Injury Thread

[Grumma]

HA!

Am I brilliant or what!?

I remember we had one of these on the old boards and we're talkin bout it in the LoveHate thread so yeah .. .

Anyway worst thing to happen to me was that I flatlined when I was a couple of weeks old and havin an operation on my stomach

[GoodOrEvil]

Not very much. About 6 years ago I was playing netball and I caught the ball oddly. Dunno what happened but the tendon in my right-hand pinky is now gone.

[Grumma]

lol.

Interesting . . .

[Jawn]

I spent 50 days in an Intensive Care Unit, most of them unconcious, attached to a whole heap of machines that made me breathe because I couldn't do it myself anymore. I have some kick-arse scars from that ordeal. None of which you shall see because I am not taking photos of them. You just gotta trust me on it.

[Grumma]

Knew, as soon as I saw you post here, you were gonna bust out the pwnage

[Jodez]

Early last yr I rolled my ankle ( i think i did more damage than i know - i didnt xray) and i was on a class trip to the city ..so i did that as i was running to the tram, in the morning, and i spent the whole day on it- it hurt so bad- and i when i got home, i took my shoe off...and like my ankle was a funky blue colour..then about 10min later it blew up about 3 times normal size. it was fucked for about 5months..

then in october at concert- my leg got fucked up..and it still is..damn bitch

when i was younger - i rode up a bike ramp, came crashing down and smacked on of my teeth..its fucked now to- i fractured that (teeth dont heal from that) so its not white white anymore and yuck lol

and.....the other day i grazed my arm..and it looks like carpet burn :p


Im glad your better Jawn!!!

EDIT: I just remembered...I got hit in the head with a Bowling Ball...like..it hurt like crap

[Grumma]

A bowling ball? ^o) riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

[Jodez]

Well it was a fuckwit from school - we had ten pin as a sport hehe- and i bent down to do my shoelace, and for some reason he had a ball in his hand while swinging it around like an idiot and smacked it into my head when he swung his arm back...moron

[Grumma]

. . . Bahahahahahaha!

[damo0945]

hmmm...

i split my eyebrow in footy last year and it bled a lot and i had 5 stitches, i think thats the coolest one

[Jawn]

Knew, as soon as I saw you post here, you were gonna bust out the pwnage

Who wants to hear about my funky as hallucinations and stuff I remember whilst being whacked out on all the sedatives? You don't? Oh well, I wanna type on the keyboard so I will anyway!

I can't remember what exactly I was on, but I had morphine, and ketamine (thats a horse tranquilizor. Its also a recreational drug, it fucks you up pretty bad. I think some dude peeled his face off and fed it to his dog high on ketamine. But that could be a lie. I'm not researching into that just now.) I remember closing my eyes to go to sleep but I could still see the ward. But with subtle changes, like a SOFA in the MIDDLE of the ward. There is no real sofa in the middle of the ward, but thats what I was seeing. Oh, and I was convinced that a car managed to crash into an ambulance directly outside the window behind me. The cool thing is, THERE WAS NO WINDOW BEHIND ME. And sometimes, I thought they were taking me somewhere, when they weren't. And as they were taking me somewhere. The setting changed. One time, I was being wheeled around in a mansion. Tops stuff. Apparantly once I was complaining that I could see myself looking at myself from outside my isolation room (I was put in isolation because I have some kind of superbug. Im like the 32nd person in Australia to get it or something. It does nothing to me except get me my own single room in hospital because they are scared of more people getting it. Pretty cool). I don't remember that though because I think I was sleeping. Or something. Either way, I don't remember that particular one.

When I woke up, I discovered I was pretty much paralysed from the shoulders down. You see, when you are lying down for a whole heap of days and they pump you full of steroids, you lose all your muscle and you literally can't move. I had no movement in my arms, or my legs. I had a trachie-ectomy (sp?) in my throat so I couldn't talk or eat or drink either. But I'm a tough nut and soon they let me start drinking with the tracchie in. They made me drink water with blue food colouring because they wanted to see if the water was going in my lungs. But it wasn't. They stopped that when they realised how hardcore I am. I also learnt to eat, but everything had to be vitamised (mashed up) at the start. That sucked. Anyways, when they woke me up I spent the rest of my ICU days having my limbs moved for me by the physio and learning to breath again. When I got out and into a proper ward, it was pretty much the same. But I could breath better and didn't have the tracchie so I could eat and drink and talk. But sometimes I forget I could talk, which annoyed the nurses. And then I started talking again, and that annoyed them too. I took my first steps for the second time in the ward. They then kicked me out to rehab where I did more walky exercises. At first, old people were doing better at getting out of chairs and walking than me. But then, I started to kick their arses and got out of rehab after like 20 days. I can't really remember.

I'm so fucking tough.


Oh, I also have a hose in my arm, like right fucking now. I'll show you a picture of what the hose looks like but I'm too lazy to take pictures. It kinda looks like this:

[Grumma]

random fact: Brian Molko wrote a song about Ketamine

[damo0945]

fuck, what did/do you have (jawn)?

[worry_rock]

But sometimes I forget I could talk, which annoyed the nurses. And then I started talking again, and that annoyed them too.

Lawl!

