Strange injuries

Just wondering if you've ever hurt yourself under strange circumstances. I once stepped into a bath, slipped, knocked myself out & turned the scalding hot tap on at the same time, this was the result, was lucky not not drown!

Ouch!

yep,the strangest ive had,

a mate of mine had a cross breed dog,dunno what it was,like a short stocky thing,.

anyways,. he used to retrieve a plastic wheel cover from a car, a bit like a frisby,.

one summer day the dog brought it to me to throw,.and off course it had all sharp chewed edges etc,.

so as the dog had it in its mouth,stupid me was mimiking the dog,. like nose to nose with it making a doggie growl noise...

anyway it turned its head away realy sharply,and as it did the wheel cover ripped my eyelid from my face.

Bet that was an eye opener not to ever do that again! Sorry that was bad! What had to be done to your eyelid then?

well it was hanging on by the corner,but hanging down my face,

so my mate drove me to hospital and left me there,.

so i went in to A&E and i was asked to sit down and wait,so i sat there and hour or so holding my eye,.

eventualy a nurse came called me into a booth but she couldnt believe it when i took my hand of my eye,she couldnt believe it or understand why i hadnt said anything as i was just sat there nice and quiet and dead polite like,. i told her,. i was just told to wait lol

So a doctor came and sewed it back on for me,but its ok now except for a scar right across my left eyelid.

thats must of been one massive scab when it started to heal mate

Erm....

Where to start....

Most recent -> Blew myself up in the shed when welding.

Most painful -> skateboard and going to a 4 wheel slide, and slipping off the grip tape and removing most of the skin off my back on the tarmac down the road. Still have marks from the grafts.

Most amusing -> Getting airbourne in a go-kart and landing hard and banging my cocyx, couldn't sit down for a few days, cleared a good few metres though

So is that pic from when it happend? only asking really as my mate's boy (7yr old) fell asleep against a radiator at home when it was off but after the heating came back on after a while he woke up screaming as he had no top on & had burnt all down one side of his back!

its ok now except for a scar right across my left eyelid.

I've got a scar on my left eyelid too. Less glamourous - I fainted once and split it open. A tad lower and I could've had my eye out!

We were having a picnic in the New Forest. A male horse was nearby, and was very interested in the food. I shooed it away a couple of times, the kids were young and I'd heard of New Forest ponies getting a little rough. We finished, and as we started packing up, the horse came back. My wife was kneeling on the ground, rolling up the blanket...the horse then got really close to her, and it was obviously sexually aroused, its appendage hanging down like a baseball bat...as she shooed it away, the damn animal reared up and came down, basically headbutting my wife in the top of her head with its teeth. She went down like a ton of bricks, totally out cold. The horse then tried to stamp on her, and kicked her in the back a couple of times before I could react and push it away from her.

Anyway, ambulance, hostpital, stitches, observation and she was back home a day later, non too bad considering. That night, she went to bed early and I went up a few hours later. She was fast asleep but woke when I turned the side lamp on to undress...she turned to see me in my full naked glory. She screamed, and threw the alarm clock at me, hitting me in the forehead cutting me nastily above the eye. I said "shit Jane, why the hell did you do that ?"

She sobbed, "you reminded me of that effing horse"

At first I thought ouch poor girl but got to the end & that has made me chuckle

Now that's just showing off

When at primery school,all the boys used to change for sports in the toilets(I knew I shouldnt have posted this)I slipped and fell hitting my jaw on the urinal.My lip started to bleed and it hurt.When I looked a little further it became apparent my tooth had punctured my lip.I now have a scar the width of my tooth under my bottom lip.School was tough after that.

Another time I did the classic mistake of swopping bikes for the journey home from school with a pal.He had a racer and I had a Chopper.I Didnt think about the brakes until I needed them.Just about to come off the pavement so pulled the brake lever.My rear brake lever was on the right,his was on the left.Pulled the lever that I thought was the rear,but was really the front.Straight over the handlebars,landing face first on the tarmac.Not a pretty site.I blame this on my looks to this day.....

When in Secondary school,I should have grown up by then,I and my pal decided to take on a business study after hours that the school did,called the young enterprise scheme.

In the main hall there was a stage,I decided to get on the stage,playing the fool as per usual.My pal comes around the corner,I then get on his shoulders.So I am now sat on his shoulders.He decides to walk.Bear in mind he is six foot and me a liitle shorter.I loose balance and fall backwards.Head hits the floor and I remember it bouncing a couple of times on the wooden floor.Bugger me that hurt.Split head,hospital visit,right prat.

