whats the silliest injury youve sustained - self inflicted or by someone else?

a good few years ago I broke my arm tying up a haynet, string broke and as I fell backwards I tripped over the edge of my rubber matting lol

BUT today tops that. been working in my field today with Joe_carby off here. we ended up going apple picking - what a laugh - he knocked one apple straight into the side of my head - then did the same thing about 30 mins later - were not talking small apples either. of course he just stood there wetting himself laughing, im going to have a huge black eye in the morning - great just what i want when im interviewing customers all day.
 
The very last time I rode my horse. He was spooked by a pheasant, instead of just bailing I stuck my hand under the pommel, came off anyway, but broke my hand

Broke my foot a couple of years ago, as usual didn't listen to what the medics said about not being active for 6-1000 weeks (
wink.gif
) went to the yard, tripped over a stray haynet while carrying 2 saddles and opened up the break again

The only one that springs to mind was the time my boyfriend went to put his arm round me in the car to give me a kiss goodbye, and he elbowed me in the eye so hard I cried! I had a black eye for about a week

ouch that mustve really hurt especially getting back on again.
oooh i forgot i also did the same kind of thing a few years ago. jumped off some post and rail onto uneven ground at the other side, went over on my ankle and did the ligaments in again - ouch
 
well Im sporting on my left arm, a scar from having a metal plate fitted when I broke my arm walking a dog of all things, dog pulled me over, if fell broke arm! Then got bitten by a feral cat on my knuckle on left hand, hand surgeon decided best to operate and clean out, all strapped up people thought I'd been bitten by a lion!!! Another scar, Recently I've just burned my left arm on the iron!!!! I don't even do the B****y ironing! Hubby does it!! Left the iron by my coffee!!! I didn't realise it was on!! Again on my left arm, I must really hate my left side!!

Was in final year of uni, ironing a shirt for OH to go to a job interview. Dropped shirt mid iron onto grubby kitchen floor, bent down so fast to pick it up that I didn't see the radiator. Headbutted the corner of the radiator and split the centre of my forehead open only four months before our wedding.

Nobody believed me, how likely is it that you knock yourself out ironing?

Everybody assumed I'd fallen over drunk.

Still have a very attractive scar. Possibly more embarrassing is that I bent down to pick something up in the carpark at school on Wed and managed to give myself a very similar although not quite as bad injury on the corner of the car door. Now have two scars on my forehead.

OH thinks I probably shouldn't be allowed out on my own....

broke my finger when i was 8 cos my sister 'dared' me to climb up a twisty slide backwards, got to the middle and someone other kid came sliding down me now realising thers not enougn room in the slide so i turn round we both hit each other and he kicks me in the hand and my finger broke.

other time me and my brother were play fighting and he kicked out at me and silly me thinking i could catch his leg, stuck my hand out he caught my thumb and broke it.

and then most stupid of all, (we all do it so dont lie lol)
being the horsey person i am i decided i wanted to run up the stairs on all fours like a horse and whilst racing up banged my wrist on the pointy bit of the stairs and broke my wrist... haha good times.

Pmsl, were you honest when the doctor asked how you broke it? I do have to admit though, I have been known to gallop up the stairs too
wink.gif
 
Crouched down at work, not realising lump hammer on it's head so shaft sticking up underneath me
shocked.gif
, good job I'm not a nudist plumber, or I would have been walking around with a hammer sticking out my arse
blush.gif

the worst i have seen is my mum was double barrelled by my mare (acidently she got in between 2 horses). 2 hoof prints on her bum one on each check she had to sit in a tyre innertube for weeks. opps

I was on the way to A & E wth my son when he was younger. He had fallen over and split his head open. I walked out the yard gate and fell over on the ice as well. I drove the 3 miles to the hospital and asked the nurse to check my arm out as well, as there was a crunching noise coming from the elbow. The doctor treated us both at the same time. I had broken my elbow...
 
Last night I was scrubbing the toilet a bit overzealously and the brush flicked some cleaner in my eye, as it is a limescale remover one it is very acidic.

cue me trying to wash eye out under tap (not that easy) and a trip to a and e for them to wash it out properly, small ulcer on cornea but its been pretty good today, I did feel stupid though

My dad threw a stick for my dog to chase. Misjudged trajectory and it caught me in the hand breaking two bones and my little finger.


Also walked into the sea at Cromer, got caught in some rocks, buffetted by a wave and broke several foot bones and two toes.
When the tide went out they were the only three teeny-tiny little rocks as far as the eye could see...
 
Was playing with my sisters pony on the lunge one day and decided to take her and pop her over a small tyre fence, did it fine in one direction then decided to do it in the other direction, me jumping the lower bit and her jumping the higher side next to me.
She jumped across me, landing on my foot and sliding off my onto the ground.
Finished off at the yard and walked home, went to take my boot off and my boot was covered in blood, when i took the sock off my big toenail came off with it.
Nearly passed out.
 
Years ago i was picking out a front hoof at the riding school i worked at and a friend walked past and knocked me over. Horse put his foot down on my hand (palm up) and wouldn't move from my feeble pushing with my left hand for aaaages. Thank god it was on a straw bed so i only had bruising, if it had been concrete i dread to think. Hurt though!!
 
I walked into a doorframe and broke my toe

Also got trodden on by Toto, he stepped on my foot, then skidded off the end of toes, I had a chunk missing from the end of my big toe, the nail went blue and eventually it fell off
crazy.gif
 
3 years ago I was cantering on my sec A bare back up a lane, on route to my Mums house to bath him, he swerved to the left, I came off facing the back of him (on my feet)
I thought Id twisted my right ankle, 2hours later after I rode him home. I couldn't take my welly off.
I had torn ligaments
frown.gif
Pain was horrific!
Worse than a break!
It was quite embarrassing when the nurse in a+e asked what height the horse was

I was putting my bombproof pony in the field, for some reason she galloped off with me attached by my finger. It had got stuck in them awful cheap head collar buckles. Ended up in A & E, couldnt fix it, wanted to take the end of my finger off!. My dad said no way and I had an op and spent a week in hospital and ages with my finger pinned and a cork stuck on the end. The film ET was out at the time, lots of mickey taking for me!
 
I was sorting out the muck heap and managed to stab myself in the foot with the pitchfork, didn't realise I had actually broken the skin or anything, so carried on, only to the take my boot off and find my sock and foot covered in blood, with the wound sort of splurting. Apparently the space between the bones in your foot is larger than the bones, yet I managed to hit one.

A few months later, I fell off the same muck heap and landed on a pitch fork with my hand, which then cost me another trip to A & E