And the worst part of Jawn's ordeal was that he couldn't make Jawn Polls. I think that's what motivated him to take those first steps...

[Julian]

I nearly died from a severe asthma attack when I was younger. I can't remember how old I was but I still remember it all fairly clearly. But does that even count as an injury?

I was in hospital alot as a kid cause of tubes in my ears and stuff and a knee operation.

But other than that, I am suprisingly invincible in broken bones sorts of injuries. Which is weird cause i've played contact sports and i'm skinny as hell.

Man, that's gotta suck. I'm a wimp with just a drip in my arm, i'd be such a little girl with something like that! Hope you get better

[mel_bound]

Jawn, you're my hero!

I've had a few injuries and junk, nothing super serious though:
Cracked my head open 2 times
Broken my right arm
Torn my right knee open, required skin grafts and 'cosmetic surgery'. I now have no proper feeling on the skin anymore, but it hurts if you touch it
Arthroscopy on the other knee, it was clicking something horrible and apparently I tore my medial meniscus. They fucked up my nerves on that knee so it hurts when you touch it too.
Plenty of other goodies not worth a mention

[Disease]

I did this yesterday:

[Jawn]

Man, that's gotta suck. I'm a wimp with just a drip in my arm, i'd be such a little girl with something like that! Hope you get better

It looks a lot worse than it is. Seriously, you don't know its in there. I feel it when drips are in me. These suckers take that away. Plus they are in for a good few months, as opposed to a few days for a drip. And you can take blood out of them, so blood tests with a needle aren't as frequent. Takes about 10 minutes to put in, and if the doctors are nice they give you some anaesthetic and your in la-la land.

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone. At the moment things are going just peachy.

EDIT: oh and damo, I had a chronic lung syndrome called Boop. Which stands for Bronchial organised obliterating pnumonia. They changed the name recently though. I think because it was too close to "boob".

[Strider]

Funny this thread just got created. I broken my friggen little toe tonight. I was sparring against my Sifu in Martial arts and I landed awkwardly after a kick and snapped it clean in half. It's just hanging on my foot haha It's starting to swell now. Just what I needed, I'm supposed to be competing in the National All Styles next month!

Worst injury I did was playing Footy. I cappered this massive dude, took a screamer of a mark, then he decided to throw me into the turf. I landed right on my shoulder and broke my collarbone. The funny thing is I didn't get off the ground. I got back up. My arm was a bit numb and I didn't realise I'd done some serious damage until I went up for the next mark and felt a sharp pain shoot through my arm.

[Jake]

Broke my right arm by falling off the top of a slide. My mum's friend, a nurse, told me nothing was wrong with me, just a bruise. 5 hours later, still in pain, the x-ray machine at A+E said otherwise.

Dislocated and broke 2 fingers on my left hand just by falling and sliding with my hand under me. 2 general anaesthetics to pop them back into place.

Sprained ankle from landing wrong on the playground.

Fell up the stairs and landed on my knee-cap. Due to intense bruising, I had to alter my walking for a while, which has led to prolonged hamstring problems. I still do physio on it.

Muscles at the sides of the pelvis/hips have prolonged problems, so I have physio on that too.

Woohoo.

[Neryssah]

Broken my ribs three times. Twice from being kicked by psycho horses, once from being attacked by a psycho person who threw a chair at me. I've cracked a few as well, but yeah. Not so bad.

Fingers, I don't even know how many times I've broken/dislocated them. Stupid stupid stupid. Most of it's from netball & basketball, once was from horses, and then there's my personal favourite. I was late for a party and had to run back into the house to get something. Our downstairs door is broken, so you have to normally really ram into it to get it to open in a hurry. So I ran up, took a flying leap at the door which turned out to actually not have closed properly so I just hit it and kept going, tripped, and fell down the stairs on my arm. Broke three fingers.

I dunno if this really counts as an injury, but I've got something so wrong with my back & neck. It has a fancy name but I can never say/spell it. Basically my back curves -way- too much, so my neck goes all weird to compensate. GO ME!

[Kacky]

I broke my left arm before.

I just so happened to be skating on my Dad's outdoor ice-rink, I couldn't seem to stop myself so I headed for a snowbank, and just as I was ready to sit in the snowbank, my feet came out from underneath me and I landed on my arm and twisted it. Hurt like a bitch and ended up getting it casted. I havn't skated a lot since.

[The Dying Start]

- Accidentally sawed my own leg. 2 stitches

- Sliced my leg open on a piece of tin. Down to the bone. 6 stitches

- Fell off the back of a friends bike and ate bitumen. 7 stitches in top lip.

- Got cleaned up by a ignorant fuck whilst I was riding to school in year 7. She ignored a Give Way sign and hit me. Despite running over a child, she still didn't realise and drove 100 metres down the road with me and my bicycle trapped underneath unil a screaming pedestrian finally got her attantion.

- Knob-end threw a CD like a frisbee across a crowded classroom and it hit me in the face just below my eye. Cut to the bone (Just where the base of the nose is).

- Trod on a piece of wood with a nail coming up though it. Didn't quite pierce my foot!

[Kacky]

Wow, Glenn, you've had quite a lot of injuries.

