Worst injury

[MsBehave]

Just curious. Whats the worst injury any ABer has gotten? Im just the sort that gets the odd bruise but i know there are people out there who get broken limbs all the time. Whats your worst?

I've got a serious medical condition that leads to multiple dislocations without warning - usually every day. Today has been a bad day - I've dislocated both hips, one knee, one ankle, 6 toes, both shoulders and 4 fingers in the last 24 hours - most of them by doing stuff like turning over in bed, or picking up a pint of milk. Never broken anything in my life though.

When I was 21, got my heart broken, never fixed.

morning! dunno about worst but this morning as I was queuing for my paper, the guy in the kiosk stood up (he had been knelt in front of me putting the papers out) anyway I felt a massive buring sensation, I noticed he had a kinfe in his back pocket (facing up) and it had sliced the side of my leg as he stood up. Luckily I didn't cry and patched myself up as "stab wound" not too deep and I shouldn't think I'll be scarred.

Now, now, MargeB, I'm sure we can find something for that heart of yours....Dr Georgina has lots of remedies available!

Mistopheles- are you serious or kidding? I honestly can't tell...

Chipped a bone in my heel at age 3, broke my finger a few months later, broke my wrist at 6 playing football and again at 7 playing at wrestling in the back garden, cracked 3 ribs trying to rollerblade off a wall but landing on a shopping trolley, fell and split my head open at the ice rink, someone skated over my hand at the ice rink, broken my hand a few times getting into fights, cracked same ribs again(was attacked), was kicked in the head playing football(7 stitches), had a few incidents with my wee mans piercing (which we cant discuss as the last time i did it was banned) and the most recent one was breaking my foot on my works xmas night out. Yes, i was drunk, and i still dont know how i did it.

Havent laughed so much for a long time - sorry!

Smudge - car door has to be my favourite - how considerate men are (Oh and cats too - how I havent had a serious injury at feeding time I'll never know)

EEEEEEEEEeek! Some of these made me cringe!

The worst I had was a sprained left wrist and I couldn't cut my steak as it was in a sling (my arm, not the steak!) - not being able to cut my steak - now that was horrifying!!!

Oh, just thought of another. Got whiplash in a car crash about 13 years ago and ripped the muscle in my left shoulder (the trapezium muscle) and it healed in it's ripped postion. Still bloody hurts now.

And I fell down the stairs and bounced on the edge of the last four steps on my coxix (sp? - i.e. base of spine), and my back has never been the same since.
