Let's just say heavy percentage of Neanderthal DNA. Another memorable one was when I was rear ended at a red light. The other car was going 50 or so. Both cars totaled. My wife and I went to the hospital. She missed two weeks of work and spent a few days in the hospital. The doc who read my xrays ( not the person who took them) , was amazed by both the thickness and density of my bones. I didn't even miss a day of work, just drove her car while shopping for a used car. The doctor literally came down to the er, convinced the tech was playing a joke on him. He asked to see the patient. I simply waved at him. He then did another set of xrays (after asking my permission) for "his personal records. I made sure he got my feet as well. I broke three toes and both ankles (multiple times) as a kid. He said I had the thickest bones he had seen. In his opinion I must be a Neanderthal throwback. Keep in mind, this was in 1999, before all the discussions about Neanderthal DNA percentages.

But yeah. The worst by far was when I was clipped by a semi. I was in college, riding a bike because I couldn't afford a car. According to the witnesses who called both the police and an ambulance it appeared that either I was caught by the wind as he barreled past me, or perhaps he swerved a little. I was bounced off the side of the truck more than once. The truck driver never stopped or slowed down. They didn't get the plates. I don't remember that day at all, and after that accident I had enough damage it was like six months of rehabilitation to be able to function again. Needless to say I flunked out of school, since I couldn't remember basically anything. I've had long term memory damage from this. I think of it as God hitting the reset button.
