Weird Injuries...

Oh. Also, in gym class in 2nd grade during a game, a boy lost his balance and tripped into me, fell on top of me and crushed my face into the floor. I busted my lip and broke my front tooth. I think I've always held a grudge against that kid, and have been sad about having a fake front tooth ever since

OH i just thought of another one. So on my wedding day I decided that I wasn't going to use the bathroom once I had my dress on. So I got into my dress at about 1:30 pm, and when we got back to our hotel room at midnight, I REALLY had to pee. I started dancing as my husband helped to unzip the back of my dress, i shimmied out of my slip, and took off running for the bathroom. Problem was, my dress etc was still around my feet, so instead of running I just went face first into the floor. I didn't have any serious injuries, but my pride was hurting pretty bad! My husband of course had the view from behind (which involved me in a thong) and just found the whole thing hilarious. I spent the next 3 weeks traveling with big bruises on both knees!

OMG, the wedding one..on our honeymoon I kicked a suitcase and broke my toe. That night my aunt and uncle who lived in San Antonio took us to dinner on the river walk so I limped the mile walk to the resturant, and the next day I limped around Sea World!

I was babysitting once and I was playing with the kids in their back yard, around the swingset. The 5 year old and I were on the swings, but on our stomachs, pretending to 'fly'. That was fine until I could see the toddler was going to walk right in front of me and I would knock him over. So I slammed my toes into the ground to stop and yup, broke a toe.

I had a really hard time explaining to the pediatrician just what I'd been doing when I broke my toe.


When I was MUCH younger, maybe 5 or so, I was at a friend's house with a bunch of other kids. We were running around with a hose, chasing each other. I had the hose and was running with it. There was a metal hose clamp on it that I never saw. I got to the end of the hose and sliced my middle finger open on the hose clamp. I knew it was bad because the friend's parents were freaking out, there was blood just everywhere and a neighbor from around the corner came running because she heard me screaming. The stitches are still in my baby book.

I had woken up late for work and at the time lived in a split entry house.. I ran down the first 6 steps with no problem, but once I hit the second flight, my foot somehow slipped ouf from under me and I went flying in the air. I tried to turn my body to land on my hands so I could break my fall with no luck. I managed to MISS my big behind and slammed straight down on my tail bone and broke it. Needless to say, I couldn't miss work that day due to it being the day before christmas break and i wouldn't have gotten paid. Luckily I worked in a call center so I sat down all day... but boy, I couldn't sit down on a concrete floor for 6 months after!

I took a straight shot of 40 volume developer to the white of my eye.

I do hair, and 40 volume developer is the strongest lightener/peroxide mix we have. I was wearing my contacts and doing my friends' highlights. I must have had the brush and foil at JUST the right angle, but I ran the lightener along the hair and I guess flicked my wrist just right and shot a huge clump straight into my eye. It took a split second for it to register, but when it did I began freaking out. I shouted for the other girls because I just couldn't think quickly enough. My girlfriend had the chair next to me, she shot up grabbed me by the back of the neck and pretty much dragged me to the eye wash in the back. Along the way I whacked my head on the door, to add to the excitement. Afterward, we laughed because while the action itself wasn't funny, the way my girlfriend and I acted was. I miss that place But I'm very accident prone, so doing hair is just amazing for me. Cuts all over my hands, chemical burns, love it.

I am an expert at finding new ways to injure myself. ATM I have 2 bruised & skinned knuckles on one hand from winding down the steadying legs on our caravan.
A couple of months ago I managed to trip over my own feet, slip on the ice & fall face first into the metal security shutter at work. Result, my metal framed glasses split the bridge of my nose which has left a nice little scar.

And last year I slipped & fell while put walking & dislocated my ankle. It still gives my trouble 8 months later.

And all this is not counting the random cuts, bruises & dings I pick up on an almost daily basis.

Oh! does sunburn count as an injury? Cause I managed to burn the backs of my calves yesterday, so the fronts are lily white & the backs lobster red! 2 tone legs.:laugh:
