Stupidest Injury, you ever sustained Options

[Zelda_Zealot]

Heres one of mine. I was on my parents computer eating chips and went to try and kind of flick the salt off by shaking my hand. Now the computer desk has a door covering the computer and I had it open so it would not overheat (One little vent for a big black computer in a wooden box is not enough), it was open when I tried to "clean" my hand needless to say I am kinda clumsy, the back of my hand hit the edge of the door leaving a smilie shape brusiethingymabober. It did not break the skin but did hit a vein, so it started to bleed a bit inside my hand. Let me tell you, that is one hell of a creepy feeling . It felt like my hand was wet when it was compleatly dry... I started to feel sick and had to turn off Morrowind (GAR!!) and lie down. I almost threw up. So it really sucked... (Duh)

Don't worry though, its almost back to normal, just a small red mark on the back of my hand.

You guys (And gals) have anything you want to add?

Gee, there are so many.... Cut my finger on the lid of a cat-food can, the day of my father's funeral, wasn't even feding my cat. The same finger and the same place I had cut a few years earlier on a broken Coke bottle.

Probably the best was my broken arm, though. Long story, so get comfy.

I was 6. I had one of those stupid paddle ball deals- you know the kind with the little wooden paddle and a rubber ball attached to it with a rubber band? In a moment of genius, I decided it would be really fun to see if I could hit the light bulb on the ceiling of the front porch with the ball. Of course, I was 6 so I was short. How to add some height? I know! I will stand on one of the folding chairs from my sister's tea set. (6 inch high metal folding chair). Did it, fell off, onto concrete porch, landing on left wrist, breaking ulna and radius. Mom said she had never heard a human being make a sound like I made.

X-rays, cast from armpit to fingertips, in the summer- no swimming for me.

i burst a blood vessel a few days age. i didn't even feel and I look down and D@MN the right side of my leg was swolen. it was awesome.

but stupidest injury? hmmm....I stepped on a lego piece and it puntured my foot very deeply. it wouldn't be that bad if it was a nail because a nail is sharp right? well lego pieces are blunt so it left a pretty big hole in meh foot. i had to climb up a freaking staircase too. after 3 years if i move my foot a certain way i can still feel it.


oh and this is kind of funny. i got my first (serious) sport injury i a no-contact sport. i was running track right? and it was the first race of the friggin season (and my life i was never on a track team before that) it was a relay so i was waiting for the baton and the kid that was supposed to pass it to me came in way to fast and his shoe caught my ankle. but wait there's more.

you kinow how track runners use shoes with very sharp steel spikes in them? basically the back of my leg got mauled by a shoe. at first it didn't bleed then three large gashes under my sock started bleeding and i went to teh emergency room for the first time in my life. it was to small for stitches so they used like medical superglue.

btw ah bruise, or hematoma, occurs when a bloodvessel is broken underneath the skin .

my stupidest injury was like a week ago when the slammed m pinky finger in a car door.

umm i also broke my wrist when i was like 6. playing on the monkey bars, playing chicken war with ym sisters, needless to say a well palced kick to the chest i flew backwards and my wrist contacted perfectly with the edge of a slide.

basically it looked like this, a clean break.



the bone shifted after they set it, becuase it was so clean of a break, so they had to rebrake the bone and set it a total of three times.

ahhh .....not so nice for a 6-year old to have his wrist broken.....3 times!!!

I did a stupid thing when I was working in a microbiological lab. several years ago:

In my department at that time (summer-job) we did the dishes of laboratory equipment such as test-tubes and stuff. So first we had to put the used tubes in a steel container, then pour water with detergent onto them and then putting the steel-pot on a gas-stove to boil the whole thing. After they´ve boiled for 10-15 minutes the hot solution had to be poured into another steel container with dirty tubes.
Well after being heated for 15 min. the steel-thingy was blazing HOT, so in order to handle it I used a couple of dry towels.......

When pouring I felt a tremendous heat on my left arm, but continued to pour...

When putting the empty steel-thingy down i discovered that my left sleeve of my protective clothing was completely on fire!...So I frantically slapped my arm to my leg and naturally the rest of my robe was set on fire......A colleague immediately ran to me and tore the robe off me and onto the floor extinguishing the fire...

But my arm! A huge blackish burn had appeared, smelling like barbeque ..but worse, so for 3 months I had problems with taking showers....among other things...

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

OUCH minque that sounds dreadful, i have to say nothing hurts like a burn, i couldn't imagine a serious burn >.<

and yah i'm sure it was awful having the bone rebroken, i can rememebr it being horrible, i can remember the room, i can remember flinging the blue tony the tiger ninja star with suction cups in the waiting room, but i can't remember the actual rebraking. which i am glad about.

ow. just one thing, how do you not notice your sleeve is on fire?

[minque]

ow.  just one thing, how do you not notice your sleeve is on fire?

hehe...because I was occpied pouring the liquid...and the sleeve was burning on the lower side so it didn´t show..at first but i damn hurt ......and i noticed it immediately after putting that bowl down....

