      Haven't had many serious injuries. I can't believe some of the things that have happened to the people on here.

      The one i remember the most though was when a kid, who was about 3 times bigger than me, ran into me in the playground and i went flying. Fortunately didn't break any bones but i did sprain my wrist.   

      Got a few grazes on my knees from when i was a nuisance as a kid as well. :D

      Hopefully things won't get much more serious than this in the future.

      Saw some kids doing somersaults by holding the stands of the swings in the park. I stupidly tried it out using my door ( one part wall and the other part sliding door). Succeeded the first time, did it again and suddenly blood started dripping. I needed stiches and have a 2 cm long scare above my nose, between my eyes. Thank God it didn't get one of my eyes. Still visible after 13 years and I feel like Harry Potter.

      Dislocated my elbow playing football when I was 14. From our corner, I was outside the box, the ball fell to me and I was about to start a counter attack. Striker slides from behind and I fell straightforward and felt the joint coming out. My arm was hanging when I got up. Physiotherapy hurt.

      Fell off a skateboard because I stupidly did it when it was raining. Fell on my right side and now I have scares on the right side of my right hand, probably a bruise on the right side of my head and hip.

      Forgot to mention that earlier this year whilst cleaning the apartment floor (mopping ) I slipped on the wet floor in my daughters room and fell onto the metal frame of her bed and broke two ribs !
      I think I ought to get a proper job and leave the housework to my wife instead of the other way around, what with the mopping and the Ironing !

      I nearly threw up when I saw Ayrton's injury.

      I'd still be crying 2 months later - that looks painful.

      When I was born, I had an impatherated (not sure how the hell you spell that) anus and as a result I had to have 3 operations. One was the day I was born, then one when I was 4 months old and then the next one was when I was 6 years old. As a result of these opertaions, I have had a Colostomy Bag since birth. Then at the age of 8, I got kidney stones and they cut me open and removed them. Then this summer I was in hopital for 8 weeks after I had a pelvic abssess. Was on a drip for 4 weeks and didn't eat in that time. Lost 3 stone as a result. Got a big feckin scar right down the middle of stomach and I have a drain in the side of my stomach (will have that in for at least another 6 weeks). Also, I am on these drugs called Warfarin cause when I was in hopital, I got 3 blood clots, two in my lungs and one in my leg. On the road to recovery now though. :)

      Jaysus, little dude. You've been through an awful lot. i hope you're staying strong and getting better.

      To be honest, it looks worse than it was. A lot of it was incisions made by the surgeon to pull the tendon and skin and sew it back together, as they cut off some dead skin too.

      The other finger looked much worse coming out of the machine, I honestly thought they were going to have to amputate it when I saw it. Totally crushed, after which it swelled up to over twice it's size, I'm lucky to have an excellent physio who helped me get both fingers back to normal.

      Bloody hell, didn't realise how deadly housework could be.  I'll keep me clothes on when doing the ironing in future I think.  And Ayrton, that looks nasty.  :-\

      Worst thing to happen to me was breaking my left wrist...playing tag rugby.  :-[  I was scoring a try though.  Always have to add that to avoid embarassment from breaking a bone in a non-physical version of rugby. :D

      Also broke my little finger on my left hand when I was goalkeeper.  These injuries happened during my school years and not once did I injure my writing hand.

      I've probably jinxed it now but I've never really had too much happen to me apart from grazing my knee a few times.
      Well it only took 18 days to Jinx it, I think I've either fractured or broken my collar bone.

      Small scar on forehead - 2 stitiches: As a baby in HK ran my head into the metal corner of one of those Chinese coffee tables (FYI most Chinese furniture have those metal corners on them...real safe when learning how to walk.)
      Right wrist broken: Back in NZ swinging from a rope in the forest behind my house.  The rope snapped at the apex of the upwards movement and I dropped 20 feet onto my wrist.
      Right hand - 8 stitches: from throwing a plank of wood at some kids who were picking on my friends back in NZ.  Plank riped my hand open, but the kids on the receiving end of said plank got the worst of it.
      Left forearm both ulna and radius bones snapped in center.  Small plates attached to both bones so two large scares: This happened during a school sports where myself and another kid were pushing each other on a running drill.  
      Left knee ACL torn: Rugby match at Uni.

      I go to my docs appointment in three hours but I decided to look at my results now (:f_whistle:). I can't really understand medical terms properly but I'm 95% sure it says fractured collar bone.

      Edit: Just got back it's a 'green stick fracture' apparently.

      When I was 2 I found a tangled barbwired in the park, my brother (who was 4) lifted me and a barb ripped my right arm, I have a 5.5 inches scar.