Another one of my injuries was a result of highjump in grade 7.
Instead of using the pole for practise, we used string so it didn't hurt as much. So anyway, when it came my turn what I didn't know was that someone in my class tied the string around the side poles...so when I went to jump, I ended up hitting the string and both poles came down and hit me in the head pretty hard. I take my hand off my head, after my little freakout and there was blood...no stitches, just a big headache.

[The Dying Start]

Most of them were from 16 and under. I'm luckier now. *knock on wood*

[Grumma]

Yeah you do the most stupid stuff as a kid.

So as you can all imagine; I must have been bad :p

I remember, before we got a remote garage, I tried to swing (on the rope thingy) from the garage to the letterbox (a good 15m).
As you could guess; I fell considerably short

[Strider]

But when you're a kid your body can recover a lot easier! The bones are a lot more flexible and you're still growing. When you've reached your peak growth that's when the trouble start.

[Grumma]

True dat.

And my car crash (and lots of other non-fatal ones) is a testiment to the durability of the human body. 4 of us in the car and none of us required professional medical treatment

[Colezy]

Oh, I also have a hose in my arm, like right fucking now. I'll show you a picture of what the hose looks like but I'm too lazy to take pictures. It kinda looks like this:
http://www.royalmarsden.nhs.uk/captchemo/images/piccline.jpg

My auntie is in Hopsital right now. She's forever going in and out the damn place. I know my way around most of the hospital floors and wards due to her being in there so often! Anyway, she has a similar thing in her arm at the moment...pretty much like this:

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/963/picclinelm9.jpg It's being used for long term antibiotic treatment. She is also having her foot off soon.




As for me, when I was nine I fell off my bike (riding way too fast) and broke my left arm at the growth plate. Took three months to heal and during those three months, my arm didn't grow, so now its shorter than my right arm :p
Have had many broken fingers from playing various sports. Black eyes, bloody noses etc. Was run over by a water truck when I was 7 and riding my bike to the shop for lollies - broke my ankle.

[Kev]

I've fallen from my bike heaps of times, no broken bones though. Just bruising and a scrape here and there. Nothing extreme

Same goes for riding the skateboard. Fell off plenty of times, never did any extreme damage. Just bruising etc.

I did fall off the bed one night and did something to my collar bone. But I was little and don't remember squat about it.

[Grumma]

Yeah bike accidents are pretty much garauntee'd.

I always owned myself cos I'd be the one forced to try everything first by my friends <_<

[worry_rock]

I know this accident prone kid. Was my brother's best friend back in high school, he's about 22 now.

He was mountain biking or something similar and BROKE HIS BACK. This was just last year or early this year. He's lucky, he was close to becoming paralysed. Was in hospital for ages and needs physiotherapy and the like.

- He's had a shotput thrown into the back of his head.
- Rode his bike into a river.
- Broken most bones.
- Electricuted. Twice.

He's just that kinda guy...

[Grumma]

My mate from footy stuck a piece of soldering iron into a live powerpoint.

I split my sides laughing when he told me

[Jodez]

Lucky for me ive gotten away unscathed from lightning, but only just...

[Jake]

I dunno if this really counts as an injury, but I've got something so wrong with my back & neck. It has a fancy name but I can never say/spell it. Basically my back curves -way- too much, so my neck goes all weird to compensate. GO ME!


Scoliosis?

[Neryssah]

Don't think so. It's got a P in it.

[Armistice]

When I was in 8th grade(99-00) I was playing basketball(net ball?) and I tried to steal the ball and even though I didn't hit the ball hard, I still managed to chip a small corner of the 1st bone from my knuckle on the outside. Swelled up something nice and dark blue. That's my onle break, which I don't count as a bone break

Have sprained my wrist. Fell funny off my skateboard sometime in 7th grade (98-99). Wore my moms wrist brace

While I was working at my first job (05) I was grinding burrs off a table. The cord for snagged and so instinctivly yanked on it. Well, the grinder hit a bracket nearby and bounced off and got my neck as it wound up in my Dickies workshirt. I now have 3 scars... 1 at 3", 1 at 1" and the 3rd at .5"... as well as 2-3 circular scars that look like pimples. The biggest is 1" off centre from the centre of my neck. Good thing they were only deep enought to scar and not tear into vitals. Actually it was deep enough to sever nerves I think coz I didn't know it gashed me until my boss said I was bleeding pretty well. I even used an alcohol wipe to clean it(which burn like hell) and IT din't even hurt. No stiches though

[The Dying Start]

That last one is a corker!

[Julian]

I didn't know it gashed me until my boss said I was bleeding pretty well.
I loled at that

[Habibster]

umm no real injuries for me...except for when i was playing cricket in my older brothers team I was fielding at short cover and some old fart smashed a drive and i dived to catch it, dropped the catch, broke my thumb and my index finger and split the webbing between the two...the breaks weren't that bad but the split webbing was painful.

[Armistice]

That last one is a corker!

Corks go in wine bottles, dude, lol

Julian: Glad that my misfortune caused you happiness, haha :D

[i_heart_you]

i split my toe in half jumping off a dock once.

5 stiches to the chin when i was kneeling on a chair, and it fell forward, and i smashed my face on the table.

best story is when i was 10-12ish, when i was a little tomboy. my parents tried to protect me from running with the neighborhood boys by buying me a large moutain bike, so i couldn't keep up with the boys' trick bikes. that didn't stop me. they used to ride over skateboard ramps, and dared me that i couldn't clear it. so i started at one end of the street and went flying over this tiny little ramp and cleared it by about 20 feet, and then smashed my face into the handlebars, got my legs tagled in the bike chain, and then fell over. since i was going so fast, and since i was attached to the bike, i got dragged another 15 feet across cement and stones. needless to say, i was cut up good.

then, 2 days later, i was 'it' while playing bike tag (once again on my moutain bike) and were were going down an alley and i hit a garbage can and fell in a pile of glass.

:)

[Aaron]

Hurrah, broken wrist photo time again!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/azfish/wrist.jpg

[Grumma]

I loled at that

That happened when I got the stitches in my ear.

I asked someone to look at it cos I got elbowed and they're like ":eek: You're bleeing!"

[damo0945]

Hurrah, broken wrist photo time again!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/azfish/wrist.jpg

i think ive seen that photo before, was it broken right near a hospital? haha

[Aaron]

Yep :)

That story has been on the last three or so message boards. I can't be bothered recounting it again.

[damo0945]

those of us who know shall have a quiet chuckle then ;)

[Fritz]

i once obtained a sex injury involving my doodle.

i'll continue on if anyones interested but im sure noone is..

[Grumma]

*hopes Glenn doesn't see the post*

[Johnny_Wah]

*Hopes Mick doesn't continue*

[Burner]

Well *i'm* interested in how you got it mick. I don't want it happening to me.

[Grumma]

He has a point ^

[Burner]

I'm always keen to know how to avoid injuries like that.

[Grumma]

Exactly.

prevention is the best cure

[Burner]

Thats your cue to continue mick. 2 or more people is an audience.

[Johnny_Wah]

Make that three.






I need to grow a mind of my own.

[Liz]

Pulling a hammy hurts likes hell.

But the most painful things to happen to me have been;
Being hit in the head with a tennis ball.
Being hit in the head with a tennis racquet.
Being hit in the face with a basketball.
Running into a netball pole.
Falling into soccer/hockey goals.
Being hit in the arm with a hockey ball.
Being hit in the nose with anything always hurts...

I'll come back to my list.

[Grumma]

I keep telling you:

Tennis balls aren't hard!

[Liz]

It was being hit hard!
And it just happened to hit my head!


It hurt.

[Grumma]

Nawwww snookums *pinches her cheeks*

[worry_rock]

I had a hernia when I was like 7.

Haha, go me.

[Grumma]

rofl . . .

Anyway . . .

Last year I had groin problems where my muscles kept pushing out the nerves

[fordchick888]

i stepped on a sewing needle (eye facing up) when i was in grade six, and had half of it in my foot for a couple of days because the doctor didnt believe it was anything...until i had an xray! Had to go in hospital to get it out cos i used to get asthma and missed my grade 6 camp :(
also pulled a hammy in indoor cricket, made me face another ball or forfeit, damn insensitive ump!

[Liz]

Nawwww snookums *pinches her cheeks*

*pouts*

You suck.

[Grumma]

For once I don't have a comeback . . .

[Liz]

It took me a while to think of one for the pinching cheeks-ness.

[Grumma]

And after all that you couldn't think of something more original than pouting :p

[Liz]

Yep! :D

I'm not exactly the brightest person...

:p

[Grumma]

Your hair begs to differ :p

[Liz]

What?
I didn't even understand that you see... :p

[Grumma]

Bright . . . Hair . . .

no?

[Liz]

AH!
I GET IT!

Actually it's not that bright anymore...

.... How do you know what my hair looks like...?

[Grumma]

Ionno.

I've just always known that you're a firey

[Liz]

You're right there.
If anyone gets on my nerves, they're in for it.

:)

Anyway, back to the injuries!

[Grumma]

I think having red hair would classify as an injury :p

[Neryssah]

Thought of another one.

Sometime last year one of my horses, the craziest one, reared up and landed on my foot. I was wearing chucks at the time, which have all the protective value of a thick sock, so my foot ended up really nasty. I took my shoe off a few minutes later and my foot was already completely black, not cool. And yeah, I have this funny mark thing from it now. Plus, found out the other day, nerve damage. YEAH.

[Grumma]

I can think of worse places to have nerve damage

[Burner]

rofl . . .

Anyway . . .

Last year I had groin problems where my muscles kept pushing out the nerves

You've got groin problems and mick has sex injuries.


hmmm...

[Colezy]

Haha, dont make Mick stoop down to Grummas level :p

[cdejonge]

Haha, dont make Mick stoop down to Grummas level :pMaybe his stooping down is what caused the injury :p

[Colezy]

Haha, maybe!!
*tries to get rid of unwanted mental imagery*

:p

[Rosie28]

my friend kicked me today.
i have a little bruise

[wizard_23]

hmm i cant top alot of the ones on hear but....

had menigitis wen real little but pulled through after a bit of a stay in the royal childrens (donate on good friday, Great Cause!) luckily.

Got hit in the head by a cricket bat in year 8. was at a party and i was walkn past a guy and he went 4 the big six and hit my face over the boundary. ouch!

