The most severe injury you've received?
What is the most severe injury you've received in your life?
Mine happened when I was a toddler, something or other ripped through the lower part of my mouth and my mother had to sew it up. Now I have two nifty lil' scars on my bottom lip :D
What severe physical (or even mental) injuries have you attained in your life! I'd really love to know!

Probably a torn acl.

I lost three legs in 'Nam... [spoiler]Car crash. I got my forehead and brow sliced open. It caused permanent scarring, though most of it is covered by my eyebrow, fortunately. [/spoiler]

Slipped playing tag when I was 6 and got a rock through my right hand (as in, all the way through, middle of my palm) or compressed my right heel-bone 3cm (yes, that's an accurate number) skiing. Doc said that one should have shattered my ankle, at the very least, but hooray for good boots and super-dense bones :D

When I was 8 I sliced my thumb to the bone and got FOUR stitches. That is physical. I'm diagnosed with add and some crazy word that means bat-shit crazy

1 ReplyI cut my head on a radiator when I was little, but because it was so hot it cauterised the wound :D (No scar) I also tore my chin open, had it stitched up and on the day the stitches came out and I went back into school... I slipped on the ice and tore it open again. I have a nice scar on my chin from that one.

I was sixteen used to ride BMX with my friends. We were having a height contest on one of the jumps and it was my turn to go I was riding around the berm, hit the takeoff then blacked out in midair. Woke up about a minute later on the ground, tried to get up but couldn't move my right arm, friends helped me up called my mom, went to the hospital got X-rayed. Had to wait a week until surgery.

I had a dog bite me on the cheek when I was a little kid, stuck my face where it didn't belong. I don't remember much about it, but I haven't had any injuries that I would consider that serious, just a lot of mild ones.

Once when I was about two or three years old I was standing up on the living room couch, and fell onto the table in front. The skin above my right eye split a bit. My mother taped it together, and I have a small scar in the middle of my eyebrow now. When was eleven or twelve I slipped and sled down a set of stairs, and received some slight blunt force trauma to my tailbone. I had difficulties walking for a couple of weeks. A few years ago I twisted my ankle in an accident during a badminton training match. I've also had a metal bar inserted behind my ribcage in a surgery, but that wouldn't count as an injury.

Iron spiked railing to the neck when I was real drunk at Uni. Best (worst?) part is I was so drunk that I went home to bed, rather than the hospital, and woke up with no recollection of having injured myself so didn't understand why I was covered in blood.

Second severe injury. *WARNING: GORE AND UNPLEASANT IMAGES AHEAD; READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* I was about 11at the time. It was a hot summer day, +28 degrees Celsius. Me and a couple of friends decide to swim in a nearby lake. My friends walk into the water and then swim away. I get undressed and start walking into the water. The lakebed consists of large oval stones. I keep walking and then suddenly feel extreme pain in my left heel. I look down and notice a lot of blood around my left foot. I lift it out of the water to get a loot and see a long piece of glass sticking out of my heel. I immediately pull it out (there was about 3cm of glass in my heel). I'm bleeding like crazy. My friends are swimming and then notice me on the shore staring at my foot. One of them swims ashore and sees what happened. By pure luck, he had some band aids in his backpack. The next day my doctor confirmed that there was no glass left in my heel. I could not stomp or land hard on my left foot for the next 2 years because I could still feel pain in it.

I was doing a trick while skateboarding and fell tearing my meniscus almost in half ( literally the cat scan showed it almost gone) and I had to get surgery to fix it. The worst part though was the recovery when my knee was swollen and the doctor had to push a huge syringe into the center of my knee and drain almost a liters if blood and puss from my knee
