If laundry counts as a household chore, add me to the injured club. I sprained both ankles when I slipped on some ice in the parking lot outside the laundrymat a few years ago.

My injuries have come from gardening - opened my hand up with a utility knife; and vending machines - opened my hand when my percussive maintenance penetrated the plate glass cover.

Two work related accidents and one "at home":

• Sliced my ring finger open with a razor blade requiring 27 internal and 27 external stitches
• Stuck my hand in a printing press which ripped open a stretch of my left hand (got the cool internal view) and broke a bone on my pinkie
• Fell while running near home and shattered the fifth metacarpal in my left hand

I appear to have something against my left hand

Very cool, Prudence!!!!:snap:


And be careful painting- I once threw my butt out painting vaulted ceilings.

Did you get any results from someone passing by?:p

Nothing as exciting as that- just pulled a muscle I wasn't aware that I owned, and spent the next week snarling at Eric. (He is the tall one- he should have been painting that area).

Your butt?

That is a serious cut, dude. How long is your finger??????

Again, nothing as exciting as that.:rolleyes:


Hey, while we're talking about gross injuries....have I told ya'll about the time I was riding my bike barefoot and got my foot caught in the spokes? Sliced off the back of my foot- toes, heel, etc. I always had the weird injuries as a kid- never anything as mundane as a broken arm or leg. Then there was the rusty nail that went all the way through my foot, and the blood poisoning and the time I got attacked by bees.......

I feel so mundane.
