Title: Your Worst Ever Injury?
Sunday - February 11, 2007 10:20 PM (GMT)
Time to be morbid. Haha.
Anyway, I don't have any such story, really~ I'm not particularly accident prone and nothing really gross has ever happened to me. But when I was about 5, I was crawling around my grandmother's house, and a piece of glass when into the center of my hand (someone had dropped a glass earlier and hadn't seen the shard). Luckily it wasn't that bad, but I remember I was screaming for about an hour. Ha. =_=
So, any unfortunate predicaments? x]

Evidentally when I was a kid I fell off a jungle gym onto the concrete ground below and landed on my head. Which would probably explain a lot. (neutral)

Well, like you, I haven't had major accidents or injuries really. My brother had a few holes in his head when he was smaller, always smashing against a table XD.
The worst injury I've had was a couple of bruised ribs when having a twirling contest when I was younger (probably around 9 or 10?). Me and some other girls we're playing on a few things at the side of the area where the twirling contest was done. There was this big mat, where you mostly land on when doing gymnastics. Well I fell on it wrongly, landing on my side and all the air was knocked out of me and I couldn't breath for like a minute or so. In sort of a daze I ran trough the changing rooms, up the stairs, into the audience area where my mum was. Later when we went at the docter, he said I had bruiser ribs.
It still hurts now and then, mostly when I'm doing sports, or when I'm walking very fast after eating. Although it seems to be getting better over the years.
Owh, and I smashed my hand through a window once, about one and a half year ago? I was going to work, and pushed against the door to close it, instead of the wood, I pushed into the glass. And it was quite hard when I did this, so it went right throught the glass, cutting open my ring finger on my right hand XD. So the first thing I did was call my mum, get a piece of paper, and ran to the phone to say I couldn't come to work. It bleeded quite a lot, and I still have a scar. Luckily it didn't hurt that much, I found it quite funny actually. Now they put extra strong glass in the door :lol:.

I actually had a week I like to call "Black Week". It was about 8 years ago.
Sunday - broke up with fiance
Monday - developed tendonitis in left ankle (hard marble floors at work)
Tuesday - dislocated right knee (I just tripped!)
Wednesday - now in a full leg brace for my right leg and on crutches, I was trying to turn around on crutches, got my left foot (the one with tendonitis) caught between a couple of armchairs, fell as I twisted, which badly sprained that ankle. Cast on that. I also had some bruises on my face and arms from landing on the furniture.
Thursday - dropped out of college (I had wanted to transfer anyway.)
Incidentally, when I went to drop out, I hobbled in and took the secretary that I wanted to withdraw from school. She never looked up at me, and so said that a dean would have to approve a request for me to drop out. As she said this, a women came out of the door behind her and was just standing there with her mouth open. I said I would be willing to get one and asked who I should go see. The women behind her said "I'll approve it." The secretary looked up, and her jaw dropped, too. I had a full leg brace on one leg, an air cast on the other foot, and bruises all over. They asked if I was in a car accident, and I said no, three separate incidents (and ended up explaining).
I am a little accident prone, but I also barely slept that week and hardly ate because of the breakup, so I think I was just physically and emotionally exhausted. It took about 3 months for the knee to heal.

When I was like really young about five or so I was looking down the stairs to the basement and being the dumb person I was holding onto the wooden railing and well it broke and I went tumbling down the stairs until I finally hit the ground. I don't think I was hurt or anything well maybe I was 'cause I'm now not the brightest lightbulb in the bunch now. And that was supposed to be a joke. ROFL
Also when I was about nine now this wasn't so funny anway a giant surround sound speaker fell on my head. And it was all my little brothers fault. Well you see we had this like thing that was built out of those plastic things. Not Legos but something different. Anyway he went behind there and sorta bumped into it and knocked it over landing on my head. My head was bleeding a lot but I didn't go to the hospital.
'Quel - February 11, 2007 11:07 PM (GMT)
Horse nearly kicked my leg to little bits while I was sitting on another horse. The horse that did the kicking had intended to kick the horse I was on because he didn't like her or something. Ended up kicking me in the shin, near my ankle. If I hadn't been wearing my boots, it would've literally snapped in two.
Nessarose - February 12, 2007 12:29 AM (GMT)
The worst injury I've ever had was a sprained finger! Ha. I know. It's pathetic and I'm not even sure if it was really sprained or not. Oh well.
But one time when I was at my cousins house, we were trying to pick out a movie to watch and this beam thing fell on my head! Yeah, and the weird thing was I didn't really even feel it. I guess I was in shock. I think it gave me a bruise but nothing more.
It seems like I never get hurt, but people around me do...hmmm. (sweat)
Ancient_Rainfall - February 12, 2007 01:06 AM (GMT)
The worst one? -Shivers- Well, when I was six-years-old, and I was in England on summer vacation with my mother and father, we went to the indoor pool at the hotel. As I was swimming, my knee jolted into a corner of the pool, and started bleeding. It was a small cut, but it was bleeding badly. The funny thing was, for five minutes I didn't notice the swarming blood around me, or the pain that jolted through my body. When I looked down, I gasped in horror.
My parents took me upstairs, where we put Neosporin (sp?) into the deep cut, and it stiched itself together over the night! Though afterwards, I had a two-inch scar. I remember that night. I was whining in pain, and my parents where acting like this:
(angry) (angry)
Secret Lily - February 14, 2007 02:02 AM (GMT)
Never broke any bones *knocks on wood*, but I did cut my finger really bad once opening a package of lunch meat. It was pretty gross.
slashee - February 14, 2007 05:33 AM (GMT)
Heh. Well I'm a major klutz. :) I have many injury stories, but most of them have happened in the last year or two. Suddenly I seem to have become quite accident prone. Anywhoo, the first big one was in fifth grade. I was playing basketball in the finals of some tournament, and I ran headfirst into another girl's head trying to get the ball. I knocked myself out, and when I woke up I didn't really remember and I had my braces stuck in my lip. Like, actually stuck. It was gross. So I had to go to the orthodontist to get them to pull it out. It hurt like a mofo and I still have a little scar on the inside of my lip. :)
Then I was pretty much accident-free until this year again. During soccer, it was a game, and I dribbled up the field and to the goal. But then I got tripped and as I fell down to the ground, some kid kicked my head and landed on top of it. I got knocked out. Again. Haha. I got a concussion from that one.
In November, I was playing basketball again (I really should stop basketball) and it was a very intense game. The other team was super-violent and mean. I'm tall so I play post, and my check was like a head taller than me and probably three times wider. Anywhoo, so I jumped up for a rebound, and I rolled my right ankle to the outside. That wasn't too bad, but then my check knocked me the other way... eew. The crack was really sickening. And I broke it. God, that hurt a lot.
As soon as I was back on my feet properly again, I played another basketball game. I jumped up for a rebound but I got knocked off my feet again and I fell hard on my rear end. I broke my tailbone. A word of advice, never do that. It hurts like ALL the time. You can't sit, stand, do anything without a hell of a lot of pain. And it's too small to put a cast on... so you just have to suffer.
The moral is: Never play basketball. Stick to soccer. :)
.Skomie. - February 14, 2007 07:19 AM (GMT)
My sister gets most of the injuries, more serious ones anyway. She's the accident prone one. But here are a few "cool" stories of my battle wounds:
- During basketball, I fell funky on my wrist and moved a few of those little bones out of place. I couldn't play for a few weeks and right after it got better, I got set a screen and another girl plowed me over, then hurting my ankle and causing me to be unable to play for another few weeks. During this whole time I had some sort of infectiontype thing that made me sick. Not my best season ever...
- When I was six or seven, I was riding my pony (my mom loved horses and she got me and my sister a ponie! It was so much fun. Except for this incident...) and suddenly she took off. She had a very bouncy trot and I grabbed onto her neck, slipped partway off so I was basically hanging from her neck, fell on a gravel road (which really scarred up my back) nearly got trampled, and then rolled into a ditch. Yay for pony rides.
That's about it... I think. The rest is mostly jammed fingers and a nearly non-exsistant jellyfish (at least that is what they told me it was, I have no idea) sting.
lotrfan185 - February 14, 2007 09:07 AM (GMT)
Holy cow guys. . . I don't think I can top those stories, and mine is more of a quirky one anyway.
On the first day of preschool (I was five), this girl and I were playing outside and decided to come inside. So she ran ahead of me, but didn't hold the heavy emergency door open. I didn't reach it in time, and my hand got smashed between the door and the frame. Somehow, the top of my pointer finger got chopped off in that smash, and so now I have a nail that looks constantly manicured.
