I don't mean to threadjack but this tossed me through a memory wormhole. When I was seven I had recently received my first bike and having just seen some adult (or probably teenager) riding no-handed, I decided to try it. The result was my bike drifting off of the sidewalk into a tree. In slow motion the bike and myself fell to the right and I stuck my arm out to break the fall. Instead of breaking the fall, a bone in my forearm fractured and my elbow shattered.
I had to go into surgery to repair my elbow and I remember the doctor asking me whether I wanted to be the "Six Million Dollar Man" or the "Bionic Woman". WTF? I was seven and a very girly-girl, I said "Bionic Woman", sure enough that is exactly the dream or "fantasy" I experienced while I was in surgery! The power of suggestion eh?