The weirdest injury I've had was when I was at school a few years back, running my hand along the chain link fence and all of a sudden my friend is like, "Dude what the hell happened to your hand?" So I looked down and there is a huge gash in my finger, to the bone. The fence cut me...I had to get six stitches over it....


And the dumbest injury I've ever had was when I was like six. We had this really high porch in front of our house, and my cousins were jumping off and landing on this old pillow thing...well I thought it looked fun so I had a go at it...you know...so I jumped over the edge and completely missed the pillow, landing on a bike. I didn't get any real bad injuries but it really sucked.

Ouch, I hate burns because in takes a while before you feel the pain.

Hmm, worst would have to be nearly spraining my ankle. I never got it checked out and after a while of sports and running, I get yearly pains that are almost crippling. I can barely walk with those pains and when they come, they don't leave for about four months.

Stupidest? Well, when I was about two, I put a toy's fist up my noes. I had to go to the emergencey room.

Another would be when I was swimming with a lot of friends, and we had been diving and jumping in. I heard "Oh my god! He's bleeding" so what did I say? "Who? What happened to him. I swim up to the edge and see some blood so I look over to my friend swimming beside me who had no blood on him. I rubbed my face because I thought I had some snot hanging out. My hand and face was covered in blood. Didn't stop bleeding for about three minutes and had so sign a form.

[DoomedOne]

I once chipped a tooth trying to frocefull remove some corn from my teeth. I don't have weak teeth, I'm just an idiot.

[ShogunSniper]

how do you chip a tooth trying to do that?! trying to get the corn out with a jackhammer?

[DoomedOne]

No, I had my lower jaw position soi there was an extreme amoutn of pressure from my upper jaw, meanwhile I was shoving a tooth-pick up from the bottom. The corn went flying and the shock of it must have made the force between my upper and lower jaw increase ever so slightly so they a tiny piece of a tootch cracked out.

[ED 209]

I had a fight with this russian guy and I won, then I was showing off to this crowd of peopl (many girls to make mattersworse), and I was demonstrating how i won, (I kneed him in the face), when I put too much power into the knee and kneed myselfe in the nose, not only did I damn near break my nose, but the blood ruined my jumper. After I got up i was just standing there, my nose pumping and all these girls laughing at me, all I could do was laugh myself, I still find it funny now, five years later!

I used to live in a house with hardwood floors. Well, I got the bright idea that I would dust them with pledge to make them shiny. (boredom struck) So I put pledge on them, them wiped 'em down. Well, it made the floor really slippery. Once I was done putting pledge on the floors at the top of the steps, I began walking back downstairs in socks. I slipped and fell down, getting really bruised up and sore.

[ShogunSniper]

DUDE
i've done that on tile floor! you can go pledge skating.

Stupidest, Along time ago (I don't remember all I know is it was before 5th grade) I was diving into a pool(the deep end) and then I got bored at the deep end so I moved to the shallower end and without thinking, just getting in the water I found out I dove and I chipped nearly all of the teeth on my lower jaw, I wimpered (ok I probebly cryied) all the way home. I also had to walk home becuse it was the naberhood pool so naturally my parents wouldn't drive down a street and then for 2 or 3 blocks....


Another was when I was swinging on a swing during the summer, I think it was the summer before my 7th year of schooling, (Yes I noticed that all my dates are related to school I don't know why) I juped out of the swin and then amoment later I ended up faceing the ground and so i stuck out my arm to protect me. oh course I think I sprained my arm(yes not that bad but it hurt lik heck)

[Wurlon]

OMFG listen to this,

It was last school year, I'm sitting in science bobbing my head back and forth because the teacher is waiting for everyone to be done with some tests (in which I did and forgot to bring a book) and the kid behind me thought it would be funny to stick his pencil where my head would land, and I bobbed my head back and it stuck to my head, and went to the nurse for like five minutes.


Today's stupid injury was when I was chucking the channel changer up and down and I was trying to catch it without looking, and I threw it up really high. It head me straight on the head and hurt like heck.

Once at baseball practice they had those net things you throw the baseball at and it flings back, well I kind of was right next to it and caught it with my face.

During gym in fifth we were playing CoverBall, which is game my teacher invented where five people use dodge balls to get people out while they try to circle the gym (two basketball courts long) and I accidently knocked over the matt we were using and got four people out at once

[Chumbaniya]

Ok, I think there are two that deserve mentions here:

1. At the age of about 3 (or something like that, I was young anyway) I used to have a little stool so I could reach the sink and wash my hands. All of the time I used to mess around on the stool and my mum kept warning me that I could fall off. On the only day that I didn't mess around on it, I fell off and smashed my chin off the sink, giving me a really deep cut that somehow went upward through my chin (I still don't understand quite how it worked) and I had to have it stitched up.

2. I nearly took out my eye by... bumping into a greenhouse. I never had any ideas that greenhouses could be so sharp. I think I was running around my grandparents garden when I clipped the side of my head off some part of the wood surrounding a window (it was a sort of wood/brick greenhouse). Luckily for me my eye didn't actually hit the wood, but I still have a scar right next to my eye from where I got hit.
