Worst injury you have got?

[Internazionale]

Post you/your family or friends injuries here

The worst? That would have to be the shattered jaw, back in 2000. It was worse than the shattered ankle of '90. Both required metal (screws, pins, plates) to be added to my, now bionic, skeleton.

...I did have a girlfriend once (for about 4 years) who was hit in the forehead by the front bumper of a pickup truck that came through the windshield of her car (it was attached to the truck at the time). Needless to say, she is not my girlfriend anymore.

What? Did she get horribly deformed and you didn't want to be seen with her in public, or is she 6' under?

She was in a coma for about 5 days and suffered some brain injury. After she came out of the coma, things were not really the same anymore. The brain is a funny thing. Sometimes, it can get knocked around a little bit (or a lot, as in this case) and change your entire personality. We stayed together for about 2 years after that, but things eventually fell apart.

The funny thing is that while she was in the coma, her doctor took me aside and told me that our relationship would most likely not last. I didn't believe him (I was 20 years old and still idealistic), but he was right. He said that most of the time, with brain injuries, the personality change is often too drastic to overcome. It was true; she was an entirely different person. I tried, but after 2 years, it became unbearable. Actually, it was unbearable long before that, but I was young and stubborn, so I dragged it out longer than I should have.

...of course, she ended up getting about $800,000 in a lawsuit (the driver that hit her was drunk @ 5:00 pm), so that helped her out a bit, I suppose. I have not seen her in about 6 or 7 years, but the last thing I heard is that she is still having a tough time with things.

So, if there are any lessons that you should pull from this...

-don't drive drunk
-don't get a brain injury
-don't date girls with brian injuries, or those who may be prone to getting them

i was blind for half a day...it might not be that tough, but It shocked me more than getting hit by a car...

[jimkatalanos]

I broke my left hand twice in a period of 2 monts.

[Hattori]

Never broke any bone, my worst would be a very deep cut on my finger some years ago, I still dont have 100% sensibility on the point of that finger and probably never will again.

[catintheoven]

Ive never properly injured myself, but some one did shoot me with a rubber pellet and it just missed my eye, and some one did chuck a giant rock at my head

come to think of it both these were the same person... im starting to think he possibly didnt like me

[Lord Condormanius]

and some one did chuck a giant rock at my head

That reminds me...I have a dent in my skull from when someone threw a 10lb freeweight at my head when I was 14. It was one of those plastic-coated concrete weights. The plastic cover actually broke on my head and a piece of the concrete came off with it. No real injury from that, however.

[catintheoven]

I also swallowed a kinder egg plane and a 2p and my brother mistook 4 packets of the contraceptive pill for smarties and had himself a little party and had to have his stomach pumped

Worst i ever had i got at the age of 16, playing footbal(European, well soccer)

Went into a duel with another player i think, not sure, to head the ball...

At that time i was trying out for our B-team, adults and stuff and was playing in an low importance match just so they could see if i were any good..

I think i went head to head, not sure, as i can't remember any of it. Can't remember the last half of the match actually..
I've been told i kept running and running even when there was no reason to, and when the match ended i kept asking for the results..

I was gonna hold a party that day, and some of my freind were at the match, well, when they talked to me i didn't recognize them and freaked out at the though of holding a party. I was later that day sent to the hospital, neurology floor About every 5th minute i kept asking if i had played football, how it went, who i played against etc.. Only my uncle was present, and i scared the **** out of him by asking him the same thing all night:-p

I regained my.. memory? lol, sometime during the next day. Sort of like hitting a switch, suddenly i was there and like WTF? what am i doing in a hospital bed with a needle in my arm? Still can't remember any of it, funny thing I also forgot some other things, like how my girlfriend looked.. Now that caused some funny moments..

Morale of the story: Amnesia is bad, going head to head with a guy twice your weight, bad. Memory is a precious thing, and my greatest fear now is loosing my memory again!

[Gary88]

not an injury per se but i swallowed a plastic bit of a toy when i was 3 and it got stuck in my throat, i was chocking and couldnt breathe for a few minutes and a coughed up a lot of blood.

when my dad was taking me to hospital he was driving absurdly fast as you do when your child is dying in the backseat and this boy racer decided to try and race him...****

lol!

Concussed a few times, worst one was a brick to my head and the rest were shoulder charges in hurling or a wild pull (should have worn a helmet), I broke my ankle (which got infected with a load of yellow stuff) and my wrist playing that too, dislocated a finger and could have broken my nose too but never got it checked cos I didnt want to miss my lift home. A 40 foot drop from a tree while doing "gymnastics" when I was a kid gave me another concussion that caused me to vomit a few times and my mother was freaking out trying to keep me awake on the way to the doctor. Nearly cut off one of my fingers when I was about 7 with a hunting knife too but thankfully it was set back in place. I have a load of scars that I have no idea how I got too including a 5 inch whopper just under my right knee that I think was a security fence.

Most painful one I've seen was one of the lads on our soccer team embedded 3 teeth in another guys head when they both went up for a cross, they found 2 of the teeth, one in the grass and the other sticking out of the guys head but the last one was embedded well under the skin in the guys head and no one realised it until after it had been stitched in and the cut got infected.

My friend once slipped on the edge of his bathtub and rammed one of his balls so bad it flew up a few centimetres into his body. They had to operate to put the nut back in the bag.

Poor guy...

Ouch! reminds me of one guy i used to go to school with, someone( a freind of his) tossed a snowball and struck him right in the goodies, nut sure what happened, but something went wrong with one of his nuts and he had to have it removed in a surgery! lol

What a pal, making you loose your balls

[Rob_the_Celt]

**** that would hurt, winner so far. Heard of an American football player who got his hip dislocated and when they put it back in his balls went into the socket and got crushed, don't know if its true but, damn.

[Rob_the_Celt]

Thinkin of it one of the lads got a belt of a hurl in the nuts before and had to get a load of operations as well. He prob lost at least one of them too, poor bastard. If he could block he'd have been grand

[The Mongol]

I haven't broken in my life yet but I sliced my head open bad.

I was just about to move out of Toronto and I went over to my friends across the street to say my goodbyes. We were watching a bit of TV while my parents were packing and I stood up off his couch and directly above it was a staircase. The corner of the bottom of the staircase sliced my head open and I ran to the sink.

The entire time that sink was on the water was red. It seemed like I lost a ton of blood but I felt ok, I just went and got a staple stitch.

When I was in college (many years ago), one of my roomates was almost halved by the toilet. He was sitting on it when he shifted his weight (don't ask me what he was doing) and the already loose toilet seat came off the hinge causing him to land with the porcelain right in the prostate. No real damage, just a funny story about how we got a new toilet seat.

A few weeks ago, myself and four others, were playing around with some hurleys at close range. One of the guys took the sliotar abour two inches from his nuts and didn't even flinch. That was when I decided I was not the caliber of man that this game requires.
