I have bruises on my legs and I don't know where they came from. It certainly wasn't sex. :|
 
Worthless thread creation satisfied. Go about your normal business, there's nothing to see here.
 
I got hit in the face with a softball. The stupid girl infront of me ducked when she was suspose to catch the ball, and guess who was the lucky recepient. :|
 
i was going up wet brick steps in clunky clogs, carrying my copy of HTDAAB and a cup of hot chocolate. i fall forward, hit my knees on the steps, the precious hot chocolate and the CD go flying out of my hands, and naturally the hot chocolate went all over the CD! i limped into the house more concerned about the CD than my knee.....:huh:

oooooooooouuuuuchhhh.

i broke my baby toe once while trying to answer the phone. our new puppy was fond of being underfoot, and as i was running to grab the phone, i realized that i had a choice: kick the bench or send my puppy flying down the hall. no other options. i went with the bench. my toe was a glorious rainbow of black, purple, and blue for three weeks.

i was in too much pain to answer the phone.

now that sounds like something that would have happened to me.

hope your CD and your knee are ok! :wink:
 
I got knocked out at softball practice in 7th grade. I was sliding into second and the catcher threw too low and it hit me in the head.
:up: batting helmets that don't do shit. :|


And I have gymnastics horror stories galore. :yikes:
 
when I was in 2nd grade i was playing t-ball and some kid hit a line drive and hit me in the bicep. the imprint of the seams were left in my arm, which looked like a black and blue baseball.
 
My boyfriend gave me a black eye during a tickling accident.

Many moons ago I was catcher in a baseball game, my brother threw the (aluminum) bat, and it hit me in the mouth.

That made me laugh, sorry :hug:

MANY years ago I was " bodysurfing" (as in jumping the steps while "gliding" down the carpet)down my parents' stairs and whacked my head right against the wall

I do something klutzy at least once a week.

I should have followed your example :yikes:

I got the tip of my finger cut off playing in a closet. It was a game my sister and I played with our younger brother. You see, the two of us girls would try to get out of the closet by pushing on the door as hard as we could, while our brother would try to keep us in by pushing on the opposite side of the door as hard as he could. Brilliant game, right? :rolleyes:

Somehow my middle finger got stuck in the door hinge, and my brother did his part by pushing as hard as he could, and *chop*!

Well, my mother always said we would loose a finger that way. She was partly correct (thank goodness the tip was able to be stiched back on :reject: )

Moral of the story, always listen to your mother :yes:

Holy crap, the tip of it came off? :ohmy:
 
I had a recent toenail injury too. I was trying to put a shopping cart over a curb after I loaded my groceries and somehow I kicked the rack underneath and ripped off half my left toenail :yikes:

My most embarrasing injury though happened about 10 years ago. We were riding inner-tubes down a snowy hill and in order to get up to the top, there was a rope that towed you up as you sat on your inner-tube. My gloves were too thin and the rope was moving too fast so the friction burned through my gloves and took all the skin off both of my palms. Not only that, but my hair got wrapped around the rope so I panicked and started flailing around like a lunatic.

My hands were completely mangled and within a few hours, I had red lines running up both arms, meaning I had a raging infection. So I spent the next 8 hours of our vacation in the emergency room getting IV antibiotics.

And because I REALLY know how to make things exciting...I was getting the antibiotics every 2 hours so they left a shunt in the vein in my hand. I would go back to our cabin, rest a while and go back to the ER for another treatment. The second time I went back, something happened to cap on the shunt and I looked down to see that I was squirting blood all over the floor in the ER. :reject:

:yes: My mom found it and packed it in ice, so it could be sewed on in the emergency room.

The funny thing (well now that I look back at it) was that after that happened with all the adrenaline, I was able to push open the door no problem - I probably did it so fast it flung my brother against the wall :lol:

I'd like to add that this happened 20 years ago - I'm much older and wiser now :reject:

Wow :yikes: That sounds like partly the operator of the ride's fault too. To do that much damage, even though your gloves were thin . . . I would imagine you were not the first person that happened too when the rope is moving that fast :yikes:
 
I've never broken a bone, but i've dislocated my right shoulder, (i'm no longer able to throw), i've dislocated my elbow (can't remember which), and my right hip (my leg came out of the socket). my orthopedist told me i have very loose joints. the scary thing is both the shoulder and hip dislocations were done while doing ordinary things. i dislocated my elbow simply by getting up off the floor, and dislocated my hip chasing after a ping pong ball :huh:. basically i have to be very careful in anything i do and it sucks.
 
I went running up the stairs in U2 induced excitment last night and I came around the corner of a waxed hard wood floor too fast and totally wiped out, smacking my face in the doorway. I laid there for a good half a minute...wiggling my toes and fingers to make sure everything still worked and a complete daze. The entire inside of one of my forearms is now purple....thanks alot boys :|

I was on a five day holiday in Las Vegas visiting family and attending a rockabilly weekender last April. The last night of the event early in the evening I met a great looking guy :drool: we spend all night together listening to the bands, talking and drinking. I was even being a good girl and stopped my rum and cokes early on. Night soon turns into day and for the least say 6 hours neither of us have touched any alcohol. So we decide to leave the casino and head over to his hotel.......I end up flat on my back no not there! Outside the casino as we make are way over to the taxi area I slip on the wet stone paving the driveway.....*CRACK*.....I land on my ass but in the process of falling I fracture my left ankle and leg. Not exactly the ending I was hoping for. :sad:

Me after surgery. I have a rod in my leg and a plate at my ankle. And :yes: I do set off the airport metal detectors now. :laugh:
