The Injuries Thread

[Damxge]

Have any old/new injuries you find particularly prideful? Speak of them here.

Today, I rubbed a good chunk of skin (all the way down to the knuckle) off of my thumb while planting posts for a deck. I also crushed my index finger on the other hand with a cinderblock, trying to keep it from crushing a lizard (I saved the lizard).

Some of my older injuries are:
A large blotchy white scar on my elbow from when a girl on a bicycle decided to run me over. Then somebody on a leisurecycle (or whatever those weird recliner bicycles are.) ran me over since I'd been tossed into his path.

A three inch lumpy scar from my elbow toward my wrist from when I was playing dodgeball/capture the flag and dove over the center line carrying the flag onto a rough stony hillside to avoid the balls being hurled at me. (when I play, I play hard)

Two inch long gouge in my left foot from where a neighbor's Labrador attacked me.

Assorted scars on my hands and arms from general hard labor (woodcutting, brush clearing, hole/trench digging, construction/carpentry work, plumbing, etc (got a big burn scar on my left arm from when I touched the wrong line trying to fix a hot water tank XD )

And I think that's most of my visible scars.

Got this at the end of last year... Still not completely gone!

[Damxge]

Daaamn, what happened?

[cyclonecasey]

Ran into a park bench... My friend said it sounded like someone was being murdered!
AND IT LOOKS LIKE JESUS!!!

[LordTomyh]

yeah
That was kinda my fault. She had something of mine and I was chasing her ... then bang she's hurt and sounding like she got shot

Well for my list of injuries I've got
The time when my brother was chasing me with a water bottle, I jumped on my bike, got about 2 metres then fell over, then the bike fell on me. I had a half moon cut on my thumb, had to get two needles only for it to turn out to be just some ripped skin. AND I HATE NEEDLES

In grade 6 I had a glass plate smashed over my forehead by accident ... still got the scar. a good couple of stitches

In year 7 the Library was closed at lunch time, so me and all the kids that hung out there were outside. One of my friends was being playfully chased around by one of his friends but I didn't know. so I ran up and pushed his friend, twice. Second time he caught me and threw me to the ground, Which I don't remember him doing. I was knocked out, couldn't see anything but white when I woke up and felt like my face was on fire. And the damage was only to my face. I got a week off school and my face was covered in scabs

In year 9 I was hopping around randomly behind the gym, waiting for my teacher to hand out equipment. When a piece of metal hanging off the gym door got caught in my leg. I almost fainted from sitting up and went home

When I was in Bali, on the Monday I broke my finger at a water park going down a water slide. It hurt but we didn't know it was broken. We got home on Wednesday and lets see, spiral fracture, operation leaving a scar that looks like I was bitten, two metal pins in my finger and I was in a cast for six months. In year 11, so I couldn't write or draw or play games for half a year

[cyclonecasey]

Get it? Middle finger? 'F'?

[killer8529]

lol

[Damxge]

Yes, I get it (would love to actually see something like that XD)

[MrSage]

i accidentally bit off a peanut m&m-sized chunk of my tongue off by kneeing myself in the chin. however, the chunk was still "attached" to the rest of my tongue by a little string of tongue. it eventually healed, but the chunk went into the dent/hole in my tongue upside down and now that part of my tongue feels slightly different than the rest of it.

that's about the worst that has happened to me.

[cyclonecasey]

I broke my collar bone...

[Damxge]

Ouch, I've never broken any bones thankfully.

[TheMagicMechanic]

Yesterday I crashed my bike. I got a cut on the skin near my funny bone and I have cuts almost everywhere, I sounded like I got stabbed 3 times. O_o

[Damxge]

You guys must be pretty vocal lol. When I get hurt, I just say, "sh*t," and get up and walk away XD

Even for the more severe things. When I was ten , I rode my bike full speed down a really, really big hill. Right about the time I got to full speed, I hit some gravel and flipped. Ruined the whole side of my chest (wasn't wearing a shirt) an skinned my arm pretty good. I got up and walked home, leaving the bike, which had a popped tire.

[LordTomyh]

You sound like my dad
One time he was having a smoke, at the open door of a moving train when someone came up and asked him for a light. He said no so they swung at him. he dodged, and fell out of a moving train. So he got up, walked to the train station, called the ship he was working on, told them what happened and went to the hospital ... beat up like sh*t

One of my friends was chasing me then I whacked my chin into a Pole and shouted:"ARE YOU OUTTA YOU GODD*MN MIND?!?!?!"

[TheMagicMechanic]

When I was 9 I did a sharp turn on my bike and got a bruise the size of a tomato on my thigh. I saw it and just realised I got catapulted onto the bottom of a hill.

[GreenGlassNotes]

Um.... let's see.
Broke my wrist running on wet grass in 6th grade (never convince my friends to tell on themselves to a teacher).
4 scars (1 on my elbow, 2 on my back, and one on my hip) from riding a scooter. I didn't stop and the front wheel went inward and flung me off. I crashed into the pavement and limped home on a sprained ankle. Freaked my parents and little sisters out.
Dropped a glass on my leg and it broke, have an inch long scar on my thigh.
Long scar on the bottom of my right foot from stepping on a broken plate when I was little (my bro doesn't think I actually did).
and a few scars across my fingers from getting them slashed with sissors in 2nd grade. My fear of sharp objects has been confirmed.

[cyclonecasey]

I have a crescent shaped scare on my neck from falling off my bike and the handle jabbing my neck...

[Legotransform]

Look like Jesus?

[cyclonecasey]

Yes!

[LittleMatryoshkaDoll]

I have a small scar on [from my position right now] right knee. It's been there for at least 3-4 years.

[Legotransform]

LOL!I got a really sharp turn on my bike and had a whiplash against a pole and my bike seat fell on my chest

[Damxge]

I failed a backflip on a dirtbike yesterday, got a nasty bruise on my neck and another right south of my groin on my left thigh from the handlebars.
Also broke a toe a week ago, and a few minutes ago I accidentally stabbed my right thumb with a knife submerged in soapy dishwater.

[cyclonecasey]

ouch...
