In what weird ways have you hurt yourself???
You asked...
School bus accident. Jacked up my neck.
Roller coaster malfunction. Whiplash that went all the way down my spine, a concussion that permanently damaged my vision, and an opportunity to sue a certain theme park (which I didn't).
My horse, on separate occasions, managed to crack one of my fillings, break my glasses in half, almost break my nose (at least twice), and bruise my cheekbone. Other horses have kicked me, stepped on me (including my hand at least once, my leg once, feet numerous times), bitten me (I have twice been pulled partway over a door by a horse), and the typical bumps and falls that occur when one rides horses on a regular basis (though I am very hard to throw: I've fallen 5 times in my life)
My orthodontist dislocated my jaw. Injury was discovered 2 years, almost a dozen doctors, and about 13 fillings later. (I have no enamel on my teeth because of some meds I took as a baby, so am exceptionally prone to dental issues)
My colt dumped me on my face. I had to dig my glasses out of the dirt (after I slid; my glasses were lodged in the dirt near my hip), I had vertical stripes on my face from the dirt (as in, scratches in my face), my shoulder was jammed (6 years later, I have arthritis in my shoulder), a hoof print on my leg, and I would have sworn I'd broken some ribs (my elbow was pretty much jammed into my ribs, but they were just bruised). With my history of neck and back injuries, I still wonder to this DAY how my neck/back weren't even sore.
My cat tried to kill me and knocked me down the stairs...could barely walk for two days.
Broke my tailbone roller-skating.
Pulled a tendon in my hand.
Have sprained two fingers and both thumbs, all on separate occasions.
Have had at least half a dozen concussions.
Passed out while working at the jewelry store...earned two of my aforementioned concussions on the way to the floor. Also have had a tremor in my hand ever since.
That's about it for weird injuries.
I also know someone who broke his ankle when he tripped on a handicapped ramp (and a year later broke his arm when a van backed over him on the sidewalk), my husband spiral-fractured his leg in two places while roller-skating and trying not to crash into a toddler, and my father-in-law shattered his leg chasing a shoplifter...he had done it umpteen times before, but this time, the wet grass did him in.
Like I said...you asked.
Sorry, scarlet, but that is funny!