Tore ligements in both ankles a cupla times and had a few pushbike stacks but i consider myself damn lucky to never reali break a bone. hmm toes dont count do they?

oh... and the last coupla months ive had these weird heart pulpultaion thingys. only had bout six but theyre scary so 2moz ive gotta get a blood test and wear a heart monitor 4 24hrs. fun fun!

[Marv From NZ]

WOW! You're a trooper!

Well apart from my numerous cricket injuries, i'd have to say when i popped my kneecap out of place while playing rugby, takes the cake as my best injury. Basically i got tackled in a real awkward position, and yeah the dude jolted my kneecap out of place lol. I basically couldn't walk, and yeah had a phat limp for a few weeks. It bothers me to this day and my knee locks up alot, which sucks, especially when i play cricket.

[Colezy]

Tore ligements in both ankles a cupla times and had a few pushbike stacks but i consider myself damn lucky to never reali break a bone. hmm toes dont count do they?

I have permanently torn ligaments in my ankles. I didn't list them in my post earlier though beacause its permanent. It sucks big time though and stuffed up my swimming so much that I had to 'retire'.

[Marv From NZ]

Haha "retire", i'm sorry but that made me laugh! how old were you?

[Grumma]

WOW! You're a trooper!


You take my life and I'll take yours too
You fire a musket but I'll run you through
When you're waiting for the next attack
Stand your ground there's no turning back

[Colezy]

Haha "retire", i'm sorry but that made me laugh! how old were you?
Haha, yeah.. well I was 17 when I finally had to stop competing. I started when I was 9, and it was my whole life, it was all I did. I lived and breathed swimming! So yeah, it was like retiring! :p
Especially going from state and national training and competitions and being up and 4 most mornings to doing nothing and sleeping in until 6! :D

[Grumma]

I retired from tennis . . .

Mainly cos it was so boring.
Funnily enough I gave up playing before I gave up lessons

[Liz]

*gasp*
How could you not enjoy tennis?

Back to my injuries...
I fell off a high jump mat once.
I cleared the jump and fell off.
Really hurt.

[Grumma]

I enjoyed tennis; just not sitting around for 30mins inbetween sets.

Sets which would only go for up to 20mins the way I played (bust or boom)

[Higgins]

i have never had any serious injuries like broken bones nearly dying etc.
i am although prone to falling over in front of people and embarrassing myself.

Examples of these is when i slipped in mud then hit my head on concrete, my dress went up at the back so all the people behind me could see my underwear and my forehead was bleeding a fair bit.
Another time i was in my school bus bay, and pretty much half the school was in the bus bay at the time aswell. Anywhoo what happened was i tripped over a bag and did this funny little tumble thing down the hill. i landed on my ass with most of my friends on the floor with laughter and the teachers around me making smart ass comments aswell. Definetly not my proudest momment.

Im also prone to hurting myself in the kitchen wether is cutting my self or burning myself.
i have a massive scar on my finger from cutting it while cutting veges, i also managed to cut myself while polishing fruit while on work placement.

i have also dropped a hot iron on my stomach, steam burns on my arm, massive scar on my hand from accidently touching the element in an oven and random other burns here and there.......Like i said nothing life threatening just embarrassing

[Grumma]

my dress went up at the back so all the people behind me could see my underwear


If that's all you ever accidentally reveal consider yourself lucky :p

[Higgins]

oh ive accidently revealed a few other things, i just choose not to disclose those things. when i say accidental i mean i had way too much to drink

[Grumma]

Psssh well what do you expect

[Neo]

I have an injury! I sprained my wrist yesterday while struggling to open cake mix :p its still really sore :(

[The Dying Start]

That's one of the most retarded things I've ever heard. Congratulations.

[Jake]

I managed to strain my wrist a few times at work. Firstly carrying 2m Christmas trees to customer's cars - I didn't have a good hold on it but kept going and that was my wrist done for a few days.

I manage to get it wrong when carrying the bags of compost, sand or pebbles too.

[Armistice]

i once obtained a sex injury involving my doodle.

i'll continue on if anyones interested but im sure noone is..


AAAHAHAHAHA :D

ROFLCOPTER

I'd laugh more, but I'm in class, thanks ;)

[Armistice]

I think having red hair would classify as an injury :p

Shut up!

[The Dying Start]

That's because your knob ain't big enough!

[Grumma]

I don't see how that would make that happen . . .

[The Dying Start]

Your hand keeps slipping off the end.

[Grumma]

I still don't get how that would give you a sore wrist

[Colezy]

It's 3.15am and I can't get to sleep so I started to look through some peoples myspace pages (as you do :p).

Found this beauty on an mates page. He did it while surfing.

[Youngun]

I don't remember many of my injuries, however the other day at work I splashed boiling oil on my hand, now I have like a million red spots on my hand (they are the burns(they don't hurt so much now though whcih is good))

[Grumma]

That was a pretty sick golf ball bruise

[bringin' it all back home]

i ran into a brick wall and had to get stitches....

i've almost drowned 3 times....

i am an injury to the world....

the other day i lent on the hot stove / element thingy and burnt my entire hand so it is a big blister... the day before my sisters wedding...!!

i fell out of bed and broke my leg.. that hurt....

i slipped off the water park and hurt my tail bone, may have broken it... it still hurts after a year and a bit...

i fell down the gully at school and got stuck after ripping my skirt.. whoops!

