Injury

I don't know if this is considered a "injury" but I had surgery once in my abdomen. (they had to remove a tumor and such but I won't go too in depth) It was a major surgery and I had to stay in the hospital for 2 nights. The surgery itself was no pain of course, I felt nothing during the actual procedure (under anesthetics and such). But it was the whole aftermath which was terrible...

When I came home, for the next 4 weeks the pain was so annoying and pretty much left me in the worse situation I've been in (pain wise) xD But the good thing was as long as I was laying (no use of my abdomen muscles) I felt pretty fine. But I pretty much could barely walk. I dreaded having to get up out of bed since it hurt so bad When I did get up, I had to walk with my back hunched like a old man or something. It really sucked. The core of my body was hard to control, so even sitting up was hard. I couldn't sleep much either since I had to lay on my back (i only sleep well on my sides and it hurt to do that). I could go on lol xD

I never experienced something like this and it was definitely strange. Wouldn't want to go through it again. But I'm glad its all over

 

Well, I had an injury when I was in grade school. I was sharpening a pencil using a cutter when suddenly the next thing I knew was my finger was bleeding. The skin had been cut, and I wasn't aware of it until someone pointed it out for me. Stupid eh?

And then, another freak accident happened when I was in 4th year high, I was about to stand up when someone accidentally stepped on my pinky, damn it hurts. The skin was opened and I was rushed to the clinic... It's like my fingers are the primary target of random injuries eh?

 

When I was about 2 years old, I fell off of a pinball machine and split my head open just above my eye. They apparently glued the skin back together, so theres still a small scar above my eye.

 

When I was like 5 I was chasing my Dad around the house and when we got into the kitchen he moved out the way, but I kept running and went into the corner of the counter. I have a scar on the top right of my head now, although I actually think it looks pretty cool there. xD

 

I remember back in my 2nd grade in gym class.I fell on the ground on my elbow was on the ground most of the time when I slid and when I saw my elbow after that there was a big gaping hole in my skin(it cut right through the flesh showing something green).

 

Broke both ankles, both hands, 8 fingers (Not all the same time, lol), tore muscle in right shoulders, no cartilage left in knees, broke orbital bone, and I had a brain tumor back in the day. Those are the biggest ones. Worst pain ever though? Severe sinus infection, spent 2 months with an IV in my arm going to the hospital for antibiotics everyday, loaded on percocets, and had a dental block (Needle under eyeball, freezes face). That was the worst few months I've ever had.

 

Oh, wow. Do you play a lot of sports or something like that? How did you get so many injuries?

I only had some problems with my fingers bending backwards too hard a couple of times, and I had to wear a plaster on my leg twice for similar reasons, but I don't think I had actually broken the bones back then. Other than that, I don't think I've had any major injury. I did have to get sewn some three points in my knee due to a bike accident, though.

 

I've had five surgeries, but 4 of them were planned.

The one I class as an injury was when I broke my nose playing rugby. I was right in the middle of the scrum, and it went down. I landed on the bottom, some guy's elbow landed on my nose and EVERYONE ELSE landed on top of him. I was supposed to be wearing a yellow shirt. I came out light headed and wearing a red shirt.

I didn't actually realise it was broken until like a year and a half later, when I randomly decided to look up my nostril loads... and I found out I only had one nostril I had a septoplasty to fix it all up.

 

I had two concussions during my life now. The first one was when I was four years. I fell down the stairs and since then I'm afraid of hights. The second one was one year ago during a anime convention. A friend huged me down

 

I broke my wrist a while back, still have the brace on. It hurt like hell, but I didn't think I broke it because I wasn't in tears like most people would be. I wasn't even crying. The doctor wasn't too delicate when he felt it up and when I went for an X-Ray, probably didn't help. I was a bit shocked when I found out it was broken, the radius bone if I remember correctly. It's been a huge pain getting it all patched up.

 

Wow, those are some pretty crazy injuries. O.O I got into accidents before (mostly traffic related) but I always escape with a whole bunch of scratches.

The worse one was last year, I was on my way to school. I had to cross the street to get to the train station. I looked both ways and there was no car so I crossed like any normal person. Apparently, there was this stupid driver who went out of his lane to avoid traffic and he didn't see me cross. BAM! I got hit on the shoulder and my things went flying. I'm glad he hadn't picked up speed yet or it would've been much worse. I was pretty disoriented and I couldn't see anything (my glasses were off somewhere).

I can't remember clearly what I said, but apparently my brother said that I said I still wanted to go to school since I had a test. I kinda vaguely remember this. My god, priority woman!

Got sent to the hospital. Was pretty bruised and had to stay for a while but no broken bones or anything. I've been scared of crossing roads ever since. And I still feel pain when I think about it. Oh, silly me.

 

When I was 7 I was sledding in Lake Tahoe and the sled had crashed into this rock under the snow. The sled stopp suddenly, and I flew off and landed right on my shoulder on the awfully hard snow. I heard a crack, and it hurt so fucking bad I was crying on the top of my lungs. My parents rushed me to the hospital, and I had severely broke my right collar bone

I may have been overexaggerating on the crying part, but I was seven, children.

When I was 11 1/2 I was running in P.E. on some stony concrete and I managed to slip and land right on my elbow. I got a ginormous scrape; heck, there's still a nasty scar on that very elbow. It hurt bad enough to be broken, not to mention I walked around for four days with me unable to straighten it, but it took those four days to realize it was more than just a bug scrape and that it was broken too.

 

I've actually never sprained or broken a bone before.

But two days before my 9th birthday, it was actually a Friday the 13th which is kind of funny now, we were running in P.E. and I fell and scraped the fingers on my left hand really bad and a lot of the skin was gone, and it was bleeding a lot. I felt really dizzy from the pain, but I forced myself not to cry in front of everyone, but a few tears did still drop.

 

In the playground or w/e Americans call it I was walking by a bench when some dumb kid rushed in to me, knocking me in to a bench. Made a hole in the bottom of my mouth and I had to keep spitting up blood in to a sink. They didn't even send me home even though I felt dizzy the whole day and I had a literal hole there...School sucks. (This was a long time ago)

 

I think the one injury I've had to get the most treatment for was a broken toe after I tried to kick my cousin and he blocked it. Went to go get acupuncture for it. Never again, though. Not too fond of pain.
