I'm injured!

Haha OK, while I'm sure no one will care, I think everyone has a right to know that I completely bit it while running today.

I don't really know what happened, but I tripped over something and I went flying, scraped both of my hands, my elbow, and my knee, and now I can barely walk/type/bend my arm/multiple other things. Worst of all, this truck passed by right as I went flying and THEY DIDN'T EVEN STOP TO SEE IF I WAS OK. I thought that was a bit rude.

This actually segues nicely into a completely random question: what's the worst injury you've ever sustained?

Aww! Sorry!

One of my friends last year missed a hurdle and did a faceplant into the tracks...she looked awful and I'm sure it didn't exactly feel wonderful, either.

Umm...worst injury...I had a chondralplasty in my knee last year, but I'm not entirely sure that can really count as an injury. It was the most painful thing I ever went through...but it wasn't really an injury. So if you go with injury it would either be concusion (thank you soccer) and stress factures in my shins due to shinsplints (thank you soccer & volleyball combined). :]

Ouch! hat must've hurt.

I;m always getting injured. I have a really bad ankle and it's always putting me on crutches. The worst time was probably when my friend pushed me over and I wisted my ankle, putting me on crutches for about a month.

Eek. That must have killed.
At least you will have an excuse not to go to school XD

I have had a few accidents. Skiing and running.
Gymnastics must have caused me the most pain though.
I was just finishing my floor routine and I did a front handspring when I landed wrong and my knee cracked. I finished and limped off the floor. (Its a good thing it was the last move)
Then my knee began to really kill me. I couldn't walk or run for ages. I had to get some thing for my leg.
It still bugs me at times

Oh oh! I got one. When I was a baby I stood up in my high chair and fell right down on my two front teeth. They turned black. Ouch!

Well I hope you get well soon,
Genevieve

Hoping you feel better soon, Samantha!

Ouch. The worst injury I can remember is back in 07 (XD) when I used scissors to cut open my finger. :*winces dramatically*: It wasn't on purpose, I was cutting some grapes with kitchen shears.

Anyway, it bled a lot, though in the end I didn't get stitches. The night after that was the worst of my living memory. Think I might've been delirious. Hmm.

So, there you have the second to worst experience of my life. XD

Ooh, ouchie...hope you feel better soon!

I've had the usual scrapes and falls...never broken a bone because I'm so lazy and not athletic...um, I burned my wrist on a cookie tray once.

Haha, oh my gosh! So many replies! Thanks for the sympathy. I'm OK, I guess, just in a lot of pain and being a baby about it. It's been so long since I've gotten hurt like this, though, so I hardly remember that it SUCKED so bad.

I know all about injuries while doing snow sports. When I was learning how to snowboard, I tried going down this bunny hill and fell and hit my head SO HARD. It was seriously the hardest fall of my life and I couldn't see or move for a minute, so the ski patrol dude had to come and help me. It sucked so bad, and when I got back to the hotel, none of my family seemed to care that I could barely walk or function.

What's a chondralplasty? I'm sure I'd think it was much more painful if I knew what it was XD.

Haha uhh it's kind of hard to explain. Ummm...have you ever boiled an egg and while you're trying to boil it it cracks and the eggwhites ooze out and cook outside the egg but still stay attached to it? That's basically what happens to your cartilage in your knee. It like frays out between your bones...it's kind of gross when you explain it but if I showed you a picture (which would mean I'd have to also steal my medical records) it wouldn't be so gross haha. It's not really something that can be stopped because it makes your cartilage thinner but doesn't rip it so it doesn't know it's supposed to repair itself...meaning it can't thicken up so it will most likely happen again lol. The most they can do it go in and powerrazor the excess off so it doesn't effect whats around it. But really...does anyone play soccer for 16 years and not come out with a knee injury?

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. That sounds tremendously painful and makes my pain feel like absolutely nothing.

Gwenevire, I wish I could use it as an excuse to miss school, but I have exams, ARGH.

Oh, and Cade, (this is very random) but I love your username! That's actually the name of one of the characters in my story, and he's like this big black guy, so I'll forever picture you as a black guy. Just so you know XD.

Oh, ow! Feel better, Sam! Actually, we can mope together! I get to recover from wisdom teeth (that were pulled at an ungodly hour this morning. goodness. way too early to be up!)

The worst injury? Surprisingly I've broken no bones and never been to hospital for an injury, but I did get hit by a car. Call me lucky. I managed to walk home with just a bleeding knee. Other than that I once fell down while hiking into some sharp rocks, which bruised my shins horrendously along with scratches and all. Still nothing too serious though!

Hope you feel better soon!

Oh, owwww. I hope you're feeling better. As well as everyone else, lol Mesh, was it very terrible?

My worst injury thus far has to be when I fell down the stairs (for no apparent reason) I broke my leg and my ankle, had to get a pin put in to keep my ankle together for a while. I took the option of having it removed after. So now I have two scars on my ankle and a lot of random pain. xD

I'm often hurting myself though. Leg+ankle makes for my sixth break thus far.

Take care of yourselves kids!

This happened when I was camping with my folks about 6 or so years ago. There were these two slides at the park, a red one and a green one. The red one was a small slide for kids and the green one was for the bigger kids because it was more that twice as tall. Sometimes I would jump off the side of the red slide for fun, seeing as how short it was. With that being said, I tried to do the same on the green one, and... well, you get the picture. My leg was in pain for weeks, it was a wonder I didn't break it all together.

We do crazy things as kids, don't we?

Ouch, what a clumsy bunch we are.

My worst injury? I've never been horribly injured (*touches wood* - stupid superstitions), but I've had a couple. My horse once stood on my foot, right on my big toe. I had to hose it to prevent bruising, but the nail still went black and fell off. TO add insult to injury, I'd got off to walk by her as she had a loose shoe. That's what I get for being nice.

My bike fell on my leg in the middle of the road once. I turned too sharply and came crashing down. That was a hospital jobby, but nothing was broken.

And I once rode a friend's horse, just for a fun race with another rider. Turns out my mount wasn't in a racing mood - three big bucks, each one making me go higher and higher, until finally I was flung out of the saddle and into the ground. I was left winded for several minutes (that hadn't happened to me in a long time - usually I relax the minute I'm falling, I must have tensed up that time), and was all achy for days afterwards.

So, yeah, nothing too serious. Just the usual bumps and scrapes.

Ah, horse injuries. When I used to horseback ride, the second biggest horse in the barn (my baby Snickers! I miss him so much :[) totally stepped on my foot, and I got kind of dramatic about it, haha. It wasn't really a horrible injury or anything, but another time, some girl threw fly spray in my eyes and I started screaming because it burned (I'm not sure why?) and I got yelled at because I could've spooked the horse. (What a great bunch they were! Caring about the horse rather than me.) Oh, and this other time, I totally got thrown off my horse, Topaz, when I was trying to canter him, and I was stiff for a week.
