What's the worst injury that happened to you when you were a kid? Did you split your knee open like I did? Puncture a hole in the back of your neck while swinging a nail on a string like my husband? What's the worst injury you've had as a kid, and how did it happen? These better be good, people.
Sense I never broke anything, or anything like that... i cut my head open twice right above my right eye in the same place. Seriously I think there was a magnet there. It still is the leading place on my body to be bumped.
I accidentally cut the skin of of the tip of my right middle finger. Holy fuc, did that hurt!
Well since I didn't break anything or do serious injury till I was an adult. I busted my head on the bathroom faucet when I climbed into the tub. I was small and thought I could do it myself, so I climbed in and slipped. It took a few stiches to close it.
Another one of my injuries happend when I was ten. I was playing with a window dowell (the kind that keeps a window from opening), and I put it in my mouth. I was running around like an idiot, and I fell. It pierced the roof of my mouth. I had to gargle salt water for a week, and it hurt to talk and to eat. I still have a huge scar up there.
My friend was running in school. She was chewing on a large boiled sweet, and was carrying a pair of scissors. Well, she tripped and fell... sticking her chin right on the point of the scissors. She got up and pulled them out, and the hole in the underside of her chin was so big that the sweet dropped through it to the floor... I'll never, ever forget that.
When I was about six years old, I was over at a friend's house. We were playing on his mom's treadmill and I accidentally turned it on. I lost my balance, fell, and got a pretty nasty cut that covered the whole part of my knee. It hurt to walk for a few days.
omgg, all of those sound fucking painful! lol, well, I was eight years old, and my mom told my brother and I not to go outside while she took my sister to the store! Well, obviously, we didn't listen! We decided to have a race, and when I was running, my brother stepped on my shoelace, and, I fell! Well, when you fall, your arms naturally fling out, and my brother stepped on it. He broke my wrist! lol
oh yeah, another time, my mom was gardening outsie! My brother, (the same one who broke my arm) and I were playing with some garden tools. I forgot which tool I had, but my brother wanted that one! I wouldn't give it to him, so he got angry! He took a sharp tool and hit my head with it! My head started bleeding like crazy! lol
The worst kid injury I can remember was when I was in second grade. my mom had the flu so she let my younger sister and I walk to the bus stop by ourselves while she watched from the window. when I was getting on the bus, I slipped on the gravel and busted my lip open. when we got to school, my sister passed out from the sight of all the blood. so the school called my poor sick moma to let her know that they had both her daughters in the health room: one with a busted lip and one who had fainted. grandma came and got my sister. I was ok, didnt need stitches or anything.
Another one that has just come to mind ... I was in the second grade and fell headfirst down a flighto f concrete steps. i"m lucky I did not wind up with a concussion, just a huge lump on my head for a month or so.
I got wip lash when my sister slpped off the road in to a ditch because it was icey out. I was trying to sleep on the back seat.
Where to start... I was scate bording with my uncle once and went down a really steep hill. Well when your going to fast down a concreet foot path (side walk) you get speed wobbles. I ended up grazing all down the side of my face my hands chest chin etc. Lots of blood lol. Another time I was on a tramp with a friend when I was about six. I jumped up as she was coming down and ended up with one of her teeth threw the top of my head. She had to go get that tooth capped. I had two or three stitches for that one. I could write these all day lol. The last one I'll put is one day me and my brother were argueing and he slamed his door. I had my hand on the door frame at the time and ended up getting the end of my finger and nail ripped off. Had to go get exerays done and all that fun stuff. That bled a lot.
ow. Sounds verry painful especialy the second and third ones.
I've never really been that prone to injury or accident, but I'll never forget the time I was in Italy with a group of people and was running so we wouldn't miss the train. I fell and slit my foot down the side but kept limping/running because I didn't want everyone else to miss the train. when one of the adults made me stop and take off my sandal, she was horrified cause my foot was covered in blood! I don't think it was that big a deal.
also, on the same trip, I got bitten by a mosquito on my left foot and thought nothing of it until I had walked around on cobbled streets for a while and then run up a really steep hill in a thunderstorm to get back to where we were staying. I thought my shoe felt a bit tight for some reason, as it turned out my foot and my leg halfway up my shin was about three times its usual size. I had to sleep with it strapped up that night, and when I saw my mum after getting off the plane the next day the first thing she said was "Oh Jesus, what happened to your foot?"
this wasn't me, but my mum was running and put her hand through a glass door, and my aunt (her sister) managed to take the top of her finger off with a gate.
Well, some kid decided to stab me in the arm with a pencil when I was three. The scar is still there.
When I was three or four, my mother had microwaved some tea for me. I decided not to wait for her, and got the tea out myself. But I ended up spilling it all over my right arm, and burning myself really bad. I had to go to emergency, and I had to put this ointment on my arm everyday and wear bandages and a cover on it for two weeks or a month. I don't remember the time period. But a faint scar still remains.
I knocked out almost a whole tooth on a gravel path on the way to school because I was running too fast, lol. I was 9 at the time and spent practically the whole morning waiting in the dentists waiting room to be seen. It took around 45 minutes for the dentist to fit well, almost a whole new tooth, lol.
Jen.
hehehe i busted my head open, have done my lip a few times too. hahaha reading this lot makies me want to curl up in bed and not get up for a week!
Another injury that comes to mind happened outside the cinema. A couple of friends and I had gone to see a movie, and my left hand was still in the door. Noone had warned me that it was about to be shut, but I was told that I just looked really calm and did not scream. i just nonchalantly said, "Hey, my hand's caught." They were shocked. It was bleeding, but not too badly. I could have lost fingers that night. Thank goodness that didn't happpen.
Wow, reading some of these really makes me say ouch.
I have two injuries, one that I don't remember, and one I most definitely do. The first was when I was about three. My sister and I had bunk beds at the time, and I was apparently playing on a top bunk. I tripped over a blanket that had gotten bunched up, fell, and landed with the bridge of my nose slamming into the corner of the dresser, which cracked it open. That I don't remember.
Then, when I was 13, I was running laps in gym class one day. Usually I got to choose who I ran sighted guide with, but that day the teacher decided I couldn't, that she didn't want me running with any of my friends, so she paired me with someone who had never walked with me before, let alone run. The girl forgot she couldn't cut corners because she had someone on her right-hand side, and I slammed into the end of the bleachers at shoulder height, at a pretty good speed. It was enough to break the right half of my collarbone.
The kicker is this. I stayed out of school for a week. Then that following Saturday, I was napping, and the phone rang. My right arm was not in a sling, and forgetting that I shouldn't use it, I reachd for the phone with it. The angle of that reach broke my collarbone all over again. And believe me, breaking bone that's newly healing hurts a hell of a lot worse than the first time. Ouchy! So I missed another week of school, and got put in a sling to boot. Fun stuff.
Hmm, Well I remember once I fell down some stairs where we used to live in New York. It wasn't really horrible... Thank god for carpet.
reading these has been so much fun. when I was 2 years old, I fell down 20 wooden steps and broke my leg. I was at my aunt's house for thanksgiving. My mom said stay in the playroom and don't come out. I'll be back. Being an impatient sort, I got tired of waiting after two minutes or so, walked out, and boom. I was lying on the ground screaming and holding the leg. My uncle walks over and says in this calm monotone "do you want a glass of milk?" I was like "this guy is not right in the head."
Wow! You actually remember that? Lol. When I was fifteen, I had this weird deja vu experience where I just knew something bad would happen to me that day. I came home from school, did homework and had dinner and was taking my shoes off and got up to put them away when I randomly tripped over the thing that sticks out of the bottom of my desk chair and I felt my ankle give and bend at an odd angle as I fell. It happened so fast and yet it seemed to take forever but there I was shaking and crying on the floor holding my foot. So, needless to say I sprained my ankle and spent six hours waiting in the emergency room.