[Kacky]

I got bit in the face by a German Shepherd when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I went with my dad to keep him company while he worked on his plane at a friends house. His friends dog happened to be outside and while I was petting him, he started to growl and then attacked me.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Broken ankle doing a incredibly stupid stunt...

[The Dying Start]

Carla broke her ankle sliding for Home during a Softball game. Yowch!

Tis just a fact of life.

haha the disturbing part was watching it...I couldn't give a toss who died :P, it was just watching the dudes head been cut off was gross...

[The Dying Start]

Especially the ones where the knife is too blunt so you see the bastards hacking at it to get it through.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Especially the ones where the knife is too blunt so you see the bastards hacking at it to get it through.

yeah...gross...and they arn't wearing gloves or anything

Why would somebody want to cut a head of?!

[Grumma]

To make a statement

[The Dying Start]

And the statement is: "When you cut someones head off they die. We performed this experiment in the name of science"

[gaby2121]

When I was 4
I lived in Mexico,I fell of metal stairs from a second story high house:D
haha
It fucked up my vision on my left eye.
then when I was in 7th grade, I used to play softball and my teacher threw the ball at me and hit my right eye.
and it fucked my right eye:D

what a life.

[The Dying Start]

So why aren't your wearing glasses, or running into things?

It does, however, explain your hair.

[Grumma]

lmao.

Yeah that green isn't actually dye . . .

[gaby2121]

So why aren't your wearing glasses, or running into things?

It does, however, explain your hair.

I do wear glasses but it's not necessary!






My hair is just green I was born that way.
:D

[Grumma]

I was gonna say you just can't blow your nose properly but anyway . ..
:p

[gaby2121]

I have heard that before.
lol
But it's way to green for that.

when it gets like yellow it seems like a dog pissed on grass and winter came and the grass froze.

[Grumma]

lol you have a fairly vivid imagination :p

[The Dying Start]

Either that or she lives in a kennel.

[Grumma]

Yeah that seems the more likely :p
No offense Gaby!

[gaby2121]

HAHAH
It's cuz im mexican thats why!

this has nothing to do with anything but,I though I would pop that out:D

[Grumma]

You've already told us more than once that you're from Mexico :p

[gaby2121]

[kimjim]

I tripped over the sales rack today and injured my hip, elbow and shoulder.

this was before the store even opened. I have a nasty purple bruise on my hip now

[Grumma]

Am I allowed to clap sarcastically?

[Colezy]

You will anyway.

[Grumma]

Not unless Kimmy gives me her permission first :)

[Johnny_Wah]

I clicked on Grumma's profile link and it went to Kim's profile...

[Grumma]

See; that's just how much control she has over me :p

[Colezy]

I clicked on Grumma's profile link and it went to Kim's profile...
I clicked on my own link not long ago and it went to Grumma's.

[Grumma]

[The Dying Start]

I clicked on Grumma and it went to the Mardis Gras website.

[Colezy]

Grumma got owned by LYFE!

[Armistice]

I weld with CHucks on. My feet look like they're freckled. They're actually scars :cool:

[The Dying Start]

Most normal people would learn. Well, they'd either learn or get smacked stupid by their OH&S Supervisor.

[Neryssah]

I weld with chucks on. My feet look like they're freckled. They're actually scars :cool:

Chucks are the worst protective shoes. One of my more psychotic horses reared up and came down on my foot while I was wearing chucks, and my foot pretty much went black straight away. That was about a year and a half ago and it still hasn't healed yet :(

Also, welding, please tell me you use one of those eye-helmet things? Please?

[Armistice]

Also, welding, please tell me you use one of those eye-helmet things? Please?

Yes, each helmet goes over the eye... $10 each. Myface looks pretty scared up though. Lol, jkjk

I have an autodarkening mask
http://www.axminster.co.uk/images/products/100243_l.jpg

And my chucks are comfy too. In marching band every fall they tell us to wear running type shoes... what does my section and a few others do... wear skate shoes or Chucks, lol

Glenn: we don't have OH&S here... we have OSHA

Well, that's what you get for hangin out in the girl's changerooms.

[Kacky]

Not as bad as I pictured it.

[Grumma]

Yeah, the swelling has gone down enough that I can almost see out of that eye :p

[Armistice]

What's that from? Your roll?

[Deadcat Kaye]

hahahaha nice!:D

It's fun laughing at other peoples misfortunes:p

"Sucks to be you!"

[AlinaPOW]

I'm never gonan forget riding my bike RIDICULOUSLY fast down my street losing control.... and then waking up on the couch with massive cuts and gashes everywhere aching like a bitch. There were cuts on BOTH sides of my nose which is weird. And my hand stayed pussey for two or three weeks, scarred a bit now. Haha, I blacked out but apparantely mum made me wheel my bike all the way up the street and this is while I'm crying my eyes out.

YAY MASK!

Grumma... jeezus...

