I've been fortunate enough to not have been injured. The worst was probably just bad whiplash when I was in a car accident a few years ago.
-
I fractured my skull when I was run over as a child
-
@highwire: WHAT the eff??? OMG!!!!!!
-
Mild traumatic brain injury about 10 years ago. I broke my toe a year or two ago too, that was not really that big a deal though.
-
Just a sprained ankle
-
Slammed my hand in a door as a kid and cut off the tip of a finger - amazingly, once reattached, everything worked and is normal-looking!
-
I broke my collar bone when a wave knocked me under and slammed me into a sand bar when I was ten.
-
Broken collar bone at age 4.
-
@highwire: ?!
My worst was when I broke my arm snowboarding... I got cocky and hit this huge (awfully made) jump, panicked on the way down, flailed my arms, and landed on my right arm. I broke both bones in my forearm and now have two plates and 13 screws in it. Oops.
-
@highwire: I'm with @Rubies. How did that happen?!?
I got hit by a pitch playing softball (fast pitch). It hit the inside of my right leg by my knee. My growth plate was damaged. Luckily I didn't grow anymore!
-
@highwire: Wow, run over? How old were you?
@mrbee: This was from being robbed, right? I know someone who had a brain injury but I think it changed his personality permanently--he was ejected from a car during a car accident.Worst injury was kind of having the side of my face ripped open from a car accident when I was a sophomore in college. The major reason I hate cars. I was pretty beaten up (my first and only helicopter ride had to be airlifted to a trauma unit), plus had a concussion, whiplash, and messed up my teeth. I felt like I was hit by a truck!
-
@Rubies: whiplash for me too! I was pregnant and put on bed rest.
-
@autumnlove: OMG, that is so scary.
-
@mrsjazz: GASP!
-
I fouled a ball off in my mouth in my softball playing days. It sucked.
-
@mrsjazz: Well technically they didn't ask for my money or take any... so not sure exactly what it was!
Dang your injury sounds BRUTAL!
-
I haven't been injured a lot so I consider myself lucky.
When I worked at a group home a few years ago, I was breaking up a fight and one of the girls threw one of those large metal three hole punches. I was in the middle and I got hit right in the forehead. I had to go to the hospital and get two deep stitches and eight surface stitches. I was lucky that it didn't hit my eye though.
-
Just smashing my fingers in a steal door when I was 8, my nails fell off. Oh, I also got my ankle caught in bike spokes and that tore all the skin off my ankle. Other than that, no broken bones or anything too serious. Thank goodness!
-
Broke my back sledding in college. It was awful! Feeling the after effects with carrying a baby around now.
-
Broke my arm when I was young, but lots of people do that. Grossest injury involved jumping off a counter top when I was 6 and getting a cabinet handle lodged into my thigh. I have a huge scar.
@mrsjazz: Oh my gosh; so scary!!
-
@bree72: I almost threw up a little at the thought. My goodness!
-
Probably the worst was from s bad car wreck that totaled my car. I was bruised all over and had the seatbelt imprinted on my body.
-
@Rubies: @mrbee: Yeah, it was no fun, I had to take the rest of the semester off and I do have a couple of scars on my face and neck. Daily reminder of why I hate cars! Now, most people don't notice them at first, they looked worse right after. And I was in another accident 9 months later--concussion and broken ribs. Cars are evil
@bree72: Cabinet handle lodged in your thigh. Ugh, that sounds horrible.
-
I pushed a baby out of my lady bits with no drugs, and it hurt quite a bit
haha - j/k! Mine was knocking out my two front teeth at a playground as a kid.
-
@Rubies: Yeah, it was pretty gross. Had to have my grandpa wiggle me off of it. Needless to say, the handles were changed. I can never look at a fleur de lis the same.
-
@Rubies: @ms.janedoe: @Leialou: @mrsjazz: I got backed over by a car and my head hit the curb...I was 9.
It was actually a hit and run. The guy took off afterwards but they caught him and he went to prison.
-
@highwire: Ohmahgawd, lady! So glad you were OK and that they caught him!!! Seriously cannot believe some people...
-
@highwire: oh my goodness! how awful! i'm glad you're ok now! head injuries are scary stuff.
i had a compound fracture of my left forearm. it was pretty gross. i had nightmares after for a long time of watching it fold in half and the bone popping out, and the sound, the awful sound. the dr had to re break it a couple weeks later (no drugs, WTF?!?) because it wasn't healing properly, it's still messed up but i've refused the surgery so far. breaking it again sucked & hurt right away, at least the first time i went into shock and nothing hurt til the next day. i also took a field hockey ball to the face & broke my orbital/cheekbone area which looked pretty awful right after but hasn't caused me any problems later in life
