random injury. Whats the most bizarre injury you have sustained?

[Floella]

I'm asking because I got hit on the foot last night by a dart, it punctured the little toe on my left foot, made it bleed at the time. This morning my toe is bruised and it really hurts to walk. My shoe is pressing on it making me limp, but I'm going to feel such an idiot when someone asks me why Im limping.

It definately was mud/algae from the steps tiny! I also suffered abuse at the hands of my big sister one summer. We were playing down at my cousin's field, sliding down this massive haystack that had been covered with a big tarp and she pushed me down and I went flying down too fast, tried to grab a hold of this hole at a bit that was jutting out, missed and broke my arm! My mum didn't believe that it was broken for 3 days as I had been too hard to greet about it, even at the grand old age of 8! I went on to win an art competition for a painting I did when my arm was in plaster and was so proud of myself (even though I got to spend all my time doing it as I couldn't hold a pencil well enough to write!)

I remember getting home from school when I was little and mum getting a call from my bros school saying he had had an ciident in after school football. When we got there he was laid out on a bed with one leg up in the air. He'd gone to kick the ball and his leg had got stuck, was like he'd been frozen mid kick. We went to hospital and the managed to mend him. I think they unfroze him with a big melting gun.

I broke both shins by leaping to smash a sandcastle which had beaten mine in a seaside competition.........the winner had built it on a rock.....small satisfaction as the sand turned red with my blood, though.

i could go on and on about my accidents, like, when i was in the playground at school throwing a tennis ball at the side of a classroom wall, it was only allowed to bounce once on the ground before you caught it. my mate took his turn and it bounced off at an awkward angle. i chased after it and ran straight into a concrete lamp-post head first, i cracked my skull and needed stitches and had to stay in hospital for concussion for 3 days.

I broke my leg when I was 22 one night when out with friends. I needed to spend a penny and hopped over a wall............and plumeted down a railway cutting......!

[Panic Button]

Got a small splinter in my thumb, and didn't notice at first.

It got infected, so I ended up in hospital with massive doses of various antibiotics by drip.

This didn't cure it so the toxin made its way down the carpel tunnel and infected my wrist tendons. The fingers of my hand wrapped over so I couldn't open the hand.

Ended up in an operating theatre under a local anaesthetic.

When people asked what I was in for, I felt a bfraud saying 'a splinter'

[BIG DAD]

great stories everyone, i slammed the front door shut with my brothers thumb in the hinge, the door shut all the way then sprung open, he turned a funny shade of gray and threw up, his thumb swelled up like a balloon.

[4getmenot]

oh and I electrocuted my sis once, well what else would you do if your sis was leaning on an electric fence and you found the power supply. :-)

[Floella]

It must have been a constant adventure growing up with you, 4get. I'm amazed you all made it to adulthood, and I'm surprised redcrx still talks to you. LOL.

[welshwil]

as a teenager i was running with a mate barefoot across the beach, we both clocked a polystyrene block and raced to kick it first, i won, but it turned out to be a breeze block painted white, i broke three toes and never screamed so much in my life

[4getmenot]

oh that wasnt redcrx that was lil sis. never pick on the older sis as she'd just tell. Where as with younger sis I blackmailed her when she got run over and said I'd tell mum and I also made her keep quiet for about 3hrs about her broken arm. Tee hee.

This didn't happen to me (thank goodness) but when I was working a few years ago I saw a young man I knew, limping badly. I asked him what he had done and he told me that he had been working on a ladder outside of his house. He slipped off and landed on a garden gnome, Its' hat inserting itself up his rectum. The injury required stitches.
A similar story and also true. Youth breaks into sports shop via skylight. Drops down and lands on snooker cue in same way as garden gnomes' hat. Injury so serious he nearly dies. Think he would learn a lesson? No, six months later he was out breaking and entering again.

[4getmenot]

Well what are the chances of it happening again hey?

[redcrx]

ouch chompu, they sound nasty.

4get has always been OK with me, as she says, i will tell, lol
Although when we had flats next door to each other in a very old building I once came out of my flat and slipped on top stair as i was going down. I fell quite a way and actually managed to grab a railing and stop myself, although i was upside down (head nearer bottom step than feet). I pulled myself clear and went on my way to work, hobbling.

That eve when she came to tea 4get asked if id fallen down stairs that morning as she thought she'd heard me fall.

[Floella]

Mmmm I'm not sure I'd believe his story Chompu, sounds a bit like an A&E story to explain how something got up his rectum. Very dodgy, and sounds very painful.
Love the idea of a burglar impaling himself on a snooker cue, I really hope thats true.

[4getmenot]

yer ha ha I heard thump, listened at door and heard her get up again so thought 'Ah yer she's ok'

[yinyang]

My first woodwork class at secondary school I managed to cut myself with a chisel, which isn't very odd but I managed to cut my foot! Just dropped it and it sliced right through my sock.
Also have a scar on my forehead from a couple of years ago from trying to fix the spring on an armchair. a metal clip shot out and embedded itself in my forehead only about half an inch above my eye. Think I was a bit dazed cause mum ran me over to the local surgery, dropped me off and went to park. When she came in I was standing patiently in the long queue at reception with bloood running down my face. Well, didn't like to make a scene!

I take your point on the first story although it did seem genuine. His mother was there at the time and confirmed his account.
The snooker cue burglar I can guarantee is 100% correct. The policeman who arrested him was a dog handler and put his dog into the shop when he failed to respond by coming out. When the policeman entered and saw the blood on him, he thought the dog had bit him. Consequently the dog got a right rollicking. It wasn't until they got to the police station that the burglar told them what had happened and promptly collapsed. He had to have an operation to repair the damage to his bowel etc.

my mate in woodwork got her hair caught in a wood turning thing it ripped a big clump right off her scalp. Ouch

[whiskeysheri]

God, I haven't stopped laughing at these! I'm the worst for PMSL at people who fall off kerbs! :o)

During one our play-fights when I was younger (not much!), my dad pinned me down and cling-filmed my arms to my body. I managed to get away and run through the house, but because he was chasing me, I tripped over my own feet and went flying through the open back door! My dad still cries tears of laughter at the memory.

My mum's was the best, though. I'd spent the day moving my bedroom furniture around and decided to stick my bed in the middle of the room (as opposed to up against a wall!). I called my mum in to say good night whilst I was getting my PJs on. When she came up to my door, she decided to make a running jump for my bed... bounced off it and knocked herself out on my cupboard on the other side.
:o))