      When I was 8 an Argentine dog tried to bite me in my forehead but other dog present (actually his sister) took him by the neck and threw him to floor. He just sank one fang in my forehead, when I frown you can see the hole.

      This June I resisted to a mugging and the thief stabbed me in the back, the knife crash to my rib and didn't touch my lung.

      I've been pretty safe over the years apart from a few minor things, never broken any bones or anything.

      6: Hit by a car coming back from the ice-cream man, pretty lucky just a very big and dark bruise from my hip to just under my armpit.
      12: Bad kidney infection, in hospital for a week.
      16: Torn ligaments in my back
      2 months ago: Sprained wrist from, shall we say, a heated discussion after the pub!

      Pretty tame stuff compared to some of you here, you lot could audition for the lead in a movie adaptation of the Mr. Bump book!

      went to the doctors this morning, because I was convinced that I had genital Warts. Imagine my surprise when I dropped my pants for the doctor and a handful of Cocoa Pops fell to the floor.

      that will teach me for eating my breakfast naked :f_tongueincheek:

      Ffs what a thread,I could bore you for hours as a black belt Karate, rugby player, Iv'e had more injuries than I care to remember.But two stick in my mind.One was at Skelmersdale Leisure Centre, where I was an Instructor and a lady green belt kicked me hard in the nuts,felt that,the other was in a rugby game against Sefton RUFC, when in a scrum I was head butted, which resulted in a bag of blood above my eye, only for my own tight head prop to chew through in the next scrum to relieve the pressure.Made for an interesting scrum.

      Let's see.

      Right foot - cut open sole of foot on a broken shell while bounding down a huge sand dune barefoot at the beach.

      Right ankle - Tore ligaments in a few years ago. Was out running and missed a bottom step. Missed some work there.

      Right calf - 3" horizontal scar..was a deep one and probably should've got stitches. Piss drunk messing around and sliced it on that tin you use for shed roofing.
      Also, on right calf three long horizontal scars..mountain biking on frozen ground and the wheels slid out from under me.

      Left groin - Hernia op scar

      Right hand - Broken knuckle at ring finger. Waited a week to go to the doctor and it turns out I had completely snapped the end of the bone off and it had turned 180 degrees. So, the doctor sticks a long needle through my hand all around inside and at one point it even came all the way through. Then, he climbs above me and starts wrestling with this nub of bone turning it right way round. Yeah, it hurt. Don't have a knuckle anymore since it didn't heal straight. It's called a boxer's fracture. You figure it out.

      Also, on right hand scar in center of hand where I dove on the ground onto a broken bottle.
      Another smaller scar with its twin on the exact other half of my hand. Used to be a veterinary technician and was drawing blood from a cat's jugular. The tech helping me let go of the cat's head (which you sort of stretch out so he's looking up) and it sank its teeth right into my hand like a hamburger. The next day my hand resembled just that as it was cartoonishly swollen. Went to hospital for that.

      Right wrist - Broken in three places, no idea how. When I got x-rays for the knuckle the doctor told me that it looked like I had broken it within the past year or two. I knew I was tough, but c'mon!  ::)  I do remember that "sliding" pain with a broken bone where you feel like it's moving away from you. Tough to explain, but I remember the feeling while lifting weights.

      Right shoulder - Scar from bike accident..pushed into a wall and rubbed all the skin right off.

      Right trap - 3" roundish scar from somehow managing to rub the skin off while wearing a heavy rucksack.

      Left collarbone - Broken in half froma drunken bike accident. Tried to bunnyhop a curb at speed, but the front wheel caught it and I flipped it. As drunk as I was I felt the bone bending, but not the snap. Got up dazed and my buddy was convinced it was just dislocated. He starts pulling and pushing on my arm and my friends who were blocks away sewar they heard me screaming. The demerol was nice later on, though.  ;D  Still not right either as there's a big lump there because it didn't heal straight.

      Incisor - Broken in half when pushed into wall playing ball.

      Concussion - Hanging upside-down on monkey bars and fell right on my head from about 6' up.

      Scar top of head - At same park was being an idiot running at the swings and sliding under at the last moment. Well, the underside caught me and scalped me! Blood everywhere,

      Scar back of head - waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve (3 or 4 yrs old)...bouncing on my bed until I went over the side and cut my head open on an old radiator.

      Can't think of many more good ones...do tattoos count? After all they are all scar! Arms covered. Left calf & right chest some, too.

      EDIT: I forgot to mention to Semple that I hope he's getting better. What you've gone through is far worse than anything done to me.
