Most recent injury to yourself

[Crushgroove]

We had some overgrown climbing rose bushes on an arbor/trellis in the backyard. Stalks on one side were approaching 2" in dia and had thorns the size of shark teeth on them. I hacked them all down, cut them into manageable lengths and was placing the pieces into plastic bags.

As I was moving one full bag to the garbage can, one of the large thorns on the biggest stem caught on the bottom of the bag. It was still trapped under the weight of the pile, so as I walked away, it built up some spring tension and then released with some force when the bag ripped, driving one of those shark teeth into the top of my foot b/c my brilliant *** was wearing flip flops.

Hurt like a mofo. Anyway, that was in late July... just got the tip of the broken thorn out of the top of my foot this morning, so, I'm pretty stoked...

 

[UKserialkiller]

That sounds awful.

I wish it on no man.

Well i was going to post one, but Willy racked this thread. Thread over, Johnny tell him what he has won.:cheers2:

 

[_ukcat]

Willys post is gone. What did I miss?

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

Pecker + weed eater

 

[funKYcat75]

Dropped an iPad MEGA (or whatever it's called) on my bare foot. Rounded heavy corner on bone. Surprised I didn't break something ... I have a long list of dumb **** like that.

 

[RUPPsRevenge1]

Carrying a lazer jet printer to the basement and the heavy paper tray slide out just perfectly enough that the corner landing on the top of my bare foot. Still hurts 3 weeks later at the point of impact

 

[420grover]

Most of the things posted(except Willy's) are things that I don't really consider injuries. That's just normal **** that happens. Mine most recent injury was the result of a ladder falling and bouncing my head off the concrete. I had to get 9 staples in my head. I'd rather have bounced my head off the ground again.

 

[warrior-cat]

4 big burn blisters on the tips of all fingers of my left hand. Happened last night when helping next door neighbor work on his kids go-cart. Grabbed hot part of engine by accident not paying attention and am now paying the price.

Sounds like a real fustercluck to me.

Last fall, UK vs UL football game. Right before Lamar fumbled at the end to give us the ball back, they had a 3rd and long. If we held them, they would've had to make a long FG to win... they hit the tight end wide open in the middle, which they did the whole game, and got the 1st down. I was so pissed that I slapped down on my couch with all my force and dislocated my shoulder, tearing my labrum in the process.

I watched the remainder of the game with my shoulder dislocated and my arm locked into position above my head...but the very next play Lamar fumbled and the rest is history. I take full credit for the win for sacrificing my body to the football gods and having a will to win.

I had surgery to repair the labrum in May and am still in physical therapy... and that win made it all worth it!

Walking to the bathroom and short stepped the door frame, smashed little toe into the corner of it, killed the toenail. It'll be falling off any day now. Hurts like hell.

Three weeks ago I took a late evening walk on our Greenbelt. About halfway though my walk, I was going through a wooded, darker area of the trail and suddenly it felt like I had been stabbed in my ankle with an ice pick. First thought that went through my head was that I had been bitten by a copperhead because that was way more painful than any bee sting, but when I looked down, there was what looked to be a yellow jacket on steroids attached to my ankle and he was pissed. I knocked him off and ground him into the pavement. This SOB looked to be about an inch & a half long and unlike any regular yellow jacket. My ankle began swelling and was hurting like a mothertoucher.

I limped back to the truck and stopped at Walgreens where the pharmacist told me it was probably a hybrid yellow jacket/hornet. He said there had been several people come in this summer looking for something to put on it, but said it would probably take me a few days to recover. He was spot on with that. It hurt like a ***** for 2 days in spite of keeping it treated with antiseptics and ice. It gradually started to go down and finally after about 5 days it was back to normal. Damnedest bee sting I've ever had though.

I cut myself today to see if I still feel.