There, my tale of gore. Now *bandages for all*
Artistic Chardon - February 14, 2007 10:30 AM (GMT)
I have a condition called Hyper Mobility Syndrome which means that the colagen in my body doesn't form properly. This means that my joints are looser than normal and can bend backwards, as well as my muscles, ligaments and tendons all being very fragile. I'm explaining this because it ties in with my worst ever injury. I stepped off the school bus when I was 16 and my ankle twisted all the way around. I tore the ligaments in my ankle and it went completely black with bruising, not blue or purple.. black. That is the most painful thing I ever done and I think it's an injury that only someone with HMS would have gotten - most people's joints would have stopped moving or broken.
helloemface - February 14, 2007 02:22 PM (GMT)
I split my chin open and broke my wrist. But that's about all.
lotrfan185 - February 14, 2007 10:45 PM (GMT)
Holy cow, Artistic Chardon, that sounds so incredibly painful! It's making me shudder!
kimjhorner - February 17, 2007 09:55 AM (GMT)
I really haven't had that many major injuries that I can think of. no broken bones or torn ligaments.
I have cut the top of my finger with a sharp knife and almost passed out. I literally hand fed the fish this one time - yes when I stood up the fish was still hanging of my finger.
The worst was probably when I got a splinter. It actually went under my finger nail bed and I had to go in and have plastic surgery and the nail removed to get the splinter out. Apparently it ad come with in a couple of milimeters from the bone.
summerdanez - February 17, 2007 10:29 AM (GMT)
Concussion and a sprained back from a horse back riding incident on a runaway horse.
If I had stayed on the horse and gone out the gate, I would have been dead so I take the former injury XD
dressagerider - February 17, 2007 04:17 PM (GMT)
I fell of a horse for the 13th time in November and fractured my growth plate. I wore a sling for two weeks and then it was better. If we hadn't caught it, my arm might've stopped growing.
I've twisted ankles, strained my Achilles tendon more times than I can count, and on top of everything I have knee problems that may eventually require surgery.
Horsecrzy721 - February 17, 2007 04:51 PM (GMT)
Well I've never borken anything or been seriously injured to the point where I needed immediate medical attention, but I have a few stories that brought on quite a bit of pain.
The first was in 6th grade. I was carrying a lot of books and couldn't see where I was going. While walking down the stairs I skipped a step because I thought the one I was on was the last one, and ended up falling with one of my legs crossed behind me to catch my fall. Well that ankle landed square on the edge of the stair and all my weight plus the books landed on it. Surprisingly it was a spraigned ankle and nothing more. From the pain, I could have swore I broke it!
My knee is probably the next worse, and it actually happened only a few weeks ago. I was over my boyfriend's house and he has an old sailboat in his backyard where we like to hang out. A few people were over and there's this thing that sometimes people jump off the boat. My boyfriend does it all the time because he has the reflexes of a cat, but almost nobody else really does it. I mean, I know a few people have tried, but of those that were there that day, nobody. Well, my boyfriend was trying to get two of our friends to do it. He was like, "Come on man, today is your day." But nobody would do it. Now, cue onto me, standing there while he's talking to these people staring at the jump the entire time. I have a pretty big fear of the feeling of falling, so I wasn't all gung-ho for it. But, I ended up just letting go and doing it. I landed on my left knee and my forearms. It actually didn't hurt untill a good hour later when it hurt to move it, but if I kept it in one place it was ok. Now it doesn't hurt so much anymore, but it likes to go numb now and again, which is such a pain in the ass. If it doesn't stop, I may go talk to my doc about it, but for now, I'm fine. So yea, my 'horror' stories. Not too horriffic, but still.
Hexes Jala - February 18, 2007 05:00 PM (GMT)
Eh. I just saw this and had to comment. When I was 5, I smashed all ten of my fingers in a window. They spilt open and I had to wear gloves for months and months. Despite all that, my hands looks absolutely normal. It was a horrible experience though. : / (ouch)
Shadephantasm - February 19, 2007 04:20 AM (GMT)
Sprained my wrist. Then, while it was healing, I kept hitting it against things, and I fell on it while I was climbing up the stairs and twisted it.
I mostly keep myself from any real injuries, though.
Shadow Addict - February 19, 2007 04:43 AM (GMT)
When I was in second grade, my right index finger got caught in three car doors, six wood doors and eleven door hinges. No lasting effect, though. Also, last year, I stepped on a HUGE splinter and messed my foot up a lot.
Kathryn - February 23, 2007 02:20 AM (GMT)
Oy, me and my accidents! I guess my worst would probably be my most recent, aka the 'collar bone incident' as I like to relate to it as. Anyways, I was out in the country with my parents and their friends from my Dads work. So me and my friend Ruth were like talking and stuff and her older brother went and got the 4 wheeler, and I swear I knew right then and there that I wanted to leave.
