Old_Joe Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 This one's not for the squeamish: When I was in the 5th or 6th grade, I once fell out of a tree trying to get onto a tire swing so I could show off my tire swinging techniques to my sister. I wedged to tire in the crook of tree, sit on it, and then push myself off which would cause me to swing around the tree. This time I was trying to get on the tire swing when a piece of bark slipped underneath my foot. When I landed on the ground, I had blacked out for a second, and was in some serious pain. my sister came down and discovered that I had cut my side open. My mom had to drive me to the hospital. When we got there I had to check in with the front desk. I'm like, "Mom can't you do this? I'm dying here!" Anyhoo, turns out I had torn my side open right down to the ribcage. They gave me local painkillers. I could feel the doctors fingers getting under my skin literally. I could see the same thing in the reflection in his glasses. I ended up having to get 22 stitches, 12 inside and 10 outside. We thought that maybe a small branch had sliced open my side. Instead, my flesh literally tore open.

Apparently, I didn't back up enough because when I did finally sneeze, I banged my head on the table.
Noel's angel Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 lovely..... my dad was in a bomb and an electric cable snapped and fell on his back. His ear was also partially ripped off and he had a huge hole blown through his cheek
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Gross and gross. Once I had oral surgery and they used a little electro-thingy to cauterize (sp?) the flesh so it wouldn't bleed and I could taste my flesh burning. It was disgusting. I have 2 sisters in law who have gotten broken legs from having a sibling jump out of a tree and land on them...

Theoketos Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 One time I was ran over by a moped in Rome (This Thread and all of Open Mic seems a little like the LAME board shhh)

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Once when I was driving some punk kid threw a rock at our car and left a tiny dent and scratches on it. (Yeah, I actually did notice that there were alot of lame-ish posts and polls, especially in the past couple days. This is at least slightly less lame than the million Stoopidhead threads, you have to admit that! : )

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 When we were little there was a poor cat that had been hit by a car so its back legs were paralized (sp?), and my mom fed it a hot dog because she felt sorry for it, so it stuck around for a little while. It scared us half to death, though, and it would follow us around and we would run away from it. I still remember how scared I was of that cat....
