taintedgypsy -> What was your most bizarre injury? (6/27/2007 10:58:58 PM)

Hi I just had to share this and find out what had happened to others that they would like to share and laugh about.

Where I am staying they keep an old fashioned heavy fan on top of the wall unit in the lounge. The idea is to blow the hot air from the lounge out to the rest of the living area. So I sat on the chair below the unit and did not realise that the cord had dropped behind the cusion. Well the fan dropped on my head ... lol as if a bruise and sore head was not enough ... I GOT WHIPLASH FROM A BLOODY FAN DROPPING ON MY HEAD.

The laughing when the doctor told me my sore neck was from whiplash hurt my poor head. The fact that I reached for pain killers the next morning and acidently took a dose of my night meds just added to the roll of the bizarre lol ... I spent the day so wacked that the pain simply ceased to matter lol ... nothing really mattered for the rest of the day ... the only way I could have been more relaxed is if I was dead lol.

Ok who can beat "fan induced whiplash" lol

adoracat -> RE: What was your most bizarre injury? (6/28/2007 2:42:40 AM)

*covers eyes*  i dont believe i'm about to admit this but....

i tripped over a speed bump (it was unmarked and unlighted) when i was taking the kid out to liberate the rest of the halloween candy from a friend of ours...

broke the left kneecap in 5 places and broke the right wrist as well.  and i went "yeah, right" at the doctor who said "keep off the knee entirely for at least two weeks..."  i was up in 36 hours and taking care of the household.  *eyeroll*

kitten, who finally got the knee fixed after the SECOND time the kneecap was broken, 2 years later.....

i was working at a Borders books, closing up one Halloween, when i slammed my hand between two of the bargain book bins we were rolling back into the store.  left a scar, and the entire back of my right hand was black and blue.  the really sad part was that i week later i was working in the cafe part of the store (making coffee drinks, serving bagels, etc.) when this really stuck up old lady kept giving me looks.  the bruise had faded and apparantly my hand looked dirty to her.  she asked me to wash my hands, so i explained about the accident, but she was still a biotch about it, even after i made a big deal about scrubbing both my hands.  i think she reported me to my manager for being rude to a customer--all because i got injured on the job.  sheesh




jayded34 -> RE: What was your most bizarre injury? (6/28/2007 2:54:31 AM)

I have 2 stupid things that ended up in injuries.....

First...i walked off a curb ankle rolled and broke in 2 places. That was the 3rd time my right ankle was fractured.
2nd.  Took a step up the hill in my front yard ...just one step leading with my left foot, as soon as i lifted the foot i hit the ground seems i tore my calf muscle in half! It was on a Saturday, i waited till monday when i got to work * i worked in a Family Practice office at the time * they sent me home wrapped up and full of drug perscriptions and said dont come back for 3 weeks. 

*edited because i cannot spell at 5am*

A few years ago, I was having a laugh with a man I was seeing and he pushed me backwards onto his bed, he had hold of me and came with me.  What he forgot about was the wooden balls on the bottom of the bed (you know the ones on the corner)... well I landed right on it with the bottom of my back with all his weight on me.... I split open from the base of my spine to my bottom, it just looked like a perfect cut, hurt like hell and im just thankful that the alcohol I'd drunk helped the pain.  I really should have gone to the hospital there and then but I didnt, instead I went in the morning to the nurses at the conference centre I was attending who searched high and low for a torch to have a better look - oooh it was embarrassing - then to top it off I had to go to the hospital where they had been informed of my arrival and were all grinning at me like I was some sort of weirdo - I dont think they believed the falling on the bed story [:D]
It did alot more damage than I first thought but im lucky as it could have been alot worse. I cant go near one of those beds now without getting cold chills.

I bruised myself on a teddy bear.

When I was in the military, a friend brought an antique Coleman camp stove into my shop, and asked if I could give it a complete overhaul. I was using aircraft grade paint stripper to remove the old paint.
At coffee break, I wiped my hands clean, and went to the washroom for a pee. When I grabbed my member, I wasn't long realizing my hands still had some of the chemical on them. The burning was extreme. I ran into the Battery Shop (where we serviced automotive batteries) across the hall, dropped my pants, and doused my willy with baking soda, in order to neutralize the chemical.
I then decided to wash my hands in the Eyewash Fountain (a device that uses water to flush chemicals from your eyes, should you get battery acid in them). I was unaware that the fountain was connected to an alarm that rang throughout the building (eye burns are very serious), and I didn't hear the alarm sounding. Sooooo...I happened to turn around, with my pants around my ankles and my groin covered in baking soda, to see about 20 men and women, who had come to my rescue, with their jaws hanging open and a "WTF???" look on their faces.

