Don't have anything that bad, the closest I have to any of those is. about 1 month before summer vacation years ago (i was in 5th grade) was mesing around with an old close line pole that had an open end on both ends, I was trying to get a mason jar to stick on one end and pump water from the garden hose from the other hole, the jar kept popping off, so I decided to just sit it in the hole and give it a nice good palm thrust (the kind youd push somebody with you know?) any ways the jar broke a shard off glass shot straight back into second to last finger on my right hand, could see straight to the bone, went to the hospital got 4 stitchs, then had to go to surgery for it ended up with 25 stitchs and almost losing the use of the finger since it cut 75% of one tendon and 90% of the other, now I have scar that run from the under side of my knuckle to the first digit and also the same distance to the center of my palm, finger locks into place from time to time and feels weird when I apply pressure and then flex the finger.

I've never done anything to my hands, but I did cut my leg open on a umbrella. I spent the night at my Grandparents house and in the morning I went to Lowe's with my grandpa. When we got there I was getting out of the car when my right leg hit a hand held umbrella that was in the back pocket of the seat. It made a huge gash in my leg, but it didn't hurt, It just scared the crap out of me.:surprised: We got back into the car and went to urgent care and I got 12 stiches. Then almost 3 weeks later we went back to urgent care and I got the stiches taken out. After the stiches were out it started to open up again, so the Dr. put a hole bunch of butterfly stiches on it to close it back up. Stupid Umbrella:lol:

Wow...

yup.

i fell backwards off my mountain bike while doing wheelies on a recently paved (very high traction) road and hit head first. it split my head open, i was unconscious for about 10 seconds, and my entire shirt had soaked with blood as if you had jumped into a pool and blood was dripping off the bottom of the shirt. i staggered home dizzily and grabbed a wash cloth and put pressure on my head until the bleeding stopped. i just took it easy for a few days. i was too light-headed to do much.

now, the spot that i hit on the back of my head is a bald spot the size of a US quarter.


just though i would keep the thread going in the wrong direction:lol:

Hows this, 21st of January 2004. One of the coldest days of this Canadian winter. I'm working on an addition project on a Hospital of all places when all of a sudden smack! 2000lbs of solid Douglas Fir beams 14"x14"x45' come crashing down from the crane myself and youngest brother are using to unload a tractor trailer.
We each take a hit on the head,he buckles in half nose touching his toes fracturing 2 ribs,pulling out his back and just plain sore with the wind knocked out of him.
Me not so lucky. I didn't buckle and wound up with a broken neck at the 6th cervical vertebra.
So after 2 hours in traction 2 surgeries and a whole lot of hardware I face life as a C6 Quadriplegic.
At this point I go to rehab for 7 months, come home move into mom&dads house until the house my family and friends were building for us is complete.
A year later get married to my then girlfriend of 12 years,
get a couple dogs and 7 months ago become father to twins,my son Ethan and daughter Chloe.


Did I win for Biggest BooBoo!
HeHe!

damn paralysis

Ya its a bitch eh!

You must have a story to go with that username,lets hear itl.

Dirtbike accident, right Harold? For some reason I remember that... Might be wrong, has happened before!

We have a couple of guys on here that are paralyzed and you guys always shock me with you upbeat outlook on life. I doubt I am that much of a man... Big props to you guys!

I was in a very serious accident when I was 8, got hit by a car traveling 45mph+ while I was crossing a road on a bicycle. No obvious damage, but I have 6 or so messed up discs in my back, neck, mid and lower back. Plus I lost all "picture" memories from that point back, so no childhood for me!!! No idea what it was like, so I guess I do not miss it. I could still read and write, and did remember people that I came in contact with shortly after the accident, but forgot people that I did not see for a while. Now my memory is very weird, and I dream in red scale... Plus you all know how strange I am in other ways!

I got lucky, all I lost was memories, crazy granny could have killed me. I still think how lucky I am, and it does help.

it was a clear bright sunny day and I just headed out of town up the big hill to my parents farm. I was zipping along at about 90 in my 'lil crx when *BLAMMO* I hit the back of a semi hauling corn that could only get to 10mph up the hill. That day is gone from my memory and I don't know why it happened. C5 incomplete.

nah, those I never crashed:neutral:

I think Jerry down here near me had a dirtbike accident... Maybe that is what I remember.

yep jerryf504??? was that his screen name?

Yeah incomplete here as well, no triceps no real usable hand function. Somehow I still manage to get most of my RC stuff done though, just takes me forever.

dude, sometimes one screw will take me 50 tries and a half hour! the right tools are key.

I will say this- it might take a while and a different way but everyting I have tried to do from a chair I've accomplished. Yay me!

I hear ya
For a driver i use this guy

worth every penny.
Also use vise grips all the time.
I've built heli's, cars and worked on my boats. Back in the day I could have built an 1/8 buggy in 1 night now it's a 2 week project,one thing I've definitely gain since being in the chair is patience.

E-clips are my nemesis!

Well wifes gone to bed,gotta go spend a few hours tightening a couple nuts on the new boat. LOL

Patience is a virtue that I have yet to discover... I have plenty with my customers, but I think that bleeds me dry for everything else that I may need patience for.

Have fun with the boat!
