises that pop up all over my body and I don't have a clue as to how they got there. It's that Mid-West stiff upper lip instilled upon me, I guess.

2) What's the silliest way you have ever hurt yourself?

I used to walk my dogs around my apartment complex, while, at the same time, reading my New Yorker magazine. On more than one occasion, I would walk right into the big dumpsters that were in my path...didn't really hurt, just felt like a total fool and hoped that no one was watching me.

3) Who took care of your boo-boos when you were a child?

Definitely my Mother...Daddys didn't do those kind of things in the 50s.

4) Are you a good nurse when others have boo-boos?

I never thought so, but during my sister's illness, I found myself doing things I thought I'd never do and handling more bodily fluids than I ever want to think about again!

5) What's the worst accidental injury you've suffered? Did it require a trip to the Emergency Room?

The only things that have sent me to the emergency room have to do with my anxiety...the body is strong, but the mind is weak.
