Your most stupid injury

I sprained my wrist giving myself some self loving.

I'll just let that sink in

How you doin'?

I fractured my wrist and don't even know what happened to it. I woke up one morning and couldn't move it. After a few days I went to the doctor, found a fracture on the x-ray. Still have no idea how I did it.

I'm a walking accident I can't pick one!

This is me...

While at a bar with my new friend and her friends my husband and I were getting ready to leave. The whole bar is PACKED full. He's a big guy and was walking ahead of I never saw the potted plant, FACE PLANTED in front of the whole bar. The worst part was the collective OHHHHHHHH of the crowd. Nothing was hurt but my pride. I held it together until we were safely on our way home!

I have two, one involving being drunk at the age of 16 and slipping on a deck off the side. Hobbled around for next two days before my mum decided I should go to docs. Ended up chipping the bone at end of fibula and being in a horrid cast for 8 weeks.

The next one, I was having quite a nightmare one night. It got to the stage where I had to karate kick these people in my nightmare to get rid of them. I remember being in a hurry to execute the kick and was struggling to actually get my leg out from under the covers of the bed to do it. Semi with it I got my leg out and did a big kick to the people except it was a wooden wall I kicked. I woke fully properly with that and had broken my big toe. :blushing:

Was washing dishes when a small glass tumbler fell into the drain, while I was trying to get it out, it shattered and cut the outside of my pinky finger to the bone. When my husband and I arrived at the urgent care I had to convince them that my big burley husband (he's huge, but a teddy bear) didn't try and attack me with a knife - they were convinced it was a "defensive" wound - he'll never live that one down!

Jeez, I've always considered myself fairly injury proof until I realize all the stupid crap I've done.

1) In the middle of winter back home a friend and I were running across a lake that was frozen over. I hit a soft spot not too far from shore, and one leg shot down into the ice cold water. Pulled my gluteus medius and had some nasty cuts down one leg.

2) First time I ever went snowboarding, I thought I was tough and went down the advanced trail. Decided to try a jump. Leaned too far forward and planted the front of my board into some soft snow. It stopped me cold, ended up with a sprained knee on that one.

3) Someone mentioned horses, which reminded me of this. I was in the third or fourth grade riding horses for cub scouts. There weren't enough horses (they were probably ponies looking back on it) for everyone, so I had to ride one with my brother, who was a few years older and about 75 pounds heavier than I. The scoutmaster had us going at a walking pace, but something spooked my horse. Horse bucked us both off. Big brother landed on me. Knocked the wind out of me pretty bad, but thankfully nothing broken!

4) In fifth grade, my best friend and I were knocking lights out of a fallen telephone pole with a hammer (we were real winners!). He cocked the hammer back when I was behind him and knocked my front teeth straight out of my mouth.

Wow, a lot of these had me actually laughing out loud!!

I have had so many stupid injuries I cant even remember most of them.

Im a package delivery driver and years ago I ran into a factory that had a garage type door to the shipping room. I lifted it, got my signature, turned to run out ( I had one more priority stop I was barely going to make) and the door had dropped..it caught me in the forhead as I exited, knocking me feet up into the air, landing flat on my back. I swear a little circle of chirping birds and daisys spun around my head like in the cartoons! I jumped up, flew to my last stop, just made my delivery in time and called an older lady on the route next to me who came and sat with me until I could see straight. That was 25 years ago and we still laugh about it.
Another time I was trotting to my truck and just as I went to hop up in the side door, I hit a mud puddle, thick like pudding. I slid. one leg up and one down, under my truck! I had to drag myself back out through the goo, legs akimbo..I was sure I broke my leg, it hurt so bad. I then had to put plastic door bags on my fabric seat because I was drenched in thick mud.

Then there was the time another courier shoved a heavy package at me, bending my thumb back, tearing the ligament that connects the whole shoulder/thumb thing. That was surgery and a knuckle to elbow cast.

How could I forget the time I stepped off of a loading dock because the company I was picking up at had locked me in, my foot went between the bumper of the van I was using that day and I fell the rest of the way, snapping my tendons. No one was around and I landed on a board with nails sticking out of it. I have never EVER felt pain like that injury. I laid there screaming, finally a trucker who knew me pulled in and got me help. my foot was twisted sideways and hanging there, triple the size of the other one. The med center nurse said "oh honey, you really broke your ankle!" Nope, but I couldnt walk for weeks.

Oh yeah, there was this other time that I was scanning and sorting documents when a coworker stupidly rolled a low, wide push cart up behind me inches from my feet. I went to step back, fell, landed on the cart, the momentum rolled me into a meal shelf and knocked me out! One of my other coworkers that saw the whole thing said I was just staring at the ceiling..I dont remember.

Recently I was delivering to a house in the winter, the snow was deep and as I walked to the front, not knowing what I was stepping on, I was suddenly going down a slick hill into some water! They had a pond going in and had slippery plastic liner under the snow! I got to finish my day soaking wet.

I just remembered stepping on a cheap set of temporary steps at a house and they snapped, I flew face first into the gravel..there was a cat sitting on the steps when that happened, God knows where I propelled him!

And that, my friends is just the icing on the cake..dang, how did I survive?

My friend offered me a package of Twizzlers, and warned "they may be a bit stale."

I opened the package and bit into one. It shattered and a shard of Twizzler stabbed my thumb. I bled all over the place.

A little stale...:grumble:
