I found this while looking up about flexible joints.

I have always been flexible, not quite double jointed but pretty close.
I have a freak score of 8/9!!

I have a freak score of 9/9. I don't even know if doublejointed is such a thing, because my doctor always calls it something else. But that's what we were told when I was growing up so that's what I call it - LOL.

2/9. I used to be able to bend my thumbs back but time seems to have robbed me of that party trick. My knees are a whole other story.
Airy, I'll check out the rest of the family to see if you're the only freak or not. :-)

I'm trying to find out about my other strange trait, I can rotate most of my joints to freaky degrees. My elbows can go almost 360 :s

0/9 - Airy must get the freakiness from her Dad!

And I have a sore thumb now!

I KNOW my knees come from mum, the rest is a mystery.

Squeamish warning: http://qw88nb88.wordpress.com/33/
I can do almost all these things. Never realised most of them were due to hypermobility

As I suspected... 0/9 LOL

Since my surgery I'm 0/9, if I'm ever able to bend over again I might be 1/9 again!

you and I are probably within MONTHS of each other MS!......and yes, we were "child" brides!.... LOL

LOL, I was going to mention the child bride bit. I see your birthday was just the other day, mine is in January so I guess I'm just a tiny tad older(shhhhhh) than you.

...that's ok FF, much of flexibility is genetic!..... my mother was ... the same as me.... she's a rubber ball at 80 yrs old!... triped over a bucket, bounced back up, and didn't break a thing (thankfully!)..... bruised, but not broken!...

.... MS, as I said before, it's not a "milestone" one for me, so I think we truly are the same year... at least the same "school year"! LOL.... ahh the joys of this different "decade"!.... (ick).... I'll email you the pic they took of me today for business cards!... (who it that old woman?)... LOL

It counts FF, any movement counts and is a bonus.
