Today was the first time i got workers comp. I got the
whole afternoon to sit at home and put ice on my head
wondering how much money I could have sued and gotten for a
throbbing bump on my head.

It happened while dropping a box onto a dolly cart, here is
a dramatization of what took place today:

(turns out the man portraying me is black, not that I care,
he did an excellent job of recreating the situation.)

Imagine stepping on rake and having it hit you in the face,
only now imagine the rake is made of metal and you dropped a
75lb box onto it.

i used to work in a warehouse at a sears.

one time when i was in a hurry to grab a little tv off the
top shelf, it slipped out of my hands, and fell onto my head
screen first. it was in a box, but that didn't pad things
much.

it nearly knocked me out, but i didn't fall somehow. that
was pretty awesome.

This happened to me when I was 11. I've indicated the
location of me by the use of the "me" word and an arrow.
Observant members will notice that the bus is missing a
door. This is due to lack of being arsed. Please don't write

I dont have any recent injuries nor do i have pictures of
the ones i sustained.

But there was one that would be good on video:

Throughout the night (my 22nd birthday) i was flirting with
this chick. She took my hat and was being sassy (for lack of
a better term). I was trying to get it back all night while
progressively getting shit faced. At bar close we were
standing at the top of a flight of stairs. I was kissing her
and whatever and then i noticed the hat in her left hand.

It appeared she didnt have a firm grip on it so i stopped
and said "guess what" i immediately grabbed the hat and
jumped for the top of the stairs, hat in hand.

I was looking towards the landing area to try to brace
myself for impact. I landed awkwardly. and ended in a
sitting position. what i didnt know was that she was pulled
behind me my the force or loss of balence and she landed on
top of me folding my body in half.

The impact of a girl flying down a flight of stairs, folding
you up.... is something that needs to be seen and
experienced. I layed there for 2-3 minutes pretending to be
unconcious (drunk) and then i flew up with mild pain and
said "WE'RE GOING TO (insert mexican restruant here)"

To which we did. I was sore and hurting for a week or two
after that. I remember being worried in the morning that i
was injured.

When I was 9 or 10 or so I was hit by a van that didn't stop
at a red light. I sort of jumped aside but it caught my leg
in an awkward manner and snapped the thing to pieces,
massive compound (bones jutting out) fracture of my tibia
and fibula. It was totally disgusting and looked like my leg
exploded. They fixed it up, God knows how, and it was
quickly 101%, 'cept for a nasty scar (not as bad as it used
to be). I still don't know how they do it, because the thing
looked like shredded mincemeat, I was sure when I woke up in
the hospital and looked down that it wouldn't be there.

Whenever I think of this injury, or see or hear about other
broken legs, I can't even put any weight on my left leg,
heh... it's all in the head. Andbody else experience this
kind of phantom weakness?

Random gross looking scar...

That's the hole my tibia was poking out of! Fresh! It's till
hyper sensitive, I'll flinch when I touch it. The skin is
still fucked up irreparably a decade later.

i might reading this wrong from the head injury, but i'm
pretty sure everything in this thread so far has actually
happened. I forgot to explain that dropping the 75-80lb box
on the dolly caused the dolly to swing up and into my
forehead, and we all know how effective the physics are when
it comes to levers. Especially when something as low
friction as wheels are involved.

''it's funny to see fat coming out of your arm.''

Ew. What color is it? Was it thick like molasses, or kind of
liquidy?

somebody glued a magazine cut out of that mouse to my locker
in 7th grade.

anyways, on to injuries! i am daydreamy/clumsy at best,
moronic at worst, so i have a couple of awful stories to
tell.

in 5th grade, i was running through the woods playing with
my little brother, and a twig got in my ear and punctured my
ear drum and broke my "stirrup" bone. i have had 2 ear
surgeries since, one in 7th grade and the other in 11th or
12th grade (the damn titanium prosthetic doesn't stay put,
what can i say?).

also in 7th grade, i broke two bones in my arm in a TRACK
MEET. i know, you're thinking, how the hell did she do
that? i was running hurdles and i landed with my feet wrong
and fell down, ok!

and erm...about 2 or 3 years ago i accidentally shot myself
in the finger with a bebe gun loaded with a lead pellet. i
had to have hand surgery to get it out.
yeah...unfortunately i'm serious.

and then i cut my thumb on my other hand trying to open a
box of records. (i am on a first name basis at the ER; my
life is basically like a rerun of home improvement). you
could see the bone before i got my stitches! here is a
photograph. i suck!

oh oh, i forgot the best/worst part: the lead pellet
incident was about 2 weeks before i was due to have my
second ear surgery, so i had SIMULTANEOUS ear/hand surgery.

Sick! Look at the compression artifacts on that jpeg!

A lot of our injuries have been gross, but lots of fun in
hindsight. But damn, the ear thing sounds horrific. Was your
hearing depleted?

Points: 5721 Status: Regular



yeah, it was pretty awful in the one ear for a while, but
when i had the first surgery it was almost back to
normal...then it got worse again, but then i had the next
surgery and it's still fine. a bit rattley from the scar
tissue, but that's to be expected apparantly. atleast it's
not like having a set of headphones with only one side
working anymore!

One day in 2nd grade I was on the monkey bars. it was early
spring, the children frolicked about in mud puddles, dancing
and chasing eachother like the gay faggots they all are.
Anyway's I used my jacket as a sort of way to suspend myself
in the airt without grabbing the bar. However things went
terribly wrong. The way I was possitioned didn't allow me
to grab back onto the bar (don't ask me how i did this, i
could not explain) and I began to flail about undoing the
contraption I had set up. I then slipped out of my jacket
and fell down, hitting my head on every bar on the way down
(roughly 8 bars). I landed in a strangely red mud puddle,
two girls giggled at me. My friend mentioned I was
bleeding, I put my hand on the back of my head to find that
I had probably lost about 1/4 of the blood in my body; the
puddle was filling with my own blood. Head wounds bleed a
lot, I can still feel the scar.

that was longer than i thought it was going to be...?

I haven't had any serious injury, maybe just a really small
scar in one hand, but no broken bones, never been in the
hospital (for surgery or something like that)...

I'm scared, one of these days my friends will take me to the
nearest hospital for something serious... I just can feel
it! :(

On a more serious note: My headbump is still there, hower
there is a area about 3 inches in diameter below the welt
that is slightly raised (i'm guessing its filled with puss
or something) but I read that bruises are likely to travel
due to gravity, which would explain why its below the welt
and nothing on the top of my head. I haven't been icing it
down as much as I should be, so I'm thinking its just
something temporary that will go away... Anyone have
anything like this before?

Everybody got so wrapped up talking about their own injuries
that they froget to tell Weatheredstoner what a jerkoff he
is for smashing himself in the head with a dolly. The
tragedy here being that he felt justified in suing someone
for his stupidity.

I realize all dolly carts should come with a detailed
description of Newtonian physics so fuckwits don't brain
themselves. It's a fucking lever and a wheel for christ's
sake! Maybe if you sober up long enough to pass a drug test
they will let you drive a tow motor.- permanent disability
