worst injury?

[Sputnik]

3 1/2 years ago I was desperate to make our house and garden look a little Christmassy as we went through a rough time when my dad was diagnosed with having cancer. I needed something pretty to look at and decided to hang red and purple baubles onto the tree in our front garden.

To get to the top branches I climbed onto the gardenwall, which is only about 1 metre high. When I was finished I jumped off the wall onto the footpath...as did the large stone slab of the top of the wall! I landed and so did the slab... it fell on soft ground...my left foot! I was so shocked and embarrassed, I picked the slab up and lent it against the wall so noone else would trip on it, the hobbled into the house, closed the door and then.. SCREAMED! I screamed and cried so much I could hardly catch my breath. I had to ring a friend to collect my sons from school but could hardly get the words out. She guessed what she had to do, brought the boys back to me and took me to the hospital. I was told I had probably broken several bones and at least three toes, but they wouldn't x-ray as they wouldn't do anything with broken bones in your foot anyway.

I got strong painkillers and a bandage and my toenail fell off for my enjoyment, but that was it.

One time I was reading one of Stefans' posts on this forum, and I laughed so hard my head actually fell off! Luckily I keep my brain in my ***, so I was alright!

a month a go i broke my little toe.
we were in a resturant and i was following my son, he stopped to let an older gentleman in front of him and i was looking the other way and kept walking, i had flip-flops on and caught my little toe on his shoe.
i got alot of crap for not looking where i was walking.
thats it. oooh the horror

Well, not nearly as dramatic as some of the rest, but I caught my foot on a machine guard someone had laid in a walk isle at work. My leg twisted and I hit the floor. After getting myself to a sitting position, noticed teririble pain in my right knee. My leg had folded sideways. Took two years to get over that. Guess our legs were not intended to bend 90 degrees to the side.

no nothing too nasty..

I was a generally clumsy child...I had concussion so many times as a kid, that my parents actually got taken away for questioning... having it three times as an adult, they have now let them off the hook....

then last year broke both of my little fingers within a month of each other...how stupid!! (one car racing, lucky escape in a nasty crash, the other just caught it funny on my sons ice hocky bag.....)

the hospital tried to sign me off work for two weeks for each...and got really annoyed with me for not accepting the sick notes...like it was law...

like I said before James your sick man........
