What's your weirdest injury?

[ThisPlumShark]

Fell off a slide

I this supposed to be your example of your weirdest injury? Because 1. It's not an injury and 2. It's not weird.

Stupidest was today, reached up to get the dustpan and brush which is hung on the wall at work. Slipped through my finger and smacked me in the face, cut all my lip open....

Back in the day of letters being sent in the office I was trying to lick the envelopes and get them all to the post room.

I went in too fast licking one and gave myself a mini Chelsea smile. Ouch. So sore.

Opened an upper cupboard door to get a plate. That dislodged a Le Creuset pan on top of the cupboard. The lid hit a tiled floor and shattered. A shard embedded itself into my thigh and I've still got the scar. Don't cook when wearing shorts.

Gift basket to the foot. When I was about 11? I was putting my younger brother to bed...eldest child job in a big family. He slept on top bunk. We were joking around and he pushed me off the steps. Not a big fall but I landed on a metal gift basket on the floor and it crushed when I stepped on it. One of the metal bits stuck into my foot. My poor (squeemish) dad had to pull out about 5cm of metal from my foot before taking me to A&E while mum was away. Got me out of PE for few weeks at least 😅

Stapled my finger to a wall with a staple gun when putting up a display at work. Had to go to A and E to get the staple removed. Weirdly it didn’t hurt until they took the staple out.

Relaxed after brushing my teeth in the bathroom. Dislocated a rib in my back according to my osteopath. Complete agony and had to get one of my DC to help me lay down as I couldn’t move.

The evening before we got married, a cat ran past me into our house. I was chasing it out when I kicked the skirting board and I think I must have broken a toe as it hurt and has been wonky ever since.

When I was a student nurse injecting a patient in the bum, I forgot to move my thumb out of the way and hit my thumb instead. Ouch.

Another - I ripped the muscles across the back of my neck, upper back and arms so badly I couldn't move without massive pain for week. How? Zipping up my jeans!

As a teen, my younger brother was flicking a teatowel at my face whilst I was eating a meal. I put my hand up to protect my face, but at the same time, stabbed the prongs of the fork I was holding, directly between my eyes. I somehow didn't realise I'd stabbed myself. Adrenaline I guess.

I kept telling him to stop, but then saw the look of horror on his face when I realised that blood was dripping down my nose, face and into my meal! I think the sight terrified him, because he never did anything similar again. 😆

I noticed my curtain was slightly open just before bed so I went to fix it and lost my footing and went over on my ankle, as I was falling the side of my leg fell against a tv bracket stand that was sticking up, I had nothing to grab on to so fell down the the stand slid into my leg. I had to have the stand and my leg strapped up by paramedics and taken to hospital where they then wheeled me into A&E in a wheelchair with no leg support (the paramedic had to hold my leg), then in the middle of a&e waiting room they asked me to get back on the bed and a police officer had to help me (in my pyjamas). Big crowd in resus taking pictures and watching whilst they pulled it out of my leg. Had to have a wound wash and stitches in surgery and it’s almost a year later and the area is still numb.
someone said it came very close to hitting an artery in my leg which would’ve been a different story.

I broke my ankle whilst having a skipping race in the back garden, with the children I was a nanny for

I once twisted my back sliding down a fireman's pole (and that's not a euphemism, it was a fireman's pole in an adventure playground) 😂

I put my hand in my dog’s mouth to retrieve something he was choking on. He clamped down and bit my fingertip off. The bone clean through with just the flesh hanging by a piece of skin. Luckily the expertise of a plastic surgeon reattached it and I spent three days in hospital in Iv antibiotics.

lesson learnt, never put your hand inside a dog’s mouth 😳

After a night of drunken passion I got out of bed and slipped on a used condom, flew forward like a skier and crashed into the bedside cabinet foot first. Fractured a toe.

Banged my arm off the dogs cupboard

I stuck a toy arrow with a suction cup end to my forehead. It wouldn't come off without pulling it really hard. I was left with a large, perfectly circular bruise in the middle of my forehead for several days.

I’ve got a permanent dent in my forehead where I bent over to pick a leaf off my shoe while sitting on the downstairs loo and smacked my face hard on the sink. The dent has so far lasted 15 years!

Love this

Very bruised after being shut in a bus door.

The worst bruise was my pride

I fractured my index finger trying to break a chunky Kit Kat in half. I was whacking the Kit Kat on the corner of the table to break it in half to share but missed a twated my finger. The Kit Kat had be refrigerated and was like a crow bar. Had it splinted for 6 weeks.

Managed to sprain my pelvis. No idea that was a thing. But apparently it is and it is excruciating. 3 weeks off work. How I did it wasn’t weird (fell off my horse) but the injury itself was!

Broke my nose running out of a stable- had the top half of the door partially pulled around, forgot and dodged too late 🤣

Secondary school, helping set up the trampoline in the sports hall. Somehow my forehead and one third of the trampoline that we were extending connected. Big lump and graze.

Slipped getting out of the bath once and grabbed the nearest thing to steady myself. It was the curtains and I managed to pull the entire lot off the wall and give myself a black eye with the curtain pole.
