worst injury?

[drache]

it sounds like it could have been worse for you

I was once hit by an 18-wheeler and the Renault Le Car I was in was history
that tractor trailer hit the car right where I was sitting and I walked away with a bunch of glass in my scalp and forehead (where I'd gone through the window)
I had a friend pick out the glass and clean it up and I ended up having little grains of glass turn up under my skin for years after

I seem to have a propensity for having run-ins with large vehicles
such as: me on a kick scooter - guy in an SUV

I am extremely fortunate to be in no worse shape than I am

I heard about this one guy who got in a car accident, and glass when in his skull. And to this day the body works the glass out of his head which his barber usually finds. They were big chunks too.

Fell down a hay chute in the barn when I was 5, fractured my skull. Walked out of the barn (was as dizzy as I have ever been... sober) sat down and woke up 2 days later. No ill effects..... that I am aware of.

when I was a kid I'd be barefoot a lot and my soles had hard callouses that you could tap on
one evening I was trying to elude my parents' guests' kids in the barn and jumped down a bale drop
it wasn't a far drop and I could dangle from a beam and drop the rest
I felt something pinch at the base of my left big toe as I dropped, but I was on the move and just kept going
later when I came home and made my obligatory appearance with the adults to say good night, this aunt let out a scream, pointing to my bloody foot prints on the tile floor
I guess I'd landed on a knife that someone had dropped and the cut had gone to the bone right by the joint
of course I'd been oblivious and kept running around with it, spreading the cut and packing is with all sorts of dirt

[enigma200316]

thats kool, you learn new stuff every day......

[drache]

you know
I had some medical training
that's where you learn to talk about stuff most people think of as totally gross while chowing down on food with no apparent decrease in appreciation
I remember having study groups with friends at cafes where people near us were fleeing the vicinity, plates in hand, while giving us dirty looks
Chinese medicine goes on in great detail about the appearance of various exudates and body fluids . . .