When I was a teenager, I didn't have any lighter fluid around.  So I decided to refill my trusty Zippo with gasoline.  I filled it up and spilled quite a bit on my hands and on the lighter case.  Without thinking, I flicked the wheel on the flint.  With a loud whoosh, the lighter ignited and caught my hands and shirt sleeves on fire.  The gasoline can was at my feet, so I ran away from it.  Of course that only fanned the flames even more, and the flames engulfed my entire shirt.  I managed to rip it off of me and smother the fire.  I was lucky, and only got some mild first degree burns on my arms and chest.   




SeeksOnlyOne -> RE: What was your most bizarre injury? (6/28/2007 7:31:19 AM)

not my injury, but a dear friend who, bless her heart, is the poster child for murphys law....

she had a bathing suit that had 2 wooden balls on the strings used to tie it behind the neck......she had washed it and was taking it out of the washer when it caught on something....she jerked it, which released the wooden ball that had been caught on the agitator, and it sprang forth to smack her in the mouth, knocking 2 teeth out, one which went partially down her throat.

her poor husband didnt even miss a beat as she ran past him choking and spitting blood.......he sweetly followed her to find out what he could do to help.....after 30 yers of marriage to her-hes just used to the unexpected-lol.

I stepped on a fish hook and it was impaled in the bottom of my foot, requiring a trip to the E.R.  It happened in the kitchen.




Eldritchdancer -> RE: What was your most bizarre injury? (6/28/2007 9:39:12 AM)

Lets see...
1) Slipped in the bathtub and slit the inside of my right knee 1.5 inches into the muscle. The doctor was a gem. No anesthetic.

2) Running barefoot on gravel (yeah, I know), some friends and I were diving into a creek, over a submerged rock (we knew it was there). On lift-off my foot slipped. I hit the bottom of the river and pushed off -into- the rock, exposing my skull at the hairline. 17 stitches and i got to see my skull. Drove -myself- 20 miles to the hospital, down logging roads. No anesthetic. People ask if it is a lobotomy scar. I smile and say, "Yes. Isn't it sad I'm still smarter than you?"

3) "Sword fighting" with a 15 foot branch against 6 friends. One got lucky (or unlucky) and jabbed me under the left eye. I found out my mother could teleport that day. Missed the eye itself by 1/16th on an inch. Read a book, in the headlights of the car behind us, on the way to the hospital. No anesthetic. (notice a pattern here?)

4) Slipped on a slimed log, crossing a creek, slamming my left pectoral into a broken branch. Got to see the sheathing on the muscle. No hospital trip this time. If I'd landed a few more degrees horizontal, I wouldn't be alive.

Very adventurous life, for me. I have the scars to prove it.

My primary slave boy has a very large, energetic dog.  He has caused other people various injuries from knocking them down, but in my case the worst instances are the floggings from the "tail of doom" which hurt like a son-of-a-bitch and leave bruises on your legs.
 
On another occasion I leaned over to pick something up and he rushed up to me, head-butting me in the process.  I saw stars, like in a Looney Toons cartoon. [sm=rolleyes.gif] Doggie is also fond of ice cream and will slurp it right off of your cone and slobber on your face if you make the mistake of sitting on the floor with such a treat in front of him.  [:-]

By far the most ridiculous injury I ever got was at my old university.
I was walking up an icy hill on my way to class. There were handrails, and plenty of melted footholds for me to make the trip without event. However, at the top of the hill, there was a skunk. I didnt really care to be sprayed, so I stopped and waited for the skunk to cross the top of the hill path before fnishing my climb.  Unfortunately, the skunk wasnt graceful, and hit a patch of ice anc came sailingdown the hill at me. I backpedaled to get out of the way. Bad idea since I hit ice and skidded too.  The skunk smacked into my legs, took my feet out from under me and we both slid to the bottom of the hill in a pile. Needless to say, I got sprayed but good. Poor thing was scared stiff. I also, thanks to my amazing grace and athletic abilities, managed to dislocate my shouder and sprain my ankle. I was in a sling and on crutches for nearly 4 weeks from it.
The skunk was unharmed.
