people who do dumb things and end up breaking themselves!

So as some of you know, last Wednesday I was out having a.....joyous......evening. I don't recall a thing, although there is photographing evidence (see my avatar) that I took a spill- so I'm figuring that's how I injured myself.
I woke up Thursday morning and my foot was in excrutiating pain. I told myself I'd give it some nice R.I.C.E. care and if it was still sore the next day, i'd go to emerg.
Well Friday it was still killing me. So I waited 6 hours in the emergency room, got xrayed, and found out that although there was a lot of tissue damage- the foot wasn't broken.

WELL

Yesterday I got a call from a doctor at student health. She said she just received my xrays from the hospital and she noticed a line on my navicular bone (on the inside of the foot, right in front of the heel bone) that could either be a fracture or a bone marking, but my foot was too swollen in the xrays to tell.

So I had to get RE-xrayed yesterday.

AND IT'S BROKEN.

And I've been walking on it for a week. And it fuerdfiojlksdfjsdking kills but I thought i was just being a wuss.

So, moral of the story is, I get drunk and break myself. Fire at will.

I'd LOVE to know who else has done similar stunts!

Well, if it will make you feel better...
Last 4th of July, we were having a BBQ at a friend's apartment and I walked right into their glass patio doors. The really sad thing is I was stone-cold sober...

My wife dislocated her toe on a shopping cart that was open in the house

2 days later she did it again & "relocated" it & it no longer hurt & was fine

Top that one

Back when I was in 5th grade, I was on the playground with my friend who we nicknamed Flexy Lexi, because she was etremely petite and limber. She would climb up onto the monkey bars and back flip off of them, completely capable of landing on her feet.

Stupid, ungraceful me thought that I could do it. I climb up and jump off, but before I can even get my feet over my head, I fall like a stone and land on my neck.

Next thing you know, paralyzed from the collarbone down. I was lucky - all I did was freeze a tendon in my neck, so I was only unable to move for the better part of a week.

Stupid, stupid. I could have done something much more serious. Ulp.

I am sorry you broke yourself.
Although I will say that pic is still quite funny.

I am sure all this will only make you more popular on here though.

I have had misdiagnosed foot destruction as well, I HATE it. Blasted pain!

Judy, dear - I'll pass on the opportunity to make any comment whatsoever*, except to say I'm sorry for your pain, and hope you heal quickly.






*For now

DG, was my initial response too.
Holding back...

Posted: 9/14/06 at 6:35pm

sp - I just have a feeling that there might be SOME time in the future when it will seem appropriate to bring up this incident.

Posted: 9/14/06 at 6:37pm

haha oh I'm well aware of my transgressions, don't worry!

[DG]

Posted: 9/14/06 at 6:38pm

Well, Judy, you KNOW it's just easier for those of us who have never, NEVER done anything like that before in our lives.

NEVER!

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 9/14/06 at 6:41pm

Exactly DG,
We who are free from sin should feel free to cast stones all day.

There is no way anyone could find out otherwise right?

Posted: 9/14/06 at 6:44pm

I am curious about the 'friend' who seemed willing to document the 'moment in the spotlight' . . .

i've broken/bruised many bones. i'm accident prone i guess.

Posted: 9/14/06 at 6:45pm

Ugh, being the blind kid I've had this kind of stuff hapen COuNTLESS times...like jumping off the monkey bars after another kid nad misjudging the height and dislocating my shoulder. or burning myself by brushing my hand past an obviously-hot pan (did that twice in the past two months) or runnng into stuff. Just today, I ran into a pretty big low-hanging tree branch because it was on my left side and that's the eye that's blind. I've gotten used to seeing bruises everywhere and having no idea where they came from.

haha let's just say i'm surprised the photographer didn't break anything herself!

Mr. Roxy--what was a shopping cart doing in your house to begin with

Never been drunk, but I will tell you a story.

I was at music camp when I was in 9th grade, and while walking to lunch, I was talking to my friend and walked directly into a handicap parking sign, knocking myself out for a minute or two. Yeah . . . that went over well with my peers.

When I was younger, I really looked up to mystepsister and we went out one night - her on a bike, me on a scooter. So we got to a REALLY big hill and she told me she'd go down on her bike, but that I should walk down and meet her at the bottom. I thought I'd show off for her and tried to take the hill on my scooter. Halfway down, I realized I no longer had control of the thing. By the bottom, I had lost all control and was heading straight for a tree. As to not crash into said tree, I dived off the scooter and fell right on my arm, breaking it.

So yeah, that's what I get for trying to show off. I looked even stupider.

I slammed my finger on the door to my parents' bedroom when I was upset one night and ended up cutting the tip off, I also broke it. It was my left hand middle finger and I had a huge, incredibly phallic looking cast that I had to hold upright at all times so as not to screw up the stitches or something. I got plenty of wierd looks and comments.

At least you've yet to accidently pour boiling water on yourself...

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 9/14/06 at 7:31pm

it's such a good thing that drunk judy's so very far away...

with regard to the foot, though, getting an x-ray and then later finding out it's broken is really common. happened to me in 4th grade. happened to my father-in-law last month, too. damn little itty bitty bones down there.

A few years ago, my mom made corn as part of dinner. So, after dinner I was helping to clean up and washing the dishes and she pours the water into the sink that she cooked the corn in. Well, since she forgot to turn the stove off, the water was mighty hot and well...

Yea, there was my hand- burnt.

When my brother was little (7 maybe?) him and his friends were playing football outside. Next thing that we know was, my neigbor ran into the house screaming "David's in the tree!" My parents went outside and my brother, David, had ran into the tree.

He had to go to the hospital and get a bunch of stitches around his eye and nose and it was swollen and black and blue for a long time- gross looking!!!

yeah papa- my mom's a doc and told me the same thing over the phone, of course I didn't believe her because I refused to believe I could break my foot and not even notice till the next morning!

Right now I REFUSE to use crutches. I know I'm being stubborn but I just won't do it.
