'Avengers' star Jeremy Renner says he broke 30 bones in snowplow accident
A 911 call log obtained by CNN says Renner was "completely crushed under a large snowcat (vehicle)" and that he had "extreme (difficulty) breathing." It goes on to read that, "the right side of his chest is collapsed -- upper torso is crushed."
Renner's snowcat, an engine-powered machine used to clear snow, started to roll away while Renner was off the driver's seat, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam previously said.

"Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new years ....

Much love and appreciation to you all. These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens . Love and blessings to you all."

Prayers for Jeremy Renner! What a horrible accident.

That's 30 more than I've had my whole life. (Well, sort of. I had a lateral crack in a metatarsal on my left hand. Other than taping it tightly for about a week, they did nothing else. It barely hurt. Just a dull ache for a couple days. So, I'll still call it zero.)

Tarsals (and metatarsals) TAP.
If you have metatarsals in your hand that must have involved interesting transplant surgery or a very serious kick in the hand.

I just checked and my dictionary knows metatarsal but not metacarpal, so it "helped" me out.
D'oh!
I should have read it over before I posted.
