My father has:

-Been a buffalo hunter (which is more like herding than shooting) 

-Been gored through the leg by a buffalo 

-Has had a stick fly up whilst hunting and stick him through the leg, at which point he drove himself to the nearest nurse station 100km away and fixed himself up because the nurse fainted when she realised it was all the way through 

-Trekked and ridden a motorbike over some of the world’s highest roads (in India and China, mainly) at the age of 65 

-Rides a big red Harley Davidson around the town and has to braid his beard to stop it whipping him in the face 

-Survived multiple motorbike accidents 

-Still holds his former college’s tequila drinking record 

-Perhaps the most badass: He had a motorbike accident on a remote country rode, broke his leg among other things, sat around for 3 hours before someone came by, waited another few hours for an ambulance. In the hospital they realised after a few days that he wasn’t crapping his pants and in fact his leg was massively infected. Long story short, they sliced his cast open, it started swelling, they cut his knee open with a scalpel and pus and blobs and disgustingness started spewing out.

They realised it was bad news, wheeled him out of the hospital to the helipad but it had been called off to another emergency, so they stuck him in an ambulance and shut down a lane of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to rush him through to the main Sydney hospital. He spent the next year in a hyperbaric chamber in an out of consciousness, they wheeled him into surgery to amputate at least 6 times but decided to leave it. First leg saved through the oxygenation method. 

Deep down I kinda wish they’d cut off his leg because then my dad would look more like a pirate.
