Broken Penis
I was just about to have sex with my girlfriend and, without going into graphic detail, my frenulum split near the base. I needed a frenulectomy to give my frenulum enough slack to heal.
How we helped: Ouch! No comment ... but this is true (we swear). Canadian in Bed.
Mountain Bike Accident
I was out mountain biking in the elements… when a tree got in my way. On impact, the handle bars of my bike twisted, bluntly jutting into my ribs before I went flying. I was in a lot of pain but there was no external bruising. I figured that even if I had broken a rib, there was nothing much anyone could do, so I didn’t seek medical attention. Two weeks later, though, I was still in just as much pain as when the accident had happened — and my internal organs felt painful, too. When I started having muscle spasms near my ribs I started to worry that something might be wrong, so I went to a nearby hospital. After initial concern that I had damaged my spleen, I was told I had multiple fractures in my ribs.
How we helped: Hospital medical care including CAT scan and chest X-ray. Canadian in the USA
