Thought for a laugh i would start a new thread for all of us out there who have done something stupid and ended up with a big injury.
Short story of what happened and a pic/xray etc. of the injury.
Ill get us started......
Last year in Thailand on a boys trip I dove into a swimming pool with my hands by my sides showing off. Problem was the pool was only 1m deep and this was the result.
17 stitches and 2 broken vertebrae.
All good now!!!!:lol:

OUCH!!!!! That'll make you see stars.:_paranoid
I have a scar on my left inner elbow. I fell off a fence when I was younger, so of like tight rope walking. The fence was installed upside down so, the bottom part of the fence with the barbs was the part I was walking on.
Well, I lost my balance and fell off. I looked at my arm really quick, didn't see anything or feel anything. I did a double take and looked at it again, and HOLY CRAP!!!:wow: :willy: I had a gash about an inch or more wide. Could see my flesh, clear as day, all white. Bleeding pretty bad after that. Get rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and sitting in the emergency room, I had to wait for the surgeon to finish up an emergency surgery on someone before he could stitch me up. (The regular ER doctor could not do it after he looked at it.)
Ended up with 20 stitches outside and 8 stitches inside. I will post a pic when I take one.

I think you should focus on building that car, surely you would be safer doing that!!!!! Rap yourself in bubble rap and no powertools!!!
250 stitches that is insane, but the shot in the back, thats ridiculous!!

I can't compare to some of those stitch counts because I'm probably under 100 total for all my injuries
Stitches and Scars
I had one eyelid 90% ripped off, one nostril got separated from my face, bottom lip about 25% taken off, (all different incedents and no really noticable scars), almost lopped off same index finger twice (scars all the way around that one), bottom of foot was completely ripped open once, and another time on a whitewater rafting trip I had a root go through the bottom of my foot and come out the back of my heel (wasn't fun pulling my foot back off of that, but I still went rafting before driving home 6 hours to the hospital the next day), and various small scar from some minor day surgeries.
Breaks
broken collar bone (still finished playing the football game after that one. I just couldn't catch the ball anymore after that. I could only take handoffs), around a half dozen various ribs (really sucks when they keep hitting your diaphram and sending it into spasms), broken forearm, busted wrist, shattered right hand, broken left hand, fractured shin, fractured ankle, broken foot, and too many broken fingers to count (not too good at making fists anymore)
I think I got them all. Besides that stuff, just the normal twists, sprains, and tears. still debating on cancelling my July surgery to fix my 4 year old torn rotator cuff and remove bone spurs
If you ain't been broken, you ain't been livin!!:beavis:
tears. still debating on cancelling my July surgery to fix my 4 year old torn rotator cuff and remove bone spurs
If you ain't been broken, you ain't been livin!!:beavis:
I have had a total of 4 shoulder repairs done now. The latest being Jan 5th of this year on my left side. Torn Labrum (sp?). Bone spur and some bicep tendon issues. I JUST tore out the repair less than two weeks ago and have no idea exactly how I did it.
My point is that if you have it done be VERY careful afterward. My right shoulder has been done 3 times (last was Oct of '08) I have torn the repairs out of that on as well. I see the surgeon tomorrow again to discuss my next trip to his table.:faint:

the zig zag scras is where they opened up to pull the tendons together

I actually managed to get hurt WATCHING darts....it's way past stupid, and well into comical.

I got runt over by a Jeep wilst riding back from a workout 20 years ago. Total non union compound fracture of the left Tib/Fib. Very Ugly. Looks like the surgery was preformed by Ray Charles, however. It was a save it or cut it off proposition. Two years in the Hospital and I still can predict the weather better than the best Metorologist in the South.
I'd post a picture, but I'd win hands down.

Getting beat up sucks, and healing is just about as bad.
I've had a Shoulder Reconstruction, 2 shoulder replacements, a severed Rotator cuff (At least you know where my extra achilles tendon is):unibrow:
A reconstructed Knee, 2 layer back fusion, a discectomy, another fusion, and apendectomy, I go in tomorrow for a milagram on my lower back, bit through my tougue, split the bridge of my nose open, managed to almost lose a toes when a glass table broke. (Hunk of glass came down on it) Left check has be sewn up. I had a Brain Injury to my left Frontal Lobe. Spent 2 years learning how to drive and talk again. Still have a hard time remembering stuff.
Other than that it's been pretty easy.:rofl:
In all seriousness the Brain Injury was Terrible.
How do you guys that have been busted up work on you cars? I can do smaller things, but bending over, lifting stuff, or working hand tools esspecially at weird angles is a bitch.

Now you "see" why I really thought long and hard about posting up that one.... it's pretty gross.
I had a "colon resection" that went bad... the first time around they did the little pokey tools thing - but I was bleeding out internally - blood loss was so great I coded out... long story - but days later and lots of blood transfusions - they gutted me like a fish. LOL
Fine now - and you can't even see the scar. Of course this picture - self taken (my wife wouldn't do it) - is with a shaved belly and I had to bend backwards to get the camera angle which makes the picture really nasty.... but it was a bad "scar"...

It was a double edged sword -- two surgeries in one month - and the huge loss of blood... AND not being able to EAT ANYTHING for about 3 weeks... I was so weak I could hardly get out of a chair and then shuffled around like a 100 year old man for a month.
Red blood is a very important "issue"... I had 10 transfusions... or whatever you call 'em... Eating is also kind of important. I wasn't allowed to.

My lasted issue is ultra low body temp (seem to be stuck at 95 degrees ) they have stabbed me more times then i care to talk about lately. The crappy part is that when i am out on my night rides my temp dips to 92-93 which is not so good.

HOLY SH*T THIS HURT! I just pulled this smooth move 30 min ago out in my shop. I had one last project to wrap up my wife's Camaro for a show tomorrow. I was using a battery drill to drive a screw in, the drill slipped and the phillips bit went through my nail and tore it off. I didn't realize at first that the nail was gone since it was so bloody. I just thought I smashed th crap out of it. I found my nail on my drill stuck to the bit.
Beth wanted me to go to the hospital. So I googled it! Which said to go to the hospital. I called the hospital and they said there was nothing they could do. They just suggested keeping it clean, covered and watch for infection. They said it should grow back.

HOLY SH*T THIS HURT! I just pulled this smooth move 30 min ago out in my shop. I had one last project to wrap up my wife's Camaro for a show tomorrow. I was using a battery drill to drive a screw in, the drill slipped and the phillips bit went through my nail and tore it off. I didn't realize at first that the nail was gone since it was so bloody.

Hmmmm that may help with the pain, but let's face it I'm already short a few brain cells. :D

I had that happen to me as well. Not as severe as that though. I dropped 10 lbs. on my thumbnail after working out one time and I immediately almost starting crying! The pain was so bad. I eventually lost that nail and it grew back. Yours looks like it hurt much more.:willy: :faint:

At the time when this thread was alive I didn't have a scar. But, I remembered it and now I do. I had knee and hernia surgery. The knee scope was only 3 little incisions, but here's my belly button scar and it's new look or reconstruction so to speak. It's small compared to some of y'alls, but it sure hurts like hell.

Yeah, that doesn't look like fun.:_paranoid
At least they didn't have to cut you open. Get well soon.
