When was the last time you were injured? How bad was the injury?



Mine was last night. I managed to cut my finger open with my own nail :\
 
A few days ago, my small dog Lexie was out running in the kitchen. I didn't see her and almost stepped on her. I stumbled trying to avoid that and my left arm and hand hit the kitchen counter. I knew right away something was wrong because my whole arm ached. I went to the doctor for x-rays and he found that I had broken a small bone in the top of my left hand. On top of that, because I over extended my arm trying to break the fall, I sprained a muscle in my upper arm. No biggie as he put a soft cast on my hand and gave me some medication to stop the pain and inflamation. Feeling much better now and I'd rather hurt myself than have hurt Lexie. Can we all say klutz....sure we can!

Car injury a few years ago. As the car stopped suddenly my head jerked forwards and stopped but my brain didn't. I guess it hit the inside of my skull as I was seeing in quadruple for a while. I got some beautiful seatbelt bruising! And a small cut which became infected and needed treatment later. The car, sadly, was written off. Annoyingly, because it was new (for us). Luckily I was the worst hurt. My kids were in the back. My daughter had a small cut on her foot from broken glass. Thank God for seatbelts!



Strangely, the woman who tried to cut in front of us and who was going too slowly to do so, had the same surname as us. Bizarre!
 
hmmmmm i think my last injury was 2 years ago when an old friend broke my thumb pissing about (not the reason he is now an old friend, thats a whole different story :/ ) Basically we were at a gig and as a joke he kept poking me .... it got VERY annoying. I went to block him and I heard and felt CRUNCH!! My thumb was throbing and it felt like agnoy. But I have never had it looked at.



I don't like hospitals and doctors are useless so I never went to get it checked out, but I know it was either broken or fractured. So I delt with it myself.
 
Just last week, skidded on my bicycle. Hit an ice patch and just fell before I even realized it.



Everyone else's story sounds worse though and much more painful O_O
 
After a long walk the skin off my foot must have rubbed off and I bled through my two layers of socks and now there is a huge stain on the inside layer of my shoe. I didn't believe that came from me at first and thought I just stepped on some juice or something. <<
 
I sprained my wrist yesterday. Had to work with it today - fortunately we had some strong painkillers on hand so I didn't feel much pain today.
 
Slipped on some ice yesterday responding to an emergency call. The only injury was a bruise to my ego as it was very embarrassing.

Hmm...fractured wrist and dislocated (or separated...don't remember) shoulder from a car crash last week.
