General Discussion

Worst Injury/Sickness ever? Got meningitis as a premature baby and was expected to die. But I didn't.

Dumbest Worst Injury/Sickness ever? Accidentally burned my finger while observing a garter snake. Despite my best efforts it is now infected (still ongoing). Then right afterwards I got stung by a honeybee. All the while trying to recover from an extremely painful menstrual cycle.

Worst injury: Probably when my knee was fractured.

Worst sickness: I'm a Leukemia survivor, so if I had something worse than that, I can't think of it. I went right from being diagnosed to spending just over six months in the hospital, then a couple more years in and out for treatments and procedures before finally going into remission, and even then I still have some long term side effects (compromised immune system, the nerves in my limbs don't work like they should, loss of most of my hearing, etc.).

Worst injury I've ever had was probably a spiral fracture on my tibia. It was a stable fracture, fortunately, but I still limp a little bit when I walk. My whole left leg just attracts injury, it seems.

@Requacy I hope that your finger gets better soon. :( That sounds really painful.

@Brenning That's horrible. I'm sorry you went through that.

The worst injury I've had, is scraping off the entirety of my knee off. Twice. As a kid I was playing this sort of game me and my two best friends at the time had made up. We would hold hands and spin as fast as humanly possible. Yeah it didn't end well. I got thrown really fast onto the asphalt. My whole knee was blood red and it honestly was super painful. My friends blamed me for being too weak and letting go, which made me feel worse.

Once my knee was 'healed', which was a few grueling months later, me and my friends do it again. With my knee still hurting to bend because it would break the huge scab, me and my friends thought it was an amazing idea to do it again! (since it was just, so fun last time.) So we did, and I scraped the entirety of my other knee off because I was flung at the asphalt. My mother was. Not pleased.

I still have some amounts of pain when I try to bend my knee too hard. And yes, I have some eternally scarred, or bumpy skin that will never fully heal on both of my knees. I still shudder about it to this day. I never really wanted to play next to the asphalt again. Which my friends thought was preposterous considering most of the games we played were on it.

The worst sickness I've had is either walking pneumonia or having the flu and strep at the same time. It was terrible and I couldn't even do anything besides cough and then feel terrible after coughing because my throat felt so bad, or just watch a video on my phone sometimes to try and help distract myself.

I've had numerous encounters of the flu and strep, too many to count. Everyone at my doctors office knew me. They even said to me as they saw me; "Oh, poor Orielion is back! So soon after last time?" They would make a frown and tell me "Get better soon." Moral of the story, just don't get sick with the flu and strep at the same time. I'm pretty sure I counted as a 'regular' in that office. Which is honestly pretty sad if you think about it.

I broke my arm once, apparently if it had been a straight break they would have had to do some kind of surgery on it. And another time, I almost cut the pad of my right pinkie finger clean off because I tried to lift the metal lid off a can of beans. There is a lumpy scar there now that I refer to as "the bean scar."

And another time I almost shot a hole in my foot, but that doesn't count since it didn't actually happen.

oh man, probably when i got thrown off a horse i was working on and fractured my tailbone.

the fall itself wasnt that bad, my least dramatic fall out of all of them, the horse took a hard right and i kept going straight lmao. i landed flat on my ***, on solid ground, and couldnt move or feel my legs for about five minutes. (the poor horse stood next to me while i was down, and she stared at me like "how'd you get down there?")

when i finally got back up and back on i was like 'ooooh no, somethings not right here', i couldnt put weight on my seat at all, and needed help getting off the horse after.

it hurt H e l l a bad, but i didnt realize how bad until after i had finished work that day(still had to finish my lesson and close up the barn after), and i woke up the next morning unable to get out of bed. ;w; everything hurt, breathing, coughing, the slightest little muscle twitch.

i probably should have gotten it checked out instead of sleeping it off cause four(ish) years later i still walk funny when it gets cold :-)

Worst injury? hmmm i barly get hurt, its mostly just cat scratches... But one time,

I was playing tag with my friends when I was little(about 7-8), we were on the sidewalk/lawns of a quiet street. I was it, so i chased my friends about. The sidewalk wasn't in a nice condition, cracked, chipped, moss growing on it, and it was uneven. I guess a bit of the sidewalk broke enough to raise higher than the rest of the sidewalk or something, because i tripped and fell over. I got big, painful scrapes on both my elbows, one on the knee, and on the nose. I cried. and I had to skip school the next day. it hurt, and it took a few years to convince me back into playing tag.

I broke two bones in my wrist a few years ago. It wasn't pleasant. Oh and my sister left a binder open on the floor and I stepped on it... it was very bloody and I still have a scar