[Grumma]

hahahaha nice!:D

It's fun laughing at other peoples misfortunes:p

"Sucks to be you!"

haha my boss refused to let me work and drove me home :p

At least now the swelling has gone down enough that you can the blue part in my eye

[AlinaPOW]

BUT WHAT. DID. YOU. DO???

Oh yeah, my knees are fucked. And the day it happened was painful yes. yes.

[Grumma]

At footy training I was running and went to pick up the ball but someone else, and the top of their head, got there before me :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

Some dumbarse yr 8 kid fell down a drain at school today
and broke his leg bahahaha

Another "Sucks to be you" thing again haha

[AlinaPOW]

He feel down a DRAIN?? What kind of a crazy mixed up skull do you go to that kids are falling down drains!!??

[Grumma]

What kind of weird ass person would you have to be to fall off your bike and manage to get cuts on both sides of your nose?

:p

[AlinaPOW]

Touche. Touche indeed.

[Grumma]

Good girl :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha I have no idea^^
It just looked funny...
First you seem him, then ya don't,
Then all you see is this head pop up
then he kinda slowly got out and just lay there for about 20 minutes while everyone crowded and teachers started yellin and stuff:p

I think the drain thing just gave way when he stood on it and down he went

[Armistice]

Touche. Touche indeed.

I like touches... or is that tooshie?

So Grummster... that kids head must've been flying! lol. I was kicked in the face with a soccer ball when I was goalie. What made it worse was it was in October... which means our cold winter for you warm Aussies :D

[gaby2121]

I relise I do really stupid stuff.
When I was around 11-12 I decided to grab some tape and see what would happend if you burn it.
so I saw a candle and the tape was ofcourse taped to my finger!

so as things turn out with a burned finger and a bubble afterwards!
smart choice

:D

[cdejonge]

I think I strained my calf when I left work last night. And in all places, along the footpath. Not even those annoying escalators at Parliament station.

[Kacky]

When I was about three years old...I was at a family friends house having a bonfire. Anyways...I wasn't watching where I was going while walking backwards, and I fell in the hot coals, and burnt my right arm and one of my legs.

Suprisingly, I have no scars.

[Armistice]

My friends little sister of a few yrs walked and fell into a fire. Wasn't big, but still a freaking fire! She got a small burn on her cheak, and some nice burn scars on her hands and a bit of her arms. She had to wear compression gloves for a few yrs I think. I haven't seen her in a while, but last I DID see her(2-3yrs ago), she was still wearing them, but doing fine. Luckly her brother got her under cold water fast

We were on a Scout campout... and all of us were gone, except him, his dad, and sister... holding down the fort

[gaby2121]

When I was about 2 years old my mom put me on those baby seats that have lil wheels on the bottom.
so...
I roll on into the bathroom and this hair curler was on,so I decide to pull the cable and the curler snap on my hand.

so I have a scar there and its cool well half cool cuz people ask me what happend I tell them someone bit me or some random shit.

[Grumma]

I like touches... or is that tooshie?

So Grummster... that kids head must've been flying! lol. I was kicked in the face with a soccer ball when I was goalie. What made it worse was it was in October... which means our cold winter for you warm Aussies :D

Touche`

It's a French word that means "well played" or something along those lines.

And the swelling in my eye is close to being gone; I just have a really deep purple bruise underneath my eye :p

[Neryssah]

I have a cut on my cheek and a really bad bruisey scratchy thing on my leg and I have no idea how I got them :(

[Grumma]

Maybe you got date raped by one of your metalhead buddies?

[Neryssah]

. . . no?

I just asked someone and apparently I climbed up a polo tower and fell off. Which probably explains the leg. The cheek though is still a mystery.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Maybe a possum attacked you when you were asleep

[Neryssah]

Possums attack people?!

[Deadcat Kaye]

They do now...:p

Nah, I've been bitten by one, once
for small critter they pack a strong bite!

[Colezy]

God yes. Trust me. They eat your food too! :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha we found a possum in our chimney once,
great fun watching dad chase it around with a broom

[Neryssah]

Jeebus. Note to self, stay away from possums. One threw some fruit at my dad once, does that count as an attack? :p

[Neryssah]

God yes. Trust me. They eat your food too! :p

Haha, they do!! When I was little one came in through a window and stole my toffee apple while I was asleep. It was a sad moment in my life.

[Grumma]

lol Possum's have been known to attack people yes

[Colezy]

I bet it was, Neryssah!

I was camping a few years back and they made their way into the tent and ate all of our food for the next few days :( We had to scab from the other people we were with (it was school trip).

[Neryssah]

Sneaky little bastards. We don't have possums where we're living at the moment but we have foxes and feral dogs which are even more annoying.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I was camping a few years back and they made their way into the tent and ate all of our food for the next few days :( We had to scab from the other people we were with (it was school trip).

haha SCABS!

A possum jumped on my head on night, they have incredibly sharp claws too!
So yes, I definantly think a possum attacked you

[Neryssah]

I shall have to find out if there are possums where we were. Bloody possums.

[The Dying Start]

Or someone with the pet-name "Possum"

[Neryssah]

Considering there was nobody called Possum there, that would make it all the more interesting.

