To ask for your weirdest injury?

[Confrontayshunme]

Sitting in A&E with a fish bone stuck in my throat (thanks high protein lunch) and wondering if anyone else has had such a dumb reason for A&E visit.

The last time I was in A&E, I smashed my finger in one of those pedal tractors at a petting farm.

My MIL broke her knee because a random dog chased a ball into her.

I know you guys will be able to entertain me during the 2hr43min wait (approximately).

I have form for being a klutz... have been all my life. My kids have not inherited their genes from their father who works in professional sport, unfortunately. My son appears to be collecting frequent flyer points in the A&E radiology department at the moment too.

I have given myself whiplash blowdrying my hair - if you saw how fine all three of my hairs are, you’d laugh at the pointlessness of that injury.

The SINGLE time I was ever nice enough to iron a shirt for my husband (who usually wears gym gear to work anyway) I was 8 months pregnant, so my belly was bigger than my arms were long. My doctor told me that if I was branding myself with a “cut here” line, it was in the wrong spot.

I have managed to do up an aeroplane seatbelt while including a generous handful of post baby belly skin in the buckle, causing a massive haemotoma. A brilliant trick for an ex-flight attendant. (Very painful and and truly embarrassing)

A couple of months ago, I was doing chest compressions on an armless, legless CPR dummy that happened to look exactly like my irritating old neighbour. The ganglion on the back of my wrist which was about the size of a baked bean swelled to about the size of an egg so being a nursing student, I thought I’d better ask for some ice. My lecturer saw me rubbing at the base of my thumb as well and said “Oh, I don’t like the look of that thumb either...” and guess what? Ganglions have roots.... That’s where this monster is tethered and it’s dislocated my thumb!!! Course has had to be deferred 🙄😳🙄 and surgery Monday.

Meanwhile... the hand surgeon has actually explained that my mega-clumsiness is the result of a hyper-mobility syndrome which I have been generous enough to share with my kids. Sigh!

I broke my coccyx going down a children's slide. Had to be on all fours for the x ray as I couldn't sit or lie down for days

Oh I completely forgot when I was 18 years old I was having a jumping lesson on my horse who loved to cat leap at the jump que me doing a tumble over her head and landing on my arse, I broke my coccyx! It took bloody ages to stop hurting, even now years later I cant tolerate sitting to long

My calf I was using a mini travel iron that I like to take with me whenever I travel or just for quick ironing before going to work. I was ironing on my side of the bed and was sitting cross legged. DP said something funny that distracted me. The iron fell on the bed and just the tip of the iron made contact with my calf and I had a massive blister. I didn’t feel it first and then it hurt for days on end. This only happened two days ago
