The return of Friday Night Fun About This Page:

[JaimeandChad]

Since it's Friday, I thought I would ask a "fun" question.

Today, I had something in the corner of my eye and somehow while trying to get it out I punched myself and gave myself a black eye. After everyone stops laughing (it's ok I laughed for like an hour...) it brings me to my question.

What's the strangest way you've ever injured yourself?

[JaimeandChad]

That was not the best however, three days before my wedding I tripped. And I broke three toes and limped down the aisle

[lukeandbrookesmom]

I broke my humorus once. I left my purse on the seat of my car, realized it as the door was closing, and stuck my arm in after it Why? I don't know because the car keys were in my other hand and I could have unlocked the door and gotten it

I've tripped up the stairs, twice. Pulled a muscle in my rear end last week, too. Can't say for certain how that one happened.

I slammed my finger in the car door. Best I can figure out something was falling out and I tried to catch it. Ended up in the Dr's office having to have it exrayed and stitched up. The best part was explaining how you slam your own finger in the car door.

Chrissi, I fall up the stairs weekly - you'd think by now, I'd have gotten the hang of it. Once I was running up bleachers in a gym full of people, tripped, tried to play it off by not stopping running, and tripped again. Embarrassing.

I'm injury prone - I threw out my neck and had to have physical therapy for 10 weeks just by sleeping wrong. Funniest would probably the the time that I was salting Fritos (I know, like Fritos need more salt - I was a teenager and dumb) and salt bounced off the chips and into my eye. I couldn't see a thing and grabbed what I thought was my glass, with water, to rinse it out, but it was my sister's glass, with orange juice. Yes, that's right - I used orange juice to rinse salt out of my eye. It's a miracle I can still see.

Mine would have to be when I helped DD move down to Arizona two years ago. We drove straight through to Amarillo, Texas from Minneapolis the first day. We ended up at a Days Inn. If you have ever stayed at a Days Inn before, the hotel places a desk (not a nice low nightstand) between the two beds in the room. Well I was really tired after that long drive. In the middle of the night, I woke up and wanted to see what time it was by looking at the clock on the desk. Well, I rolled too close to it, and caught my eye on the edge of the desk as I was sitting up! I have to say, that hurt a lot! By the time I got up in the morning, I had a lovely shiner around my eye.

We then drove from Amarillo to Phoenix and headed for my aunt and uncle's house. They have two weiner dogs who are not socialized at all. The second my uncle opened the door, the dogs ran out and one sunk his teeth into my knee! By the next day it was swollen and infected, so I had to go to urgent care. Because it was a dog bite, the urgent care had to report it to the Maricopa County animal control. They consequently made a home visit to my aunt and uncle and told them that they would have to quarantine the dog for a week. Needless to say, my aunt and uncle were not happy about that. They could have cared less about the bite to my leg, however. So animal control took the dog for a week, and they both quit talking to me-forgetting that it was their dog that bit me in the first place and caused a nasty infection! That was my vacation from #@%&*

In high school, I threw out my knee running from first base to second base. . . almost exactly to the day, two years in a row! And just last week, I pulled a quad muscle in my leg sliding during my approach when I was bowling. My sister tore her MCL in her knee when she tripped over the half court line during a basketball game.

I knocked myself out of my mini-van. I was trying to hang my uniform up in the back and when I stepped up to do it (in a hurry, of course) I did not duck fast enough and cracked my head on the door frame. I fell backwards and landed on my backside in the driveway, uniform strewn about everywhere, kids laughing at mommy being silly. All the while I'm sitting there trying to figure out how I got on the ground ...I had a headached for about 3 days, but no concussion (I went to the ER the day after.)

Lesson learned: duck faster.

when I put my foot on the closed toliet lid, I banged my foot on the bathroom cabinet. I went to the doctor for x-rays, broke 2 toes. Try and explain that on an insurance form!

I had been skiing with my girlfriend all morning - we created a little jump between the two trees. Around noon we went in to have lunch. When we went back, we hit the jump blindly... not realizing that others may have used it and changed it. My friend...? She hit the jump beautifully, spread eagle, soft landing. Nice. I hit the jump, good air, spread eagle,,, came down and... well, who knows... all I can tell you is that I hit so hard that I broke my binding on the outside of my thigh. I had a bruise so deep and big it was literally black, and about the size of a boot print. My leg was so numb that I continued to ski for the rest of the afternoon - on the bunny hill... with one ski!!!

I would say I'm sorry that I have chuckled through all these replies, but I can't. I'm thankful for you guys and how normal you have just made me feel. I could write for days about the silly accidents I have caused myself. But just one in particular is the time playing volleyball when I when up for a hit and instead fell down in pain because I had sliced my gum wide open with a fingernail, which wasn't even long. I was rushed to the ER as there was a huge flap of gum just hanging there, right under my upper lip. I can't even remember now what they did for it, but I talked funny for days and had a really hard time eating.

When I was pregnant with my oldest DD I had violent morning sickness (really all day sickness) lost 10% of my body weight and was almost hospitalized before it passed. Anyway I was going to be sick and I ran to the bathroom flipped up the seat (a really heavy old wooden one) and leaned over and the seat bounced off the toilet and hit me in the face and probably broke my nose. I say probably because I didn't go to the hospital since I didn't want X-rays while I was pregnant but I had a cut on my nose and two blacks eyes

Clowning around with the boys when they were younger, I pretended to fall out of bed and slammed my knee into the corner of the bureau. Had trouble walking for 2 days.

The first thing that came to mind happened last Monday night - missed the last step and severely sprained my ankle. Even the doctor said "so it says you missed the last step....you what?"
