My dad stood up from bed and passed out one day.

Come to find out he had broken a rib three days earlier. No wonder the drive back from Utah was such a PITA for him

Motorcycle handlebar 6" into left leg calf severing my achilles tendon. Dr.'s told me I would never walk right again. Took awhile to get my heel to touch the ground but got it done. Works fine, not even a limp. Freaking doctors don't have a clue.

I had torn my rotator cuff years ago, I finally went to go get it fixed after dislocating my shoulder while rolling over in my sleep also.

Worked at a truss building company one summer while in high school. Last day of work i got my pinkie finger in the truss clip clincher (abou 3,000 lbs of hydrolic pressure). Had to have it completely reconstructed with some sort of fake plastic bones and screws.. it was fun

I was dicking around with a clip board and the spring broke and came down on my index finger and I lost a nail
And a couple summers back I jumped off the back of an old truck and cought the bumper with my calf and cut my muscle now I have a huge lump in the back of my leg.

When I was a rugrat I tore my azz open on my sisters metal dollhouse and needed a couple stitches after she pushed me into it. Oh and then about the same age my cousin bit me on the stomach over a fight of not letter her have any of my Cheerios. (Still got the scar).

Then there was the time we were playing Merlyn the Wizard in the garage with a candle and my dads canister of gunpowder for reloading shotgun shells. Take a hand full of powder and toss it at the flame. Yeah it follows the gunpowder back to you hand. And I found out gunpowder likes to stick to your hand (minor burns). My father was the fire cheif for the local volunteer fire dept. Happend shortly after we lit the ditch on fire too.

Then there was a time I tried to hold down a cat while my brother ran it's tale over with the lawnmower. We were not intentionally cruel we were like 4 and 9 and we wanted a cat that looked like a bobcat. Instead he fought like one and tore into me like a mouse.

I was pretty much accident prone and we were pretty mischevious growing up.

This one time I found a hot pie that just got out of the oven after watching american pie and ............. lol. j/k but has anyone ever done that?

 

[J-Roc]

I was out at a buddies cabin at the lake one day and we were screwing around on these little Honda 70cc trikes. Good fun, like a 3 wheeled pit bike that you can't get hurt on, right? Wrong. Its the end of the day and we go to start them up to put them away. Well I was sitting on the one and I go and reach by my foot to grab the recoil and pull. I do so but in the process I manage to snag my middle finger nail on the edge of the gas tank and tear it completely off. Didn't hurt at first but 5mins later I wanted someone to knock me out because the pain was so bad. I thought it might get all ingrown and gross but it grew back normally.

I shudder every time my buddy mentions those things or that story...

When I was dating my wife in college I took her for a ride on my roomates bike. When we got back she rubbed her calf against the exhaust pipe. the burn was probaly 1.5 in circle. She never cried and would let me take her to the doctor (thats when i knew she was a keeper.)

then once it finally scabbed over she let a friend of ours talk her into peeling the scab off. That was pretty she has a nice scar now 6+ years later, and our friend went on to be a doctor I feel sorry for his patients.

 

[J-Roc]

Hahahahaha! Ouch! That had to hurt. "Now, you're not goin' understand this, but, that's goin' be hot!"

Cut the tip of my left index finger off with a leatherman. That is not the funny part.....I was in an ambulance at the the time. Still not the funny part, it was at this point I discovered I do not like the sight of MY blood. I have been working EMS and fire since 1995, your blood, no problem, my blood, oh god, I don't feel so good, I think I will just lay down for awhile. Gary meet psychogenic shock. Doc sewed it back on. Do not ask why I had a leatherman out in an ambulance

 

[J-Roc]

Wow! Was there a patient (besides you) in the ambulance at the time? That's scary... Why did you have a Leatherman in an ambulance?
