What Is The Most Serious Injury You've Ever Sustained?

[Joker]

Mine would either be when I fell at work, landed on my braclet, and cut open my wrist (half an inch to the left and it would have hit a vein, I got lucky) and needed 6 stitches in it, when I was a kid and fell off of the couch and hit my mouth on the edge of a coffee table and had to get stitches in my gums, or the more recent one when I fell on a sidewalk, dropping the computer moniter I was carrying onto my hands, resulting in 2 knuckles being ripped up, and the area in between those 2 knuckles and in between my ring finger and pinky finger also being ripped up. With that one, you could actually see the muscle on my right middle fingers middle knuckle. So what's the most serious injury you've ever sustained?

When I was 9, I was at a field and I was walking on a log. And I tripped and fell and a rusty nail went through my leg. I needed 9 stitches.

 

[Alpha and Omega]

I broke my middle finger and the bone (left hand) bent like an arrow.

That probably hurt the worst of any of my personal injuries. I've also broken my right femur, fractured a wrist, and had some pretty bad ankle sprains.

When I was about 6, I played chicken with a car and lost. I ended up splitting my head and having to wear a foot high skull cap for many weeks while my head bones knitted.

Hmmm...

Well, at school when I was younger, I did something really stupid. Swinging off the monkey bars in PE. Landed right on my neck on the mat below. Didn't break it, but I couldn't look down for a few days.

In kindergarden, I got a splinter through my hand (inbetween the thumb and that one finger, but close to the thumb). It was a long one too. I cried like a baby for a while.

Accidently stabbed myself with a pencil when I was a little kid in the side of my left hand. The lead is still in it.

Won a tough ass wrestling match, but left with every muscle in my left leg either strained or pulled. My leg was a bundle of fat for weeks. My right hand is currently sliced in half by a chainsaw and I am hoping the tape will heal it.... if not I get stitches. Sliced open the middle of my right hand with a broken jar and had to have stitches down the middle. One time I was skateboading, and hit the curb, American History X style.

this explains soooo much.

 

[KingOfDreams]

I guess I'm too careful since the most serious injury I've had is a sprained ankle...about 3 or 4 times.

It actually explains very little, including your lack of originality.

 

[Iceman]

I'm not very injury prone. I've never broken anything. I cut my hand deeply on broken glass which needed a ridiculous amount of stitches but I was drunk so wasn't too worried. Oh and my sister hit me in the head with a cricket bat once. That's about it.

Funny, you don't look like a cricket.

3 months ago i got into a fight at a party over a girl, and wound up getting stabbed in the leg with a broken bottle. it probably wouldn't have been that bad, but (being highly inebriated) i decided it would be a good idea to suture the wound myself. so after pouring half a bottle of grey goose on the wound, i went at it with an ordinary sewing needle and thread.
it got pretty bad.

 

[HellOnEarth]

I ran around a patch of oil, slipped, and banged my chin. Blood gushed out like oil. I was crying like a baby.

I was a baby. Only 6 at the time.

You must have been way drunk, ...you wasted half a bottle of Goose.

I'm sure that's a criminal offense in some places.

when i was about 8, i biked into a wall head first

tell me about it. i was pissed when i woke up and it was gone. i actually threw the other guy in the fight through a sliding glass door. so i'm pretty sure we were even after that.

 

[Topdawg]

couple of months ago i fell of the stairs, and broke me arm in a ****ed up way.

 

[Hades]

I was on a trampoline, laying on it and my hand is sticking up and one of the guys lands right on it and breaks it. Broke my wrist, yep. Not that bad of an injury though. It's weird, I get into accidents and do stupid crap all time but I never get hurt that badly, only a few scratches usually.

 

[Decay]

it's not that bad...I had a dislocated shoulder, but I went through a lot of pain.

 

[LEX]

I split my skin open and exposed my left knee in elementary school. You could clearly see the white bone inside. The skin was literally off. A bandaid and a wash, and it healed. Internal injury, I remember when I was sick during a day care program. The kids were playing tennis and I called sick, and had to sleep on one of the tables, waiting for the bloody tennis matches to finish. So, once we got back, I started throwing up. It sort of went on and on for hours that seemed like an eternity. Bad eggs. And hot sun. They don't correlate. I don't think I ever broke a bone in my life, but I did witness a bone-breaking incident once. It was decades ago and this girl was climbing on a part ladder and part monkey plaything. So, she slipped and fell 5 feet high, and landed wrist first, thus pushing her bone in her arm upward and almost through the skin, practically exposing her bloody arm bone from the outside. Ergo, blood and tears.

 

[Dissonance]

-I split open my chin in second grade.
-I cracked my head open on the corner of a nightstand when I was 6.
-A couple years ago I was jumping in a bounce house. And being the uncoordinated idiot I am, I did a front flip. Instead of landing on my back, my mouth connected to my knee and I cut open the inside of my lip. That, in turn, became the world's worst cankersore ever.

When I was in preschool, I thought I'd practice diving, but I didn't yet grasp the concept that water was permeable and that ground was not. I swan dived off the top of a jungle-gym head first into a rock. I'm still missing a peice of my eyebrow from that.

More recently I cut a chunk of my index finger to the bone cutting some vegetables. Couldn't stitch it back, so I had to let all the tissue grow back from the bone up. Cleaning it was a *****, and the scar is probably gonna stay with me till I die.
