Here are mine, add your too please.
- When I was about 6 I ran into a playhouse but I was just a bit too tall to get through the doorway and I cut my head open. Ouch.
- Playing rugby I collided with someone and was unconcious for a few seconds. I came round and was helped to the school medical room where they gave me 1 block of ice in a paper towel. I was bleeding all over the place aswell, it was sort of funny until I got concussion.
- Dislocated knee playing rugby. I got tackled around the legs in a rugby tournament in which we were pitted against players up to 4 years older than us. Did they show mercy? Did they heck! My knee was dislocated in a tackle and the coach had to snap it back in place.
- Shattered ring finger. Playing rugby at school I went into a challenge with my arms out to tackle someone but they hit my hand with such force that the bone between the first and second knuckles shattered into 3 pieces. I had to spend 3 days in hospital having a 2 hour operation and 2 metal screws are permenantly in my finger
- This is when I gave up rugby.
So add your injuries to this thread and we can laugh at each others misery, perhaps.
Age 4, did both hernias in a year
Age 7, broke my left shin, jumping from a climbing frame, spent my birthday in plaster (and my parents bought me a bike, how thoughtful)
Age 8, broke my left femur (the top part) spent christmas in hospital, got loads of presents and three pins in my leg, which have been removed now.
Age 18, dislocated my left shoulder, playing sunday league football, threw myself in for a tackle against my cousin (the defender on the opposite side) after being quite pumped up and scoring two. Didn't get the hat rick though, although I was named man of the match...
Loads of other illnesses, I'm on my third hospital volume...
I err, had to have a life saving operation when I was a baby baby (just born). I still go the scars hehe. Erm, I also got a scar on my lip from when a BOY (eurgh) bit through my lip. Yes, THROUGH my lip. We were playing football and both went up for the header. God only knows what he was trying to do to me. I also fractured my wrist. This lead to me missing a football final and a football tour which I forked out £250 to go on. BUT...I still went and enjoyed myself in the fine arcades of Belgium. :c)
