What was your worst injury?

[Gluk Schmuck]

I wish I hadn't had my dressings changed on my cut, now it hurts more than ever. Stupid nurse, she put it on too tight. I blame the NHS and its under-funding! Stupid Conservatives, I blame them!


Anyway, what was your worst injury?

[Evilmurries]

My worse injury was when I first attempted a darkslide and failed. I have a huge scar on my wrist. For those who don't know, a darkslide is when you skateboard, and you turn the board over in the air, and slide horizontal to the grind surface.

Last October. I was playing football, when I just about shattered my right thumb. I needed surgery and several months of physical therapy. I still don't use that thumb as much as I used to(typing, playing the piano...)

[Majic]

luckily, ive lived a pretty painless life. i dislocated my elbow once, sprained my knee, broke my arm when i was five... dont even remember that. but one time, yick bicycling accdent... fell offf, knee was so bloodied. i could see my skin, hand was like cated by the time i managed to hobblehome like 50 feet away. pretty much it was all like gross, and i dont remember but i think it pretty much went to the bone. it hurt, had the scar for 2 years...

My worst injury would have to be when i was 7 yrs old i was trying to jump this fence that has all these spikes on it, when i was going up the fence u i had put my hand on 1 of those spikes, then when i went to jump down i forgot to take my hand off the spike, as i jump i tore off a huge part of my hand, the wound was horrfic i could see my bone and all this white fleshy stuff was pouring out and blood was spilling every were i still have the scar to prove it.

[Gluk Schmuck]

My worst injury is this!

Basically, it's a 4cm long and 1/2cm deep cut just between my littlest and second littlest toes on my left foot.
You should see it without the dressings on, it looks aweful.

This is the worst thing that's happened to my school attendance!

Hmm.. when I was about 6 or 7 seven years old I nearly cut my thumb off with sissers. We were in Lappland with my family, like we are in every summer, and it was the day we were going to head back home. My sister was on the yard cutting some flowers with sissers for my mom. She left the sissers there on the lawn and went inside. Then I of course wanted to take some flowers to my mom also.. I took the sissers and cut this one flower. Too bad that my thumb was also there between the sissers.. So, there I was. Crying like mad with my thumb bearly hangig from my palm. And there was blood everywhere..

We had to drive like 300 kilometers to the nearest hospital, cause the place called Ropinsalmi, where we were, is really in the middle of nowhere.. Of course we like held my thumb in cold water and tied it up and put some ice around it before we started driving towards south.. But I remember that there was so much blood that it came through the tie.. But they sewed it back in the hospital and i've still got my both thumbs.. Still.. that was awful.

Also my dad nearly cut his thumb off with a motor saw once. That was even more awful. But we were in our summer cottage, which is not so far away from civilisation that he got to the hospital in like fifteen minutes.. Maybe this thing runs in our family.. Though it really wasn't funny then..

Well, I guess all my injuries aren't that bad. But the worst one of all must be when I played outside the house with my brothers and sisters. Niklas (one of my oldest) pushed me down on the lawn. I wanted to get revenge so I got up quickly while he still tried to get up on the road again, I grabbed his foot and tried to pull him down. I succeded. But, unfortunatly, he landed on my hand while I kept it on a really strange way. It really hurt. I could barely move it for 2 weeks. But, as I said, my injuries aren't that bad, I've never got a big fleshwound or something....

[Alector]

My worst injury was when my knee was split. I just walked down the stairs, suddenly my knee cracked and the paralysingly pain stopped me. I had a surgery. I got big screws into my knee joint...the same with my right toe. I kicked my brother so hard in his butt, that my toe had two complex fractures.

But my brothers coccyx was sprained, so I couldn't walk, and he couldn't walk also!

My worst injury occurred just over 24 hours ago. I believe I've been lucky in regards to pain and injury, but I'm quite uncomfortable as I type this.

I was attacked by a huge dog, it mainly bit just under my left hip, the large area between the hip and knee. It's covered with heaps of deep gashes now, it's quite swollen and sore. There's also a more minor bite under my right rib. My clothes were ripped up pretty bad. I didn't realise how bad the bites were so I was only treated for the bloodied graze on my elbow. So when I got home I've been treating the bite wounds on my own with antiseptic ointments.

I hope I don't get tetanus. My last booster shot was seven years ago, I don't know how long they last.

[Shinjara]

Oo...Sydney that sounds real bad *sympathy..*

my worst injury was when i BADLY burnt my hand...I had it bandaged up for quite a while...