But then they made me ride it, and it was all smooth and stuff because I wasn't driving the stupid thing, but when it was my turn we rode all nice for like 10 minutes before it was time for me to hurt myself -rolls eyes-. So we were going and they had a stock tank and because I'm a genius I decided to go down in it, and we slammed against the wall and I ended up braking my collar bone and bruising my entire left side!
This happened in August and now I've got a totally weird healed bone and like the right collarbone thing is all popping out and ughhh! I swear, worst injury. Ever.
Toni-May - February 23, 2007 05:22 PM (GMT)
I suppose mine would be breaking my nose; but it was by accident.
Synaptic_Journal - February 23, 2007 06:24 PM (GMT)
I have to say, I've never had really bad injuries.
I did sprain both of my wrists once, I rollerbladed into a wall (because i thought it wouldn't hurt to stop that way) and yeah. it was painful, but I moved on.
I smashed my finger in a door once, and the nail fell off eventually.
I've had bruised ribs from hitting the water at about 40 mph off of a jet ski.
And...that's about it.
gemsturr - February 23, 2007 06:28 PM (GMT)
I'm incredibly clumsy, but as of yet I've not had any serious injuries - I'm lucky, I guess. My worst two would probably be falling backwards down the stairs at school and break my wrist and slipping at an icerink and sliding across the ice hard enough to rip my jeans and the skin underneath to shreds. Come to think of it, the second was fairly painful. Just a graze, with a bit of ice burn, but it went all the way down my thigh and hurt. A lot. I left a red stain on the ice. XD
Oh, thought of another one. I was at a swimming lesson at school, and the teacher was telling us to do forward rollie-pollies. I'm fairly tall and I was at a fairly shallow bit, so I told her I couldn't do it here. She told me to do it again, so I did, and promptly hit my head on the floor, jarred my neck and couldn't move it from side to side for two weeks. I didn't go back to school for those two weeks, and even after that it took about a month for me to get to the point where I could move my head around properly.
I've also pulled my back loads of times; I did it once earlier this year, horseriding, and I was banned from all sports (except swimming) by my doctor. I could barely move; it hurt just to walk up the steps at school.
_Nadiya - February 24, 2007 06:47 PM (GMT)
I've broken a few bones over the years, my left leg and my right arm. One injury I got though has a sort of funny story behind it, so I'll tell it. When I was playing little league softball some years ago, I was at practice and we were supposed to be catching fly balls. The coach hit a ball for me, and I had my glove up and ready, yet somehow I completely missed the softball and it hit me right in the forehead. So I fell onto my back and I hadn't realized that I'd actually been hit. A very much delayed reaction came once the pain hit though, and it was kind of funny, well, at least to my mother it was. My forehead swelled up fast with a knot the size of a baseball and my mum took me to the emergency room, where all I got was an ice pack.
Dr. Paper - February 24, 2007 09:56 PM (GMT)
I've never really has a 'serious' injury so to speak. I was in hospital for a short period of time to have some teeth removed from my mouth that had sunk back into my gums, but that's about it.
That said, when I was younger I tripped over a carpet divider and ripped the toenail from my big toe on my left foot. But that's about it. Yeah. I know a lot of people are flaky about things that involve nails so I don't usually say anything about it.
Jay Serge - February 27, 2007 12:11 AM (GMT)
Hmm well these all happened at once. Crashed into the ground head first, followed with all my weight landing o n my neck, neck didn't break though. My jaw was cracked from my chin up to my ear on the left side of my face. Both my lips were split open and torn. My front tooth was bent straight backyard’s, pulled forwards shortly after by me, with my own hand. I also had quite a few pieces of concrete stuck in parts of my face as well. It took a week for the swelling in my lips to go down and make it possible for my to breath though my mouth. The cuts on my face took a bit longer to heal and the cracked jaw took about 3 months to fully heal up and stop hearting. The edges of my mouth are also slightly split now, which make me look like I’m slightly up set most the time seeing as the edges of my lips have been split down wards, so I smile a lot now so I don’t look sad lol. My front tooth is still a bit bent.
Edit: didn’t know we could tell more than one story lol
Hmm I’ve broken my own nose and gave myself two black eyes before. Some kid ran into me and grave me a bleeding nose, teacher came out and ask if I had broken my nose, I jolted to the side, silly yes to see if it was, it’s went crack, oops broken nose lol
Umm when I was little I fell out of a tree, hit every branch on the way down. My legs were blue for amount two weeks and most of my body was cut up lol
Umm when on a trampoline when I was at my friend Woodys house I went to run up a wall, didn’t know there was long nail sticking out. Made a gash around on inch deep and two inches in length though the bottom of my foot, made it impossible for me to walk. I sat for one hour upon his garden bench with a pair of scissors and a lot of after shave cleaning my wound and cutting piece of excess skin off. Following that I got myself a clean rag from my friends house, rapped it around my foot and soaked it in after shave to make sure the wound would stay clean. Following this I raped the rag with scallop tap and strapped it to my foot to make sure it kept in place. Pull my shoe on after that. My friends mum turned up, not wanting to up set her I just said hi and left like nothing happened, walking normally lol god that hurt. For the next 5 or so hours I hung out with my friends and had a laugh, I didn’t want to leave because my friend Tessa was there, I only see her once a year. Due to this my shoe went form a cream colour to a deep red, yes I had been bleeding a lot and was rather pail. Went home that night, my father checked my wound out, said it look to not be infected and sent me on my way, I redid bandage, had to tap it up to make sure my wound couldn’t re open. Went to the doctors about a week later, doc said I did a good job and gave be a few jabs. She said the tap had done the same job at the butterfly stitches they were going to give me, but she also said if the wound had been slightly to the left I would have not be able to more my toes any more lol.
Umm had many more, just can’t think of them.
Silly String - February 28, 2007 01:04 AM (GMT)
I was six and I went to a summer camp called Kidz Camp that took place at our local Community Center. We were in the gym playing dodgeball and a ball was by the wall and me and another girl (it was everyone against everyone) rushed to the ball and she squished me up against the wall and I cut the area around my eye on a brick. Bled down to my chin before I wiped it up. It looked like I wore heavy mascara.
Seanu - March 2, 2007 05:49 PM (GMT)
broke my fingers. which is my latest one. which is still in effect.
what with my fingers strapped together.
i fell over. =/
everything else seems really really bad.
piperhalliwell - March 3, 2007 05:49 PM (GMT)
Well i broke my arm and burnt it after i broke it...so double the injury wasn't too good..
the most anoying was biting my tongue in car crash as i almsot bit it off. it meant i couldnt talk well.
Supermans.Lover - March 6, 2007 01:27 AM (GMT)
Erm...well... I was born with benign tumors in my mouth, and had surgery when I was two days old...if that counts as an injury. Then I once stepped on a very, very sharp end of one of sister's toys and it went up in my foot, leaving a huge gash. And I landed on my butt so hard once that it hurt so much I had to sit on a pillow every time I sat down. (tongue)

That happened to me too. Only the other horse kicked the bottom of my shoe so no harm done. I don't blame the other horse either since my horse was a jerk. Yes, a jerk-horse. (sneaky)
Puppeteer - March 7, 2007 05:21 PM (GMT)
Well, broken bones wise I broke my fingers once. I had stitches in my head from being pushed into one of those big metal maps in grade school and I have a permenent scar from barrel racing (when we used to use those big metal barrels, they use light plastic ones now).
c_jai - March 11, 2007 01:02 AM (GMT)
Remember when we were six and watching TV upside down was fun? To bad we had a television in our old car. As another bonus it was uncomfortable to wear seatbelts upsidedown. My parents didn't notice, had to go on the breaks. Head hit TV. Straight to the ER! I got seven stiches on my forehead!
DarkSongstress - March 11, 2007 03:30 AM (GMT)
Okay, I guess I was a very cautious and sheltered kid growing up because I can honestly say I have never broken any bones. *knocks on wood* I think probably the worst thing that happened to me was when I was in second grade. After lunchtime, my class would go oustide to take a walk to help our digestion. Anyways, we used to walk around this circular concrete road on the school's property.
So that day the girls and boys were racing around the ramp and I somehow tripped and hit my right knee against the concrete really bad. My knee was an ugly sight for quite a few weeks while it healed.
The Fallen Evincar - March 21, 2007 10:48 PM (GMT)
Eh, I once smacked face first into a glass door that was so clean that I couldn't tell it wasn't empty air. Broke my nose. Hahhahaa...
Serendipity - March 22, 2007 12:31 AM (GMT)
Ha! I died once... oh wait....
Most recently I cut through the muscle on my middle finger. Hurts to type, it does. But, I think the cake goes to bruising my thigh. yeah, not too serious, or so it seems. The skin wasn't the only thing that bruised, but also the muscle underneath. I have a scar from it, it was so bad.
Shadow of the Rain - March 22, 2007 03:43 AM (GMT)
Ugh, I dislocated my thumb. When I was five. The day before my first day of kindergarten. My mom was freaking out so much my grandma had to slap her. (happy)
