When I was 13 I scalded my neck and the back of my head! It KILLED!
It was really dumb - I was washing my hair over the sink and I had the kettle of boiling water next to me. I was putting some of the boiling water in the jug, then adding cold water from the tap to it and then using it to rinse my hair. I'd poured some of the boiling water into the jug and then I thought "hang on, my t-shirt is getting soaked", so I took my shirt off and chucked it over the chair. I then picked up the jug with the boiling water in it, completely forgetting that I hadn't added the cold water to it, and poured it right over my head!
It didn't hurt at first but I just knew I'd done something serious even though it didn't actually hurt at that point. But, God, you should have seen the back of my neck the next day!! It was all red and covered in these horrible big blisters that kept popping all the time (I know I'm being gross but you really should've seen it!!).
It took ages to heal properly. It didn't leave any major scars or anything but my left earlobe is slightly disfigured cos it got scalded as well.

Welp....I'll just say the time when I was in kindergarden...
I was riding my bike with my dad and brother up and down our street(it's a dead end).I was riding fine and then I looked down.When I looked back up I was at the side of the road...and I crashed into a mailbox. Don't laugh! So anyway....It was a wooden mailbox...the corner of it went in my eye.Talk about painfull! My dad picked my up and I rode on his bike down to our house.Then he called me.I had a horrible black eye for who knows how long.I have a picture of me when that happened too.I still shiver when i see it! Welp...there's my sad story...lol

I shut my finger in my car door. And I mean the door fully closed on my finger; I had to lift the handle to get my finger back. Hurt like #$&@! I had to get 6 stitches.

I've had so many injuries it's not even funny. The hospital is like my home away from home.
I was in the 3rd grade so I was like 7 and I was at the park, and me and my sis. were coming from this ice cream truck and she was supposed to hold my hand but I dodn't want her to, so she ran across the street to where everyone else was. So I did the look to ya right then to the left thing and started to cross, then the ice cream truck stopped and I couldn't see and continued to cross. By that time I was already in the middle of the street. Then this car comes speeding down the street and hits me and all I can remember was hitting my head on the pavment. I ended up with a broken neck inches from my spine, lucky, and a broken thigh bone and the entire front side of my left thigh had the skin scrapped off. I was in never ending pain for months and took about a year for me to fully recover, and I still get pain in my back and neck when I do too much with my neck.

Wow I've had a lot but probably when I was 7. My dad had just taken some scalding hot soup off of the stove. He was walking over to the table with it and he tripped over a spoon on the floor. The pan came out of his hand and landed on me. It got all over my stomache and my stomache was red for weeks. When I started to scream my parents took me and put me in the sink and turned the cold water on on me. But the soup was so hot my skin had blisters and stuff. It was nasty.

The worst injury I have is having a car window roll up on my pinky finger. My friend who was driving was already in the car, and I was getting into the car. I had the edge of the car door, at the very top the next thing I know the window was pinching the hell out of my finger.

There was this time when I was 10 years old when I was helping my parents and my cousin get a load of wood. I was standing by the tailgate of the truck and my dad didn't know I was there. He sawed off a part of a limb and it came down and hit me in the back of my head. I started to collapse and then the same part of my head hit the tailgate on my way to the ground. I blacked out for about 15 seconds. When I came too I had a terrible headache. My parents didn't think I was seriously hurt at first but several hours had passed and my head still hurt so they finally took me to the hospital. The doctor said that I had a fractured skull and that it was a good thing my parents didn't wait any longer than they did to take me to the hospital because otherwise I could have suffered severe brain damage or I could have even died. I was in the hospital for about three days. I made a full recovery.

I am so accident prone, but here's one story that sticks out. I was like 4 and I was running around the house acting like a total idiot, in my pretty little princess outfit. My mom told me to "cut it out" because I was going to hurt myself and I thought it was sooo cool not to listen to mommy. So anywayz......I was running through the hall, and I tripped over Ken & Barbie's dream car or something like that, and there was this bolt sticking out of my sister's playpen and it jammed into my head! So...I had this hole...on the side of my head. Crying, Screaming, Pain, Blood, Big Mess....I had to get stitches and wear a bandage around my head for weeks. I never got to wear that outfit again, and I don't think I ever fully recovered.....

