okay
I've not had anything worse than some fractures and sprains
and I know this is about people in this forum
but
I just have to tell this story of this guy I met who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident
I've met a number of people who've lost legs that way - seems to be pretty common
this guy got his back though
some lady found it on the side of the freeway, wrapped it up and brought it to him
he was fully conscious, not experiencing any pain, but fairly certain he was going to die and he told her as much
she wouldn't let him though
the way he tells it is pretty funny, because he kept telling her to leave him alone, he was gonna die, and it was okay
she kept slapping his face, going "I got your leg and you're not dying on my shift, buster"

That's fantastic! A fellow schoolbus driver cut off his arm with a chainsaw, picked up the arm and carried it to his house, where his 8 year old cub scout applied a tourniquet and saved his life! The PMT that took him to the hospital said the same thing... "not on my watch!"

it's amazing that they can re-attach entire limbs now

Yes, my friend has use of his arm now. He is missing the little bone in the lower arm (radius) and only has his ulna. This interferes with the ability to rotate the lower arm, so he is somewhat impaired... but what a better result than being an amputee or being deceased!!!

My worst injury is must less dramatic...... When I was a toddler I pulled a pan of hot fat off the cooker and onto my head and face.

I spent a couple of weeks in the eye hospital, but fortunately my eyesight was not permanently damaged. However, every day since then has been a "bad hair day"!!

Which is why I shave my head now, I got fed up of all the holes in my mullet!

my worst injury...
i took trampolining lessons about 5yrs ago at college. at the time i was learning to do a somersault. my foot slipped as i set off and i bounced quite high but only made it half way round, resulting in me landing on my face. as it lowered to the end of its working travel i felt my calfs touch my head and they staied there untill the trampoline came back up and to a stop. i never knew my body was so flexable. i still get a bad back and i am unable to do much lifting...

I've had a leg and arm fracture, both of them pretty complicated. The first one was by playing football... the stone didn't move in the end. And the second one was by skate boarding.

The stupidest and yet worst injury was in my neck. We where doing some small gym exercises at school and I landed on my 2 feet. The shock went all the way from my feet and stopped at my neck between 2 vertebra. Couldn't move my neck as it was dislocated. It's still not ok at this point, after recovery they saw that my vertebra are now flattened. Which is why I may not do some things... mostly sports. After that I had 2 more dislocations. 1 was from diving into the pool from a big diving board ( go figure ). Well, all in all it does not bother me most of the time and I still can do most of the things

my worst....skating with my kids, fell and broke my tailbone... I had a herniated disk in my back...this fall also blew out more disk material and it wrapped around the nerve running my left leg and various other organs...the disk material then started to calcify (turn to bone). I had to have surgery, worst pain in my life!!! the surgery fixed me up fine, but have some residual numbness and all in my left leg. I missed 3 months of work....I have been banned from skating now by my wife (also banned from picking up stuff from off the side of the road - thats another funny story!!)
here's that story....
My brother was visiting and we walked to the local store. on the way back I found a bass guitar laying on the parking strip near my apt. the body was broken around the connections for the amplifier. the rest was in ok condition. I picked it up and brought it home. the next night we had another friend over and saw breaking news on the tv. there was a man killed a block from where I lived. he was beaten to death (see where this is going?? LOL). there wasn't much info at that time. My wife was a dispatcher for the sheriff's office. I am an animal control officer for the county. she heard they caught the guy. he confessed and said he beat the guy to death with his own bass guitar because he didn't like how much he was being charged for a bag of marijuana....so he beat him to death.....
well, i was working a late shift and she called the city detectives on the case. they verified he was caught and confessed, but they didn't have the murder weapon. she asked if they wanted it...lol!! I met with the detectives and turned over the murder guitar... funny thing is htere was no blood on it..just a chunk of the body broken off...the guy got 27 years in prison and I got banned from picking things up off the road unless is was for work.

Good story Don! It's not every day you get to play "Smoke on the water", on a murder weapon!
