Worst Injuries - Page 3

Probably one of my worst injuries would have to be when i was 8 or 9 and i built a little ramp in my backyard made of a wooden plank and cinder blocks. I started off in the grass and when I got to the top of the ramp my bike got stuck and i fell off. I got up and my arm was crooked. I had broken it, i had to have a cast on it for 6 weeks. The doctor said the bone almost poked through my skin on my arm. It felt like my arm was on fire when i broke it.

My worst injury was a series of scrapes and cuts from a really rough fall.

I was running the 800 meter in track, and someone ran right into me, sending me slamming down onto the concrete track. My whole left side was banged and bruised up, my elbow taking most of the damage with two big holes in it. My hip and shoulder had minor but broad abrasions, and there was a small cut on my knee.

Man, that was some fall. The craziest part was that right after they doused me in peroxide and bandaged all the cuts and scrapes up, I had to go compete in the two mile as well. I ended up placing third, which gave us enough points to win!

I've had many.

The worst of the worst came (which is also not much from what I've read) was slipping into one of those huge canals of sludge and ickiness that abounded in my old neighborhood/city/country. Horrible stink, horrible wound. I was scared I would contract some kind of plague or something to be honest, 'cause the thing was so dirty.

Second worst? Busting open both my knees when I ran down the cemetery aisle between the tombstones on a downgrade. Thank goodness it was early morning and unusually bright.

Let's see here. I've had quite a few serious injuries.

There have been 6 times when I had to have stitches on my head: 4 on my scalp and one for each eyebrow. There was another time when I was about to open a door just as somebody was coming through from the other side. I think they were in a hurry too coz they opened the door very quickly and bashed my left eyebrow. It left a deep gash. It was good enough to have stitches but I didn't get any. I now carry a scar that goes a little deep into my eyebrow.

There was another time when I was working in the family tile business. A customer wanted tile instead of carpet so we went in and tore out all the carpet. I was using a scraper to get some carpet glue off the floor. The blade was starting to get dull and not scraping as efficiently. I hit this one particular glue spot and the blade got stuck. I pushed and pushed until the blade finally got through the glue, only to end up about 2 centimeters into my big toe on the right foot. I shoulda wore shoes instead of sandals that day.

One time when I was working at U-Haul I got shot in the mouth by a pellet gun. The pellet pierced my bottom lip and knocked out the canine tooth on the lower jaw on the left side. It broke clean off right at the gumline. The root stayed. I guess I got strong roots.

In sixth grade I twisted my right knee during football practice. In seventh grade I twisted my left knee during a football game.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I jumped into a sandpit. It was about a 4 foot jump. Add that to the height of my 2 foot jump. (because I raised my legs.) Bad move. I ended up with a long-assed nail embedded clean through my right foot. That still hurts me just thinking about it.

There was this one time back in February when I dislocated my right thumb. I was working at a local bowling alley as a mechanic on the pinsetters. On one particular pair of lanes the belt that returns the ball wasn't aligned properly and the belt kept coming off. I stopped the machine, put the belt back on, and then turned the pinsetter back on so that the bowling balls could be returned to the customers. As the balls were going back, I noticed the belt was still a little bit off centered. I reached my hand in there to center it up the rest of the way when a ball came, pushing the belt up. It grabbed my hand and pulled it all the way around the pulley. My thumb ended up getting dislocated and fractured. I popped my thumb back into place right there on the spot. The fracture has since healed but the pain from the dislocation still bothers me to this day.

Out of all these, I only saw the doctor for the stitches.

Who wouldn't

When I was just a baby I cried and the tears wouldn't come out of my right eye. It was operated over three times but it eventually healed. Now my eyes are slightly different. Not exatly and injury but still.

I haven't got many anyway.

They said there was something blocking the tears in the tear-canal or something. Gives me the chills by just thinking about it. Mom said that the whole hospital rang with my crying. That's even worse.

Yours is worse. Anyway let's try and stay to the topic, this isn't a spam thread.

Once my toe nail got caught up in a gap in the floor. The whole nail ripped off and the toe started bleeding uncontrollably. I wanted to call an abulance but I didn't. The nail fully grew so I haven't go a scar.