Interesting. We have a cicada killer wasp that returns every year to the same spot in our side yard to lay its eggs(?), or maybe that's where it hibernates. I also think it may be instinct for them to return to wherever they were born to lay eggs b/c it or they have been coming back for nearly 10 years here. It/they are so big, I could nearly saddle and ride. Been afraid of it for years, never really knew where its nest was until I ran over it with the lawnmower a year or so ago. She shot out the side, hovered in front of me for a second while I shat myself, then flew off like it was nothing. They say the cicada killers are incredibly tolerant, but will knock you out with their sting if they get to that point. They put the fear of God into me, I know that.

A couple of months ago I was taking out a trash bag full of aerosol cans. It had been raining and I slipped on the grass and almost fell. As I slipped, I lost control of the bag and it banged the round bone on my ankle and hurt like you would not believe. Got to work and was putting on my safety shoes when I noticed that blood had soaked my socks. Took them off and had this deep cut right on the bone and I never did think it was going to heal.

I thought you were gonna say that those aerosol cans blew off one of your arms.

One thing's for sure, when the trash bag hit my ankle it must've struck a nerve because my entire leg just buckled. It it were to happen again I don't think it could hit me in that exact same spot. Just a freak thing.

My wife and I were in Vegas in July..We stayed at the Monte Carlo which is directly across the street from T Mobile Arena. There is an sitting area across the lot from the arena, I was there Monday morning by myself then made my way back across the street. I was right in front of the hotel when I tripped on the curb and the next thing I know I am laid out flat on my face. A couple of guys helped me up as I was saying," WTF just happened." I looked down at my left knee and it was was cut pretty good and blood was pouring out of it. I looked at my right knee and it had already started to swell. I got up and hobbled inside the hotel, through the casino and up to our room. I walked inside the room and told my wife, I had an accident. She totally freaked out.We then had go to a Walgreens that was close by to buy bandages, etc. You know stuff you think you will not need on a trip to Vegas so you don't bring them. We doctored it up but the next morning my knees felt like they had been struck with a baseball bat. Needless to say this put a serious damper on our vacation as it hurt like the dickens just walking. My right knee has healed, however my left knee is still bruised and has a nice scar to prove that I should not have been smoking a pre-rolled joint at 9 am in the morning..

Looked up a photo of that. Looks mean. A buddy of mine who hunts a lot said mine sounded like a Wood Hornet. He said there were two things in the woods that he feared, and those were copperheads and wood hornets. Here's a pic of one.

I wish it on no man.

I was pulling the top off of something -- really straining

My hand slipped and executed a near perfect judo chop to my Testicular Region.....

So .... I punched myself in the nads and ..../..gasped, then made another sound.....then fell over in my own kitchen

BEFORE the drinking started.....

The next day I was looking over my shoulder back at the road I'd left behind - listening to Wagner == and turned just in time to see that I was walking full steam into one of these jumping cactus they have out here


THAT MESS just ain't right......

[CastleRubric]

sometimes I just feel stupid


and really....not so FRESH.........maybe even "unpretty"


I was at a party in the neighborhood we're moving to in Dec - new friends and whatnot

walked full steam into a closed sliding glass door --- might have passed a little fart-pootie action at the same time?

can't confirm / deny

NOW......that didn't "HURT ME" per se......but I don't think it was a very REFINED thing for an Appalachian American to do




we actually are invited back for a Halloween masquerade party though --

I'm going as Jim Jones this year

I've been lucky on the injury front recently, but back during the winter, I slipped on a tiny piece of black ice in the work parking lot, fell backwards and knocked myself TF out COLD when I landed with the back of my head onto a concrete parking stop.

Don't know how long I was out, but it scrambled my ish. Wife made me go to the ER and was pissed at me for driving home. Diagnosed with a concussion. Missed two days of work due to nausea and bad headache. I had a lingering dull headache that came and went for about a week or two. It was my first concussion since a childhood bike wreck. The adult version was much worse.

I dug some old frisbees out of storage and played disc golf again recently. It felt great until I hurt my pride keeping score.