[sligface202]

my worst injury was when i fought my next door neighbor (because he stole my journal and read it so i tried to get revenge!)the fight was in my backyard when neither mine or my next doors neighbors parents were home.i hit him with a trash can lid in the head a few times then i climben my dad's ladder and jumped on the roof i jumped of the roof with my elbow out.i tried to give him an elbow and missed! i dislocated my elbow and couldn't even move it for 5 months.

My worst injury happened twice, in exactly the same way, with exactly the same consequences...

My old house in Haworth was on a slope [try and find one that isn't, around there...], and when we first moved in the Garden consisted of 4 levels, each with steps down from one another. The top two were paved, the bottom two were lawned, and there were beds with flowers and bushes and trees and things in scattered around. I was riding my tricycle on the top level, and I fell over the edge. It was only a 4 foot drop, but I was little, and I landed on my head... I had to have lots of stitches.

Then I did the exact same thing later that year...

I don't really remember either incident, but I know of them from what I've been told...

[•[cyrus]•]

Well, For me, I havn't had much pain in my life.....

But, I remember when I was 7, there was a kid mike a beat up, but then he told his brother. His brother was 13 or 14. After that, he picked me up by my shirt, smashed me down arm first on cement, then made me lose a tooth or two with punches after he took a stick and almost impaled it into me but instead wackled my higher chest. Now I am an asmatic.....

I have two that really aren't that bad (considering I've never broken a bone)

The first was when I was in sixth grade. I was pluging in a lamp behind my bed and then the outlet just shot of sparks of electricity. It fried the top skin on my right hand on my thumb, ring finger and middle finger. They had to be wrapped up in dessings for threes weeks and we had to pop all those increadibly nasty blisters, thankfully my hand is fine now except that my ring finger isn't strait anymore. It kinda starts leaning a little in the middle of the middle finger joint.

The second on happened a few months ago. You see my brother enjoys just going up to me and kicking me extreamly hard in the ribs for no reason. Well all that (extreamly painful) kicking he did to my ribs finnally bruised them. It took over a week for the doctors to find out. THe doctor told me that a bruised rib feels just as bad as a rib that is broken.

I guess my injuries arn't too bad considering that they didn't need any surgy and nothing ever broke. But that rib still hurts a little sometimes for no perticular reason.

[angry slig]

Well i never actually broke of dilocated, snapped, u get the idea, but i am prone to hurt. Last week i was running down a hill at my park, slipped, went flying about 4 feet, landed on the concrete ground and a rock on my head and knees. I was pouring so much blood i could of gave an entire army blood after a war. TRUE STORY

[Disgruntled Intern]

my worst injury was last year, in wood working, at school.
we had a sub that day, and he left 15 minutes into the period without a word.
so, all hell broke loose, and we were using the nail guns to shoot the ceiling and shit..well, i wasn't, but others were.
then, they started shooting at the walls..about that time, i got into a shoving match with some kid, and he pushed me against the wall...some one accidentally shot two nails through my left hand..well not ALL the way through, but far enough for my hand to be stuck to the wall.
it hurt REALLY bad..so then they had to pull them out with the claw end of a hammer...and in the process, bent one of the nails, and made it damn near impossible to get out.
needless to say, we called 911, and i was escorted out of school in style.

[SeaRex]

I kicked a couch once it and it made my pinky toe go at a 50 degree angle. ^_^

[DarkHoodness]

My worst injury? Well, I think it was a sprained ankle. You know these invalid cars that old folks drive around in? Well, I have one of them. My dad used it when he was ill with his Cancer. Me and my cousin were messing around on it. I was sitting on the back, and wanted to get off, but he wouldn't stop, so I tried getting off while it was still moving. My foot went under the wheel upside down whilst I was still sitting on the buggy, so my ankle got sprained. I'm suprised it wasn't broken, but I couldn't walk for a few days.

My second worst injury that I remember was one incident about two years ago where Friday, my pet cat got some mechanical grease on his tail somehow. We washed it off with water which he didn't mind too much, but then my mum had the really dumb idea of drying him off with a hairdryer. You can guess what happend. :S Anyway, I reviced a few cuts, but I got this small, yet really deep gash on the back of my right hand which I still have the scar from.

My most recent big injury was a few weeks back when I was helping my sister and her boyfriend get a large dead tree from the nearby wood. I was helping them carry it back since it was very heavy, and when we put it down, I accidently dropped it on my knee. Got a graze and a briuse in the same place, and it kind of hurt for a while.

