Strange. Out of all the things I have broken in my life, breaking my neck wasn't so painful.

Neck: Not bad

Ribs: Please kill me now

Wrist: Gaah!

Finger: Oh damn damn damn damn damn

Toe: Oh my god! Gaah! Gaah! Owe! Owe!

Leg: Is it ok if I sit?

Nose: Pffft. Gaak. Owe..

Ooo. Now that I think of it. The dentist did some xrays last December and asked when I had fractured my skull. Didn't know I had but since it wasn't diagnosed, can't claim it.

The moral. Don't break bones.

Don't break bones... well duh! *grin*

I'd suspect you fractured your skull during one of the many sessions of banging your head against a table and/or wall dealing with the unbelievable stupidity that is, "when are all the stories coming back to the fiction archive?!?!?"

The smartest move I ever made in my journey to suppress my T was to find a sympathetic endocrinologist. One thing that he was adamant about was having me on a yearly regiment of Reclast (http://www.reclast.com) (http://www.reclast.com) or something similar. Highly recommend it!

I'm on replacement T and while there are things that need to be watched, I'm likely less susceptible to them than those who do not take replacement hormones.

Since my original post I've had surgery on the toe (2 days ago) and damn I'm still in a lot of pain. Cutting my balls off hurt a lot less afterwards.

It's much better today though. I can move around a lot better and I do feel I'm on the mend. The surgery happened because the way the toe was healing was about 30-degrees from it's normal, previous position. It was already ganulating/knitting together and was going to solidify that way, which was going to make wearing shoes a bit painful. Not an option when my job requires me to stand for 8-hours per shift.

The net result is my toe will be shorter, but at least i'll be able to wear shoes.

I would never encourage a man to become a Eunuch.. Bone fracture are a sure things. I fractured my foot this past May because Bob put the step on the camper half up, I feel with Prince in my arms and fractured my foot. I had to become a Eunuch becaue my full family is Baptists. Baptists do not support Homosexuals in any way.. I had to llose my sex drive so I was not a homosexual any longer. I would never encorage one to be a Eunuch. It is not natural.. Our bodies are met to have testrosome in them. I did what I had to do for me,, But I would never never encourage another person to do what I did.

One of the wonders of biology, to me, is the astonishing diversity of life, particularly intra-species diversity.

for the sake of becoming a Eunuch. I would encourage some men to become eunuchs when family testosterone-linked cancer has repeatedly led to death at a rather young age or when other forms of cancer for which testosterone greatly increases probable risk (my family, for example).

I am past 73, have been off testosterone since 1986, and am not being met with bone fractures, and I do physically strenuous work some of the time. Some genetic males are less prone to bone fractures in old age without testosterone than other genetic males are with it.

I find that I am authentically transgendered, in that puberty-onset testosterone rather effectively fogged aspects of my mental clarity, and that clarity returned with my 1986 orchiectomy.

OneBallBoi, I have a hunch that your experience is as valid for you as my experience is for me.

For me, being a eunuch is the most natural thing I can imagine being now. And I am saddened to learn of your difficulties.

And, I tend to agree with your C. S. Lewis quotation...

I'm really rolling my eyes at this one...

I didn't fracture my toe because I'm a eunuch, I fractured it because I accidentally rammed it full force into the leg of a chair and caught the toes as it bent outward. It's likely anyone that did this would have ended up with a fracture since the bone that broke is nearly the smallest bone in the foot. I busted that sucker clean in half and had to have reconstructive surgery on it.

My body has testosterone in it and has nearly from the first day I became a eunuch.

I struck my middle toe getting into the sea on the rocks whilst on holiday last year. Hurt like hell, and I feared I'd broken it and would have the hassle of visiting a foreign hospital to rectify. After a relaxing swim, I inspected the toe and it was just badly bruised. Very lucky but it just shows how easily done it is. Guess I have to be more careful in future as I get more fragile.

You could have very possibly fractured it. It's the middle toe, so it would stay aligned because of it having toes on either side of it to hold it in place. Also, stubbing a toe with significant bruising afterwards is usually indicative of a fracture.

Regardless of what it was, I'm glad you recovered from the injury and are suffering no ill effects after.
