Injuries | Pad Patter 9.15

I just remembered another that my husband would say is the dumbest way haha I was running backwards, tripped, threw my arms back to catch myself, and sprained my dominant wrist. He will never let me live it down. Also, all three of these injuries were while playing basketball. It's probably good I don't play any more haha
 
worst one was, it was getting dark, I didn’t have the light on at the time, went to go out of my bedroom, tripped over god knows what now, tried saving myself by grabbing on to the door handle as I was going down but couldn’t save myself, went crashing into the corner of a kitset bookcase that ended up not surviving and I ended up in a heap on the floor.
Oh no!! That had to be painful!! And yeah, I trip over god knows what all the time...or nothing at all :giggle

I needed stitches once for turning on an epilator with the one hand while holding the cat with the other. I wanted to see what he'd do.
He exploded away from me and yep - stitches.
Ohhhh I'm sorry, but that did make me giggle just a little. But I'm sure there weren't many giggles at the time.

I have never been graceful and was ALWAYS injuring myself as a kid... one wasn't my fault though... I guess i was born with pretty bad eye sight and the tipping point that finally clued my mother in was when I was running in the backyard and ran smack into a tree! Ooops! :giggle

I'm contanstly bumping into things and ending up with bruises. Last week when I went grocery shopping, I came out of the store and was waiting to cross the "road" in the parking lot because a car was coming, she waved me on, so instead of walking and slowing her down, I thought I'd do a little jog to get out of her way as fast as I could and I kicked my shin bone into the cart I was pushing and I now have a lovely bruise to show for it. This type of thing happens to me a lot. Lol! I try to be nice and I get a bruise. Ha ha!

I broke my collar bone twice as a kid (once while being pulled in a wagon behind a riding lawnmower and once crashing into my sister on bikes at night) and broke my wrist in 7th grade when I was just walking down the hallway and a boy tripped me... caught my fall on my right hand and POOF my wrist was swollen in seconds and I fractured a bunch of those little bones in there. sigh. My parents got questioned at the ER because I broke so many bones in a couple of years. I didn't realize what the doctors thought and I just told them my crazy stories and they would laugh and say "you couldn't make that up" :giggle
Oh goodness!! You have had your share of injuries! I feel ya on the bruising thing. I am always bruised and couldn't tell ya where half of them come from lol.

Are you asking today, yesterday, recently, etc.....b/c I have an answer for all of that LOL. I am the clumsiest person you'll ever meet :)

I bump into things, I find bruises all over my body constantly but b/c I'm so used to being clumsy that I don't even think about it and then can't remember where I got the bruises from. I have to be extremely careful when I have my big camera, knowing I am so clumsy.

So, last wkend, I'm out with Bailey, walking through a flat, pebbled trail through the bird sanctuary. We're walking at a leisurely pace, chatting, strolling along and next thing you know, I'm falling to the ground, face first, my DSLR and huge lens are crashing to the ground. It felt like slow motion, I was able to lift my arm up to help protect the camera crash but then I lost the momentum and it came down. I winced as it hit the dirt. Bailey was horrified, standing there in shock, everyone was running towards me, concerned, to see me spread out face first in the dirt. I was worried about B's reaction b/c of her brain injury so I need to calm her fears down so I started to laugh hysterically, as I lifted my dirt, pebbled face off the ground and struggled to sit up. She finally started laughing with me and people just backed away like I was crazy and they didn't want to get too close. I must have trippled over a small rock or something but its a pretty smooth path so I don't know what the heck I did LOL. Luckily the camera and lens were ok, just a few little nicks on the camera body. Whew. We had to wipe me down b/c I was covered in dirt and had pebbles stuck in my cheek. What a day! But, when I told my daughter and hubs they just shook their heads, nodding, like yep....of course you would do this....happens all the time :)
Yep, I'm usually covered in those bruises and most of the time have no idea where they came from!
Glad the camera lens was ok, but bless your heart...omgosh, I'm glad you were able to laugh and calm Bailey's fears. Too funny that the people backed away. My family has the same reaction when I tell them my stories :giggle

This is a good thread lol my dumbest injury was self-inflicted. Two in one year, in fact. I kicked a bench and broke my toe, and soon after I punched a bench and broke my pinky finger. You'd think I would have learned my lesson from the toe!
I think you need to stop getting in fights with benches! :giggle

I just remembered another that my husband would say is the dumbest way haha I was running backwards, tripped, threw my arms back to catch myself, and sprained my dominant wrist. He will never let me live it down. Also, all three of these injuries were while playing basketball. It's probably good I don't play any more haha
Yep, I think if I were you I'd stay away from basketball :giggle

I have to say that I feel very at home with y'all. LOL #graceandspazunited
:compcoffee
 
I’m clumsy too. I walked straight into a step and fell flat on my face not realizing there was a step on the sidewalk going into the church. I was laying there in a dress and all sprawled out for everyone to see.

I’ve also hit my head getting into the passenger side of the car several times. I”ve also hit my head on the overhead compartment getting into my seat on the airplane more than once. I’m short so you wouldn’t think I’d have that problem but I do.

I’m always running into things. Stubbing my toes or hitting my knees. I end up with all kinds of random bruising that I can’t remember where I got them from. You’d think I was an MMA fighter or something with all the bruises I get. I’m such a ditz!
