injurys

[Sylvanfan]

Well my list is pretty short.

Stitches in my face when I was like 5 and go pushed into a fence while playing tag

Stiches in my head at the age of 8 when I climbed a tree only to have the tree snap while I was hanging on to the top. Cracked my noggin on a rock on the fall.

Broken collarbone at 15 from a very dumb skateboard incident. At least I only missed three weeks of hockey.

Broken nose after taking a puck in the face at a rec league hockey game. We only had 7 guys that night, so I came back looking like Killer Carlson with bloody hockey tape on my nose.

This summer I suffered a couple of stupid minor injuries that are still nagging me. In June I was trying to show my wife how to golf at a driving range. It's a grass range, but they have a rope to set where you should be hitting from. I wasn't paying attention and got too close to the rope and caught the head of my 3 wood just as I hit the ball and jammed my wrist. I've been able to play golf still, but it's not 100% and still bothers me. Than in August I was running my dogs one night in the dark. I stepped on a rock on the sidewalk and rolled my ankle good. I had to crawl home with the two dogs, and still can't run on that ankle. Moral of the story, as you get old your body gets brittle. So enjoy the reckless life while you're young!

-deviated septum (fancy way of saying I broke my nose kneeboading) still can't breathe out of one side of it.

Out of all your injuries that is by far the funniest.

No, my humerous was.

Actually, I forgot one. I broke my ulna swinging from the monkey bars when I was 6 at summer camp.

I also grew up with a trampoline, and it was a continual site of carnage until we gave it away when I was about 14. One of my many concussions ocurred on that mofo, after a heated battle of WWF and me getting leg dropped in the eyeball. Looking back I still can't believe we never got sued over that evil thing. No pads, missing springs (made it more bouncy allowing for higher jumps) and right beside the house which we used to jump off looking for the ultimate airtime. More than one small child impaled himself on the fence after miscalculating his trajectory. I leaned at a young age how to deal with pain with that contraption in th back yard.

Just wondering sir Tron...I know as a parent that trampolines are dangerous...yet you suggest you jumped off the house on to the thing,impaling several friends on a nearby fence. Now Im not so silly as to think they were impaled...although the mental picture that provided was hilarious...but regardless didnt your parents have any concern about safety especially after the .....5th or 6th injury?

Broken home, mom worked full time, no supervision, kid with a VERY large imagination, there were a lot of things I did that should have either put me in the hospital, put someone else in the hospital, or plain burned down the house. Seeing as I was making a valiant attempt at all 3 on pretty much a daily basis the trampoline was the least of their worries.

I credit my speedy feet and my quick wit (mostly my feet though) for getting me through my childhood with no major catastrophes or criminal record.

[Flashpoint]

I drank a slurpee too fast once and got a wicked headache for about 2 mins.

It was brutal.

I'm lucky to be alive.


(I also slashed my radial and digital nerves, multiple tendons and my arteries in my right wrist when I fell into a wall in grade 7 holding a glass bottle filled with lemonade. fudging gyser of blood, and to this day no feeling in my pinky and ring fingers).

I'm a chest freezer too.

As for injuries, many many sprained fingers (and a crooked middle finger to prove it) sprained ankles, sprained back, broken foot that my friends made me drive home with (my clutch foot) after a ball hockey game, and 14 stitches from hitting a rut on the bowness lagoon.

[sketchyt]

I once read a Maxim article about a guy who literally broke his penis being a little too over-zealous when he was having ...ummm... relations.

As for me, I once knocked myself out with my own ski-pole because I had the strap around my wrist. My face kind of looked like the 2005 version of Mats Sundin. I should have wore a visor.

[Indi]

I had my hand trapped in a door, with two huge fans running behind it, the suction of the fans slowly squeezing the door shut....it crushed the metacarpals in my hand...snapped one by one....I dont think I'll be doing that again any time soon

Ugh, breaking bones is possibly the worst sound in the whole world, if you ask me.

I have broken my wrist, the one and only time I went skiing. I have broken my leg and got some other minor injuries because of a car accident. Broke a couple toes and one finger. Got a concussion once and have had more stitches then I can remember. I seem to cut myself quite a bit.

I get both..............

[SoulOfTheFlame]

Shattered my left arm from elbow to shoulder.

4 hours of reconstructive surgery and months of Pysio Therepy, and I could bend my arm again!

Also dislocated my kneecap... It's never been the same... so much for high impact sports.

[Inferno]

I'm lucky. I have yet to break anything. The worst injury I can probably say I've got is I went down on my knee wrong during hockey practice and could barely walk for a few days.

ouch.. how did it feel to break bones like that? *shudder*

[Vulcan]

Broke both of my legs, my ankle and crushed my heel when I fell at work. Lost an inch on my right leg that time. Broke a couple of bones in my left hand and also crushed three fingers [that was fun sticking hot needles under my nails every night to relieve the pressure].Broke my right pinkie. Broke my cheekbone [don't blow your nose or your whole side of your face puffs up]. Had a couple of concussions playing baseball and water on the knee playing football. Had my teeth pushed through my lower lip a couple of times and scar tissue in various other areas. Had a chunk of flesh taken out of my knee when a cable snapped while I was standing on a 8" beam on the 14th floor of the Shell Centre. Oh yea, a nurse paralized my left leg when she hit a nerve giving me an injection, has been weak ever since. Luckily I don't suffer from arthiritis or any lingering soreness.

[Abstract]

Nothing too serious i guess. Broke my arm when i was about 6 or 7 cos my brother threw me off his back. Im sure i make that sound more deliberate on his part than it was. Broke a toe playing football when i kicked the undersole of a guys boot instead of the ball. Man that hurt. Broke a finger blockin a shot in hockey. Hurt like hell. Broke my nose and cracked some ribs when i crashed my car. Didnt hurt at all. Shock is a wonderful thing!
