My injuries are largely athletic related...and the fact that I'm am not much of an athlete.

Threw 1 (one) pass in high school. I was a 40/40 player...if we were 40 points behind, I was in..40 seconds left in the game, yep, I got in. My coach had a sense of humor.
My one touchdown came at a price on that pass. I was hit under my right shoulder as I released the ball, dislocating it. The pass was complete in the end zone, the band started playing the fight song, and as the kicker (old school, straight on), I stayed out there with my arm dangling and kicked the point after. I went over to the bench and the trainer, in front of God and everybody, stuck my right hand in the front of my pants and promptly set my shoulder back into place. I believe I saw Jesus shortly afterwards. If I could have moved, I believe I would have killed that trainer at that moment.

The hard part was explaining to my friends after the game why I had my hand in the front of my pants in front of them, God, and everybody. I didn't date much after that.

Played HS basketball, safely ensconced on the bench. No injuries except pride.

Walked on in college to play football as a placekicker...the only player that was any good on our team was, you guessed it, the placekicker. All-conference. Never suited up in 4 years except one time, but I got to practice and get to know some now dear friends.

Now I pastor a church, and have the joy of watching others do more on the fields of life than I ever achieved...and it is marginally safer...except the deacon meetings.

I just read through the entire 37 pages. Some made me wince (eye stuff bothers me), mostly laughed my butt off.
Here's me after a state land shotgun deer hunt. Doe came in from directly behind me. I put the scope on her, but just couldn't rotate me head all the way around, so I was looking over my nose. I pulled the trigger and my vision went blurry right away. The doe dropped like a sack. Blood was dripping from my nose, so I stuffed a piece of TP in my nostril. Still dripping, so stuffed the other nostril. Still dripping and I'm like WTF, where is it coming from. My eyes were tearing like crazy. Finally realized I damaged the outside of my nose...and inside too. Heard in crunching for three weeks when I tried to blow or wipe it. Nice little scope ring.

Been there done that..TMH... I too turned around a tree trunk and shot a real nice 9 pt. buck and got hit HARD with the scope. I bleed badly for a long time. I mean I bled and it always seems you bled worse when it's cold out. It was 15-20 degrees when I did it. I had to climb down 15 ft. also from a tree.

But I feel for ya buddy... it sure the hell hunts and gives you a totally new attitude instantly!!!!!

My worst experience was Lyme disease. Luckily it was the 2nd time I had it and I knew what to do this time. The first time I walked around wishing I could just die already for almost 6 months before they finally figured out what was wrong with me and begin the right treatment.

I always advise people that if you get a tick bite, go get the meds and just take them. You'll save yourself a TON of extreme misery by not waiting....

I recently injured myself and was directed here for the injury thread. I think my real injury was dealing with insurance companies. I was supposed to have some tendons sewed back together and the insurance company said no. I called my doctor and they said call the insurance company. The insurance company said I did not report the injury and to call my doctor.

This has been going round and round for days now. What happened to the day you went to the ER and got patched up. My flippin nurse can sew a tendon together, and probably do a better job too.

Now you may be asking how this can happen. It happens if your a veteran. The promises made to me back in 1983 has been broken over and over again. So my real injury is my broken heart and the sadness I feel for every joining the military in the first place. I just dont think we deserve a military or freedom anymore. Im tired of being told its my fault, I volunteered and fought like hell for everyone here.

 

[BigWaveDave]

Thanks for posting my friend....
Your story is hard to read, and I feel bad that this is on your plate....
Tnet has a lot of guys, like you, me,...tough old SOBs who get through with scars, stories, regrets, and lessons learned.
Good luck bro.

I went completely ass over tit a few weeks back on the side of a mountain. There had been a fire last year so nothing growing to hold the soil in place....first rain everything was damp. Stepped on a solid looking rock and it all came out from underneath me. Ended up with huge rock crushing my side and unable to move my leg. Sat there for ten minutes...checked my detector and backpack ( detectors come before legs..ha ha)Pushed rock off... ended up a very long and painful limp down the mountain. next day was blue from hip to knee...2 days in bed.now all this time later still sort of yellow...
Heres my lesson. 1)Do the research. Google earth etc. dont take some halfwits word for where the trail is! well meaning guy- but wrong.
2) I only like to hike alone, alot of places without cell phone reception, so maybe realise my limitations.
3) pack some kind of medical pack in my backpack....toilet paper and a band aid pretty pathetic. Strangley enough I have spare dtector batteries, coil bolt, pinpoint battery knife, slingshot etc.... but no first aid pack.

I've got a few first aid kits for that very reason....
Where they are I got no idea.

I went to dig fossils in the peace river and I walked about a mile and half down river. I was standing in water over my knee and some huge fish bumped my leg, I came up outta that hole! Then, I was digging and look up and hear is this huge Rottweiler mix, standing 8 ft away looking at me, after a few tense moments, he turned out to be nice. I know these weren't injurys but they scared the crap outta me and I did get cut up by thorns coming and going.

I once caught my ***** in my pants zipper....

Ok ok... it was my jacket zipper...

Ok ok... sheeesh.... it was the ankle zipper on a jogging suit.


Anyway... there may be a scar if you look really close.

Please no picture requests.

I am camera shy

Horrible memory with this post by you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was 8, 9 or 10 years of age at this time. Our family was at church. I suddenly said "Dad, I gotta go to the bathroom". He said... "Go, and get right back up here".

So.... I left and headed downstairs to the boys bathroom. Did the standup pee thing in the toilet and tucked "everything" back inside and did the quick "zip-up" on my dress pants. Quickly realized "everything" wasn't tucked "back inside" ... but the zipper went right back up to the top.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First and only time for this happening then... or ever since (quick learner)! Damn, it hurt and I tried to undo this event over and over but it hurt so bad.

Then after 10-12 minutes a knock was on the door...? I said "I'll be out in a minute". It was my dad! He asked "What is the problem"?

I said give me a minute and I'll be out. Nope.... unlock the door now he said. I unlocked the door and in walked DAD! (not cool). So... I explained the present problem and he said "Let me see". NOT COOL!!!! Problem was over instantly....!!!!!!!!

Damn that hurt.
