Alright injury thread. Today I dislocated my knee horribly in the middle of the road. Surprisingly I didn't cry like the little bitch I am and instead only screamed and yelled bloody murder. Bystanders were also unexpectedly helpful as while someone called an ambulance another person gave me their bottle of water and a cab driver stopped, got out and kept me company until my girlfriend (who was already nearby) rushed to my side. I also never thought morphine was that big of a deal but hooooooo boy was I wrong. Luckily they reset the knee and got me into a splint before I woke up from my anesthetic.
With what happened earlier I think the funniest moment was me doped up groaning "noooooooo" at the doctor when he marked me as "single" on the form, then grabbing my girlfriend's arm and waving it around as proof. Also I was stuck next to a drunk frothing at the mouth whom I could barely understand aside from the frequent swears he yelled at the staff.
Oh, also one of the fireman who frequents my cafe was one of the first on-scene. My response when he walked over screaming in pain, "HI TOM NICE TO SEE YOU COME HERE OFTE- aaarrrrghhhh!"
So I guess I'm asking you, SE++, what have been your worst injuries, how did you deal with them and were there any hilarious moments in between? Maybe they took your mind off the pain? Regale me with tales good people.

I was able to crawl up the hill before she came back with help and had to quit ballet because of how badly my muscles in my calf atrophied from being in a cast for so long.
Chick moved away before I got out of the cast so I could never properly thank her.
My father didn't want to take me to the hospital because there were no bones sticking out anywhere.
Kinda thankful there was a fist sized chunk of bone jutting out beneath my jeans that let people know it was serious
I'm glad that people were helpful. She just stood there watching me trying to stand up and seemed confused as to why I kept falling down screaming.
"Are...Are you okay?"
"No."
"Can you walk?"
hah! this is adorable.
Now I don't know your father
so this could sound incredibly insensitive and rude
But if I ever saw your father I would punch him in the dick
Yo kid is hurtin'? Take yo damn kid to the fucking doctor.

He just expects his kids to be tough because he thinks he's really tough too.
When I ruptured two discs in my spine he had me paint the fence because my brother was doing a terrible job of it even though I would occasionally lose feeling in one of my legs.
Later, she didn't want to take me to the hospital when I broke my arm.
Also decided it was best to just wait a day before taking me to the hospital after second degree burns.
Basically what I'm saying is my mother is DUMB.
(I haven't ever been injured.)
and I have some scars on my knees
Thaaaaaat's about it.

It hurt pretty bad.
And then what happened?

Did it taste like steak?
well my mom dropped a clothes iron on my arm as a child
she cried for 2 days
We had ovens in the back and the chef had put on a huge tray of cooked chicken breasts, and the tray was just full of oil and grease
a girl went to get the tray to cut more chicken without realizing how hot it was and it tilted forward and sprayed her with hot chicken juices
I had to take her shirt off and hold a frozen pack of wraps against her while we waited for the ambulance
I got a big bonus on the condition that I didn't speak out about it
I KNEW I wasn't the only person who thought this.
Also, I am throwing up into a toilet and my intestines are in pain.
Stitches.
except
my heart
Wow.
How long ago was that?
I broke my right forearm and pelvis in a car accident in '06. Shattered about half an inch worth of bone in both bones in my arm and snapped the back portion of my pelvis right next to my spine.
Was stuck in the hospital for a week, got surgery to reset the bones and screw in metal plates to keep them in place. Doctor said I couldn't walk for three months, started hobbling around with a cane just after two. The whole story is pretty "holy fuck".
Another time I was in Italy and got my finger caught between two panes of a sliding-glass door. it crushed my finger into such a tiny space that it "popped" the end of my finger under the nail and it bled for awhile and I lost the fingernail for a little bit.
I've never broken a bone but that might be because I drank a ton of milk every day as a child so little things like getting hit by a car while running to catch the bus netted me nothing more-serious than knocking the wind out of me.
I rolled off the hood and continued to chase the bus. I caught it 8-)

Got surgery on it about 8 months ago. A month ago I was dancing at the bars when a fat man fell on my leg. It hurts again now.
About 7 years now.
Is that weird?

it's from extreme smoochin'
It's the run-up that gets ya. Gotta get the interlock angle just perfect, or the combined velocities of the participants conspires to push teeth through lips.

after lifting it up somewhat quickly one day and causing much pain, it has begun to hurt on some days when I am at work walking a lot
I am kind of afraid to run on it for long periods of time
this is a pretty minor injury I suppose
