Just wondering if theres any clumsy or unluck ppl in here whos injured themselves or had rare illness. Ill start:

INJURY:
Broke wrist-going down hill on skateboard while eating crisp and fell off and landed on wrist.
Hole in top of head- being chased and tried to hold on a door but the purser let go so i flew and banged head on sink which gave me 3 stitches.
upper teeth through lower lip- jumping on coach slipped banged chin on chair putting my teeth through my lip, still got scar.

Illness:
Blotch legs-Went to hospital for checkup and picked up a virus which i didnt know i had till a day later when i went for a pee and saw red dots on legs. 4 days later couldnt walk and legs where covered in red blotches and bumps, two weeks later all gone.

So far ive i think thats all i want to mention others are a bit embarrising and rude. So cmon tell me what you had :)

Current illness:
causes me to post in wrong threads :rolleyes:
 
Ruptured spleen - needing removal - nearly died tbh and if i was left 1 hour longer before going to hospital i would've done.

Now have to have vaccines for:

Pneumonia
Meningitis
HIB
Flu

And the doctor recommends i have a permanent life long course of anitbiotics.

If i get a cold it's like flu to me, if i get flu it's time on my back with lots of pain.

Killer :p
 
Fell off a post on the beach at porthtowan and fractured my ankle earlier this summer.
drilled through (nearly) my wrist with a black and decker

two of many injurys, i am pretty clumsy :)
 
Broken and dislocated little finger, and chicken pox.

Apart from that, never had anything majorly bad in 24 years.
 
I had an abscess on my lung which burst and the puss grew unchecked for 2 weeks before I went into hospital. It pushed my heart to the right side of my chest and gave me blood poisoning.

Given one week to live. :eek:
 
Broke my sternum (chest), split right down the middle!!

Fell from the top of the stairs when I was younger, and flew a bit, and landed on the top of the bannister pole at the bottom and it broke my breast bone.

Mal :D
 
Most recent injury resulted in me returning home from the Alps last summer with two broken arms.

Obviously driving, dressing and a few other personal activities proved either impossible or very difficult, but the biggest problem I had was working out how to use the mouse. :D

Had a few breaks prior to that, but always one at a time.
 
fractured collar bone falling of park bench at 2
cracked skull on marble floor at 8
nothing for a while now tw
 
broken finger. ummm. i has gastroenteritis once. was throwing up for 8 hours solid. i spent the next 3 days in bed with pulled stomach and chest muscles. But on the plus side, i did lose nearly a stone lol
 
Fractured my wrist twice.

First time i fell off a bike,

Second time i slipped on some shampoo at a private swimming pool



and i also broke my ankle when i put my Gilera Runner Scooter into the hedge when the road was wet :(
 
Broken left ulna and radius, right ulna, left and right clavicles, left scapula, eight ribs, cracked right hip, pierced right kneecap, shattered right kneecap within 4 days of coming off the crutches after piercing it, multiple compound fractures to my right foot and ankle and fractured right tibia.

I've had IBS, stomach ulcers, an ingrown hair on my back that required excision, necrotic bacterial tonsilitus (three weeks of smelling and tasting nothing but my own rotting throat...joy...) and shingles.

And my gf is a celiac.

Are you the bubble boy? How on earth have you done so much damage to yourself?
 
Split my head 3 times.
Had a couple of teeth knocked out with a cricket ball. That also burst my lip pretty bad.
No broken bones yet...*touches wood.*

Thats about it for me.

A combination of skating, playing rugby, being clumsy, playing around on farms, playing around/in cars and being the kind of drunk that refuses to turn down a dare.

:/

Left clavicle and scapula were broken whilst sitting inside a 5' diameter ball of fence wire, welded together and being towed by a range rover at about 40mph down B-roads at 3 in the morning.

That was fun at A&E...

"What did you do?"

"Er...fell off a wall?"

Had what they call "lazy eye" since i was born had an opertaion on one eye when i was very young (think i was about 5) and had a second one when i was 13 which in the operation they had to "relax" the muscles around the eye and re-align them, came out of the operation, got home, sat down in a chair and it felt like my eye rolled back into my skull, (not nice) two weeks later they told me i had stitches in my eye :eek:

ok its not an illness or injury as such but its still a bit of interest
