Random Injuries

Avatar

Have you ever ended up with an injury from something simple? Small or big tell us about it!

I got this mad bruise from a bar stool, yes read that again, a bar stool! No I was drunk (it was Superbowl Monday) and it just so happened this dumb bar had dodgy stools with no seals on open metal legs!

It looks kind small in the photo but at full size it covered the whole back of my leg/knee!

That don’t look small!

I’m a spaz I get random injuries everyday. Today; A blister on the palm of my hand - from shovelling dirt and I was wearing gloves. I was also doing it in thongs (flip flops) and didn’t manage to hurt my feet or blow out a thong!

Pulled a muscle in my shoulder while halter training an Alpaca.

Right now I am glad Mizu is away, he would be all over this one.  blank stare

My elbow is super sore right now and i can feel heaps of little lumps along the bone…...On Sunday night after Good Vibes i thought it was a good idea to jump onto the back of a moving tram. I made an awesome dive and grabbed a handle on the back. All was good until the poster under my foot tore and i fell onto the path next to the tracks.

Damn sounds painful!! When it comes to cutting/stabbing oneself I managed to slice my finger open with a chisel in highschool! Should have relied on the bench vice to hold the wood and not my hand! It has been 10yrs and I still have the scar!

Reminds me of the time I was opening a bag of frozen vegies, in front of my (then) 5yo daughter, and teaching her about not using teeth to open bags; I’d had glass of wine, held the bag in one hand, put a very sharp kitchen knife through the corner of the bag (the corner I was holding) and while slicing off the corner took a slice of skin clean off the tip of my finger.

She is such a cool kid, she immediately set out to find the tiny slice of skin and gave it back to me to reattach. Only the 2 of us were home at the time.
I didn’t put the skin back as it had been on the floor - the cut was so precise it may have reattached. We cleaned up and bandaged the finger, then finished dinner.

The knife was directed away from her and me BTW.