Other then that, I have had a few various minor injuries over the years. I seem to be prone to small burns for some reason. Anyway, I haven't ever broken any bone in my body, or ever been stung by a bee or a wasp. Being careful and using causion has its advantages. I don't tend to hurt myself that often (unlike online in MSN chatrooms where hurting myself for some silly reason is a daily occurance).

Speaking of injuries, my pets have suffered too.
Capricorn, my pet goat, has had a couple of bad injuries. The first one is where a small terrier dog attacked him because he butted her as a puppy (It was a revenge attack). He suffered a cut on his neck (which dripped blood for a long while) and a cut on his foot. He also sufferd shock. The second one that I know of was far more serious and happend more recently. I don't know actually what he did, but we think he fell into a fence or something. Anyway, he got a HUGE gash down the side of his upper right front leg (near the shoulder). VERY deep flesh wound. He was in shock when we found him stadning outside near the door in the early hours of the morning. It took a very long time for it to heal, about a month. It would of taken much longer if we hadn't poured Tumeric into his wound every day. Tumeric works EXTREMELY well one wounds. It get rid of germs and helps the wound heal quicker. Amber powdery spice normally used in curries that isn't known offically for it's medical properties.
Tumeric also worked on the cat. Ocelot, one of the kittens, had a mozzie bit on his back near his shoulder blade. He kept scratching it and it got so bad that it spread all over his back and to the bottom of his neck. A very painful looking wound oozing with puss. We had to put a jacket on him made out of toilet roll and duck tape, which we taped to him using masking tape so he woudn'tt scratch it. Took ages for it to heal as well. Now part of the fur on his back will never be straight again.

As for my friends and family, Mactus's worst injury is a slow one. Wrestling really does take the wind out of him. He's badly bruised his ribs from repeatingly being thrown on the ground.
As for my mum, she got badly scolded when she knocked over a boiling kettle. That was ages ago, and I know of no other injuries.
GTG! My roof is leaking near the monitor agaim!

That's roughly what happened to me!

[cherie]

hmm..i say i've been pretty lucky but i can name my 2 worst injuries. one due to my own stupidty.

i think my worst injury ever was the time i fractured my left hand pinky. what happened was me and my cosions were kinda horseing around and i had my hand on the floor,fingers sprawled out. well, then comes my older couisons knee onto that pinky.... needless to say the least it hurt. when it still hurt a week later thats when went to the doctor to look at it. of course,it was fractured and i wore a splint on that finger for months.

my second worst injury was my own fault and taught me a valuable lesson... never pick up a hot soup bowl with a phone in your hand. i think you can geuss what happened it fell right on my chest and i had a large mark there for about a year.

[Steve]

I have never been seriosly injured. the only bad thing that has happened to me is get my hand slammed in a door and that is no longer noticible that anything happened. I have a few times come very close to having extremly dangerous injurys. I nearly got frostbite on my entire foot once, I was at this one place for school where they basicly put you in the woods in winter and see if you can survive and I was collecting wood and my shoe slipped off and before I could react I'd stepped in the snow and my boot had filled with snow. I hopped back to the fire got my sock off and started warming it up. I have nearly fallen off a cliff twice. the first time I tripped on a hill and started rolling, I ended up about 2" away from a 50' drop. the other time I wasn't paying attention and a trail swerved inwords for a short time. I was holding on with one hand to a rail.

[Abe's son]

wwwwwwwwwweeeeeeellllllllll when i was 2 i smashed my head on a speker and nearly cracked it in half!but i got it stiched up and im fine(exsecp for the spaming and stuff)

[abe22]

My worse injury was when I was 12. It was at school and I fell down the steps and I hurt my knee caps, elbows and hands. I didn't even cry I just yelled in pain. Other than that I haven't had any other very bad injury.

My brother though has had some very bad ones. One time he was riding his bike and this car was coming out of the drive way but he could not see it because there was a tree in the way. He gets hit and he said he got flung right over the top of the car and lands on the ground and I think he chipped a tooth as well as getting winded and bleeding.

Another time he was at this park with the school and he fell off the flying fox because some parent helper pulled his legs to hard and he landed on his face and my mum said he had a huge black eye.

Another time this happened about 2 years ago my brother and I were walking down the street and he trips over and he doesn't even put his hands out. He gets up and he had a graze on his head and I say You're an idiot why didn't you put your hands out and he goes I would have got hurt anyway and I can't be stuffed putting my hands out. So much for natural reflexes.
