Silly injury

[Scoobydoobywho]

As I am currently nursing a cut above my lip from a tin falling on my face, I was wondering if anyone else has had a ridiculous injury.

I ran into a barbed wire fence as a kid. Got completely impaled across my entire forehead. When my dad followed my yelps, he had to very slowly pick the barbs out as he didn't want to disfigure me - somehow I don't have a single scar from it, yet I have a big scar on my face from my brother catching me with a fingernail

Glasgow tenement flat with all original features...giving the fireplace a good polish. Shoved the big, heavy dangling brass light out of the way....forgetting it would swing back. Unconscious and severe concussion 😳

On holiday in America doing laundry in my friends huge top loading washing machine. Staring into it amazed by how many clothes I could wash in one load. The lid fell down on the back of my head. I banged my forehead off the machine and knocked myself unconscious.
Trip to the ER for stitches on the back of my head and walked around for the rest of my holiday with a giant egg on my forehead.

Thank god for travel insurance

I tripped and fell when I was about 8 and broke my arm very badly in two places.

A few years ago I trapped a nerve in my neck by flipping my wet hair up into a towel after a shower. It hurt so much I almost passed out. I had to walk around with my head on a tilt for about a week.

I accidentally punched my horse (he spooked and leapt kept sideways into my fist unexpectedly, it wasn’t on purpose) and broke my thumb.

This is in addition to about 4 other horse related broken bones but those weren’t as ridiculous.

I broke my knuckles last August whilst having sex in the shower. I now have an extremely painful arthritic right hand. 🙄

This is going to make make me sound like a twat, but today I managed to stab my own thumb while scooping an olive out of the jar with a fork. It bled fgs! What a twat.

I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have laughed but... It's just so relateable for me, totally something I would do!

Tripped over the doorstep when hungover and broke my toe .... now I break it quite often when I walk into things / drop things on my foot

I stubbed my little toe on an exercise bike. After a couple of days of agony I went to the doctors, who sent me to A&E because I couldn't put any weight on it. My little toe was broken & dislocated. Put me off exercise for a while

I’ve done the avocado hand injury. Never thought it would be me. I’m 35 so barely even a millennial!

Stepped off a 1 brick high “wall” between a car park and small grass edge next to a footpath (on Easter Saturday with arms full of groceries for the lunch I was meant to make 30 people the following day)
Landed funny somehow managed to fracture my ankle in 2 places and tore 3 ligaments and to have surgery to repair the damage a few weeks later.
I still made lunch (with help) because I was stupid and was young. Now? There is no way in hell.

Was jumping wooden gates (as part of a practice course) on my horse.
Knocked one down, got off prop it back up, I reached down to pick it up, the horse stood on the gate trapping my hand underneath then decided to to rub its face on my arse, knocking me over so I fell face 1st into the gate.
Broke all the finger one on hand, scrapped all the skin off one side of my face and had a huge black eye.

The DR laughed when I explained what happened.

Twisted my knee tripping over the dog who stopped suddenly to do a poo while we were running

Had a car door close completely on my finger, OMG the pain!!! I thought I would pass out and felt sick. Black and bruised nail, but not broken finger.

Jumped head first into a doorframe managed to land flat in my back completely winded and gave myself a concussion.

During winter as kids our front door used to stick, I was pulling it, my sister decided to give it a kick and kicked it right into my face. Half of front tooth completely gone!

10 days ago while putting on shoes and leaning against the doorframe DD managed to close the door on my finger that was between the hinges. I screamed!! Cried and again thought I’d pass out. I’m guessing there has been nerve damage as half of my fingertip is still numb.

The best one though is this:

Serving up dinner, a lovely Chilli con carne I was really looking forward to and had in the slow cooker all day. After dishing up everyone else’s I finally got to my own, only on walking with it and my drink to sit down I tripped over the rug, with both hands full I was unable to save myself and fell headfirst into the fireplace. I managed to smash the lovely plate of chilli into my face, several scars remain, a black eye and a trip to A&E.