[Grumma]

Oh man, that reminds me of when I put pringles all around some guys tent I didn't like and emus attacked their tent. Good ol' school camp days

[gaby2121]

hahah I'm so stupid I just stuck my finger on the hot wax of the candle and guess what it hurts!:eek:

[Grumma]

Am I allowed to clap sarcastically?

[gaby2121]

lol go for it!:D

[Grumma]

Haha awsome ^_^

*claps sarcastically*

Any particular reason you put your finger in hot wax?

[Deadcat Kaye]

hahah I'm so stupid I just stuck my finger on the hot wax of the candle and guess what is hurts!:eek:

Bloody Genious...

[Grumma]

Genius*

:p

You don't go to Pembroke do you lol?

[AlinaPOW]

Also... I think we should keep you away from flames...

[Grumma]

They used to use wax instead of stitching

/random fact

[Deadcat Kaye]

Genius*

:p

You don't go to Pembroke do you lol?

Nope but I live about 2 minutes away from the mooroolbark campus...

AND It was a simple typo, o is right next to i
I'm eating ice cream and typing at the same time:p

[Grumma]

Well that's ok then lol
(on both counts)

[gaby2121]

Haha awsome ^_^

*claps sarcastically*

Any particular reason you put your finger in hot wax?

Umm Im not sure! I saw there was wax so I put my finger there.
It's awesome when it dries and you have a wax finger!:D

[Grumma]

Yeah cos burnt skin is the shiz :p

[Johnny_Wah]

Grumma your eye got owned on that first day...(I saw your myspace pics)


Maybe you should've put wax on intead of the stiches.

[Grumma]

Probably.

The bottom couple are starting to get itchy cos they aren't really needed anymore so I'm tempted to take them out myself

[Julian]

Grumma's so pov he uses wax as a condom substitute

[AlinaPOW]

Gah! NO! DON'T do that!!

[Grumma]

It could work . . .

If you kinda moulded it BEFORE you put it on

rofl bad experience Alina?
:p

[Johnny_Wah]

If you kinda moulded it BEFORE you put it on

No one listen to him. The wax would probably crack anyway.

[AlinaPOW]

It could work . . .

If you kinda moulded it BEFORE you put it on

rofl bad experience Alina?
:p

Bwahahaha! Noooooo!! No, no, no... I was posting in relation to you pulling the stitches out, not the wax condom!!

[Grumma]

haha alright.

Pfft I took the stitches I had in my ear out myself :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'm tempted to take them out myself

Just do it! It's not that hard...it'll be like takin multiple piercings out haha

[AlinaPOW]

Huh. I've never had stitches so I wouldn't know, but the thought's not making me happy. Just like chapter 7 of our biology book *shudders*... I feel like puking every time I go to look at the key questions.

[Grumma]

lmao.

Nah you just get tweezers, lift up the stitch a little and use like nail scissors to cut them

[Johnny_Wah]

Huh. I've never had stitches so I wouldn't know, but the thought's not making me happy. Just like chapter 7 of our biology book *shudders*... I feel like puking every time I go to look at the key questions.

In our science book last year there was a picture of a finger with the skin pulled away to reveal the bone and replaced joint.

[Deadcat Kaye]

In our science book last year there was a picture of a finger with the skin pulled away to reveal the bone and replaced joint.

That's so cool!

At the Melbourne Museum, theres some persons hand in the glass thing and they have cut out a section of it, revealing bones and tendons and stuff, looks awesome!

[Johnny_Wah]

Gee. I hope it's a fake hand...

:(

[Grumma]

Doubt it.

Most stuff at Museums is real :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha Nah, it wasn't fake:D

I'm pretty sure it was from an old person, the skin was kinda wrinkly

[Johnny_Wah]

That is GROSS. Now people are donating organs to museums!?

[Grumma]

They donate them to "science" which museum's fall under

[Deadcat Kaye]

hahaha So I'm assuming you haven't been to a museum any time lately, they have many organs there, and I'm pretty sure they got a brain aswell

It's not that gross...It's like :p

[Johnny_Wah]

Nah I'm not into museums. Unless it's Scienceworks. That place was a blast.

[Grumma]

The only science I enjoy is Mythbusters :p

[Johnny_Wah]

Science class at my school is fun. We get to wear funny glasses and jackets that make us look like doctors. tehehehehehehehe.

I love science.

[Deadcat Kaye]

The only science I enjoy is Mythbusters :p

bahaha I'm watching that atm...well dad and sister is :p

Doesn't scienceworks have a room with turds in it?

[Johnny_Wah]

Turds? You mean that sewery bit that smells like shit?

[Deadcat Kaye]

That sums it up, yeah.

[Johnny_Wah]

Oh I remember an 'injury'. I was in kinder and was pushing around a little toy truck. I slipped and grazed all the skin off my chin. You could see the bone...there's still a scar there, I think.

[The Dying Start]

I have a scar on the bottom of my chin also. I fell over and split it open on a wooden fence.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I have a kind of embarrassing spot with a scar on it...

When I was probably 9 or 10 years old, I cut the side of my arse cheek on the broken soap holder...
Coz of the spot it was in I got it 'special' glued up instead of stitches, Only experience with a hospital:D

Good times, Good times:p

[Johnny_Wah]

This one time, at band camp, I got hit in the head by an acorn.

Really. I did. We were having Stick Wars.