Yeah that was when I returned to work (about 2 months after it happened)

Ewen, that had me creased up

Sorry about the long post!

Mines a good un and it should serve as a warning to people who don't normally work on their knees. I am lazier than a mexican village but I had a couple of weeks off work and decided to do a bit of work on the house. I was replacing skirting boards and the odd creaky floorboard around the house. After 3 or 4 days of being on my knees I felt ok but then I got the shock of my life!! Went into our kitchen about 11pm and saw a little puddle of water on the floor, got some kitchen roll and knelt down to mop it up.......ouch.!! Something went pop inside my knee, it felt like there was a blister on the surface but there was nothing there.... In hopeless optimism I went to bed in agony and thought the rest would fix it. It was really painful to touch but there was no evidence of any problem on the surface.

Woke up at 1.30 and my knee had swelled up to the size of a tennis ball. I couldn't bend the knee at all and the pain was impressive to say the least. I was the only one at home so I rang a family member at 2am to take me to the hospital. They had no idea what I had done and kept saying I'd twisted it. They sent me home on a Friday morning at 7am and told me to come back on Monday.

I was in agony all weekend and the swelling was now the size of a Rugby ball, my leg had gone bright red and you could fry an egg on it as it was so hot. Went back on the Monday at 9am and they told me it was infected. I had to come back every morning for a week to have an anti-biotic injection. They injected me and I went home still in a lot of pain.

By 5pm that day I was in a right state. My knee had now swelled to twice it's size and I couldn't feel my hands or feet. Vicki found me at home trembling under a douvet with the heating on full blast! I was rushed to the infirmary and a doctor (Raj) really got to grips with the problem as the others had been less than useless!! Raj told me that they had to take samples from my knee, I thought ok then I realised that they couldn't give me any kind of pain relief or local anesthetic..... Raj put this big fook off needle in my knee three times and drew out loads of green shit, I was being held down by Vicki and my mum as I shouted a number of expletives all over the A&E dept whilst punching the partition. This to date is the worst pain I have ever experienced, it is how I imagine torture to be!

I was kept in Wigan infirmary for a week and was injected with antibiotics every 4 hours. After this the infection was up near my arse and going half way down my shin. I asked a nurse what happens if the antibiotics fail. She said "The surgeon will speak to you but they will have to consider other options".... Luckily after 8 days the infection started working it's way back towards my knee and calming down. I thought this was the end of the nightmare. I asked another nurse will it just be a case of the antibiotics solving everything and she said yes, you'll may gome home in a couple of days....

8am on a Saturday morning, the surgeon then comes in and does a bit of poking about and then claps his hands and says "Right, we'll operate on that now!!"....W.T.F?? Within an hour I was in theatre having my leg drained, they couldn't do it all with one opening on the front of my knee so they made another on the side. They left whe wounds "open" and two days later stitched up the main wound and another drainage operation. The one on the side was left open to heal naturally. The worst part was on the Tuesday when I saw what the two ops had done to my previously beautiful left leg. They had coated my hairy legs with iodene that had dried onto the bandages, the slow removal of said bandages pulled out every single hair one by one. I screamed like a girl!!

So it's two weeks in hospital, 8 weeks at home being visited by the district nurse having my bandages changed and all generally unpleasant. Here are some pics, 2 years later!!

I'll never work on my knees again!!

So what was it that actually happend to make it go like that?

Oh yeah, a point to the post would help.... I had a Bursa which is like a blister under the skin, this burst and infected my blood stream causing Cellulitis!! The infection was very aggressive. Basically, they drew a line at the top of my leg and if the infection would have got past his then it would have been a "leg off" job...

I once punched a big fat guy in a club because he nutted my friend and ended up breaking my hand... 2 days in hospital, one operation, a metal plate, 6 pins and a bad hangover made me realise its not a very good idea hitting someone who weighs 3 times as much as you. Luckily for me it must have been a decent punch as he went straight to the floor.

Had 6 weeks off work which was nice, but left with a big, ugly scar down my hand.

So thats when I left the life of violence and became a lover not a hater

You should never punch anyone. Use the flat of your hand (palm strike), it's harder on your victim attacker and doesn't hurt you. The japs use this technique to kill people as it sends your nose through your brain!

Not that i am well up on this sort of thing!!