Like somebody said earlier, the hospital was a second home for me. I was pretty active growing up and had a bunch of accidents. As for the worst, I'd have to say it was a tie between 2.
The first one happened back in November 1990. I was in a basketball game at school. We were playing against a BIG rival of ours. Anyway, the girl that was guarding me was NOT very good, I could get by her pretty easy. So they started to double-team me and I could still get by them. So they triple-teamed me, I'm not stupid there are 2 people open so I passed the ball. This chick (number 24 her name was Jennifer) started to get really mad so she started to play dirty by kicking me when the ref was not looking. Mad me fall one time, the ref still didn't call the foul. My coach finally called a time out to see if I was okay. I told him it didn't hurt and that I could go on. This was in the first quarter. This went on the entire game (Yes I did get a couple of shots in myself) After the game my family went out to dinner. We went to a mexican place in town, real good food there. Anyway, by the time dinner was over I started complaining that my knee hurt. By the time we got home my knee was pretty swollen. My mom took me to the doctor the next day. They sent me to get an MRI and then sent me to a Civilian doctor because all of the military surgeons were involved in Operation Desert Storm. So I go see this doctor and he asks me some questions and feels my knee. He tells me that I have torn some cartlidge in my knee and that it was going to require surgery. He pulls out the MRI and takes a look at that then. He turns to me and tells me I have bigger problems then the cartlidge because my kneecap is out of place.
To say the least, that was my last organized game that I played in basketball. I still miss it.
The other injury that ranks up there as the worst happened September 1992. This will probably make you laugh on how I messed up my ankle, but here goes. I was wearing a pair of house shoes that my grandmother had knitted for me (I have never worn anything like that again) I was turning the corner in my house to go to my room when I stubbed my toe on the carpet (the hall I was in was tile and the hall I was going to had carpet, you know how it has that little bumb where carpet starts, I stubbed my toe on that) Anyway, when I did that my foot turned out but my foot kept going forward. I dislocated my ankle and broke it in several places. I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance (I don't remember much about the ride because I was starting to go into shock) The doctor was getting ready to leave for the night when he heard that I was coming in so he stayed behind because he knew that he would be the one to operate on me because he was the specialist. His surgical team was still there so they stayed as well. I get to the ER and the first thing they had to do was pop my ankle back in place. They gave me a shot of demoral and morphine. I remember that I screamed because it hurt, but I don't remember it hurting, those shots worked wonders :D Anyway, they stabilized my leg and sent me to a room for the night. I was going to be the very first surgery the next day. I ended up with 4 screws in my ankle and a couple of nasty scars on each side of my foot. I was on crutches for a LONG time with that one.

Well when I was 2 years old. My mom was making my baby crib for me and I keep jumping on my parents bed. My mom sat me down and told me I was going to get hurt. She went back to making my bed and I went back to jumping and I must have tripped over something before my mom could get to me I had fell and busted my head wide open. I had to have 7 stiches.
I have had a ankle sprain. We was doing these drills and I went in for a layup when my ankle turned completely over. I was hurt bad. My mom and dad take me to the doctors office so they get an x-ray. They put me in a wheelchair I hit my ankle on the side of the wheelchair and then I thought for sure it was broke. It only turned out to be a severe ankle sprain.
I was also in the hospital every fall and spring until I was 5 years. Please don't ask why either.

It was back in '89, I was 3 and an idiot, my dad just finished using the B.Q. pit and I was playing outside with my older brother. My mom was also out there but she had to go to the back of our backyard to turn on the hose so she can water the grass. Me, like an idiot, ran and put both of my hands on the HOT B.Q. pit. I was completly burned and VERY red, I still remember my screaming and crying. When I got to the hospital they put some icky stuff on me and wrapped up my hands. But there was also one more bad thing, this was the early '90's I was messing around on my bike going really fast down-hill when I went flying right into the street, I was wearing my helmet but of course had to go to the hospital. I think when I burned my hands was way worse, OH the pain!

My worst injury was when I was four. My dad and I were riding bikes up the street towards our house, and I turned around to tell him somthing. When I turned, I turned my handlebars which got me off balance, and I flipped over the handlebars onto the pavement head first. My daddy jumped off of his bike and carried me up our front lawn into my house. I had smashed my face up and my teeth went into my lip. I had to get stiches on the inside of my lip and had a fat lip and tons of scratches and bumps on my face.

Besides electrocuting myself when I was three by sticking a key into a socket, and streching a ligament in my ankle once, my worst most gruesome injury happened during the summer of 97'.
Anyway, I was way into skateboarding at the time. I was fearless, and would do anything that the boys would do. I felt equal to them, and felt like I could do anything they could do.
So one would expect my worst skating injury would be ollieing a flight of stairs or something. Wrong.
I was up at my grandmothers house, and I was rolling around in her driveway. There was gravel on each side of the driveway, and there were little rocks scattered about.
So, anyway, I was pushing myself up the driveway, when I got tangled up trying to do a fakie ollie(basically taking my pushing foot towards the front of the board). I twisted a little too fast and my face when downward first.
I was basically airbourne with my face being the thing that hit first.
You know that feeling that you get when you hit your nose really hard? It's almost like an odor. A taste. Multiply that by ten.
Initially, I didn't cry. It was more like shock. I felt my forehead, and it was like an egg was protruding from it.
There were pieces of gravel implanted into my skin, and blood gushing from above my lip.
I ran inside, trying to avoid anyone, and went into the bathroom.
What a lovely sight that was.
My forehead was basically two levels, while both of my eyes were black. Nice fat lip too.
There were cuts above my lip( that I still have scars from), and my chin was all scratched up. Thankfully, all my teeth were intact.
My nose wasn't broken, but I had that constant feeling I was talking about before.
I only started crying when I sat down for dinner and my grandmother asked me why I was looking down at the floor. She soon caught on.

The worst injury I ever had was a shoulder injury in grade 3. Some stupid girls in the sixth grade went underneath the swing I was on and one of them bumped their head on the swing, and that kind of jerked me and I swinged for a bit longer and soon felt a little sore. It wasn't until I got home for lunch that I felt a tremendous pain in my shoulder and neck. The shoulder still bothers me if I put too much weight on it. When I went to the doctor I don't think they even bothered to take an x-ray. I wish they had. For all I knew the shoulder could have been fractured or something worse. The doctor just told me to put some heat on it and thought it would get better that way. The shoulder still bothers me once in awhile, but it's not as bad as it was when I originally had the injury.

My worst injures began when my bike got stolen. However the police got it back. It had been awhile so I went over to my friends however and it was all downhill and with lots of turns. Well, as I was making the last turn and got on my breaks, I noticed the breaks weren't working. There was a fence right in front of me with a hill too. And I crashed into the hill and slammed my head into the fence. It really hurt.

I've had 4 serious injuries. 1) I burnt
one of my hands on a lawn mower exhaust
at the age of 2. 2) My middle finger got
smashed in a doorway. 3) I went flying
down a flight of stairs and broke my
foot. 4) This injury was the worst, I burnt my left arm at work. I was pulling
pies out of the oven, there was water on
the floor, I slipped, I threw the pies and the very very hot pan in the air, I
fell, the pies landed on my jeans and the
pan landed on my arm. Most of it was 2nd
degree burn but a little bit of it was 1st degree burn.

how'd you sprain your wrist playing soccer?
i twisted my knee in soccer and limped for like a month or two. that's it. god, my story looks sooo pathetic next to what everyone's been through.
oh yeah....and once when i was like a baby, i fell from the couch and landed on my head. the doctors said i'd have problems...but hey i turned out just fine! :confused:

I have broken my right collar bone three times, once in first grade then twice in 5th grade.
The first time i was riding a bike and I turned and went down this huge hill(it was huge at the time) and i feel into a ditch with HUGE boulders in it. I had a helmet on and if I didnt then I would be 6 feet under right now. I had to get 50 stiches in my face and I nit a chunk out of my lip but you cant even notice. You can hardly see the one scar.
The second time this girl accidently cartwheeled into me and broke it. This girl is now on my softball team. I have never been mad at her for injuring me-it's pretty funny now!
The third and final time(I Hope!!) I ran across some ice to try and slide on it like all the guys did when i was going to the bathroom from the portable and tripped and feel and broke it. This happened 8weeks after i broke it before and i had just got my cast off.
I fall almost everday and in the summer i am covered with band-aids. I think they wrote the "I am stuck and Band-Aid brand cause germs dont stick on me" song after me. I am very accident prone and my legs are always covered wiht bruses.
My sister gave me a black eye sunday. I called her a slut like 20 times and she hardly ever hits me but damn did that make a loud pop when her fist hit my face!
I have jammed and probally broke my middle finger twice each playing b-ball.
