The worst was when the screws came out, and had to be in another cast for an additional 3 wks.

Yep I've had a few broken fingers, nothing like being one-handed all of a sudden.
I was on the other side of a home plate collision....I'm running home, catcher is covering, I slide and nail his knee with my rib cage. (couple of cracked ribs from that) ...
