I think I'd say the worst I've had was a fractured top mandible(jaw) and some knocked out front teeth. And man did that hurt for a few weeks, hate to think how it would've been without painkillers! :p

ahhh i feel like I am always sick!
when I was little I had gromets(spl) put in my ears because I had trouble hearing, my parents were silly and got me sunburnt when i was little which developed into a skin condition.
I've had pneumonia and glandular fever, various ear and chest infections.
I’ve dislocated different fingers, my shoulders, broken my collar bone and apparently I have tennis elbow, despite having not played tennis in years… I can barely move my left arm about 3 out of 4 weeks a month it sucks!

WELL.... last year, at school i was swinging on a metal gate and there was a brick wall behind it and i pushed off from the ground and it rebounded and hit me in the face and smashed of half my right front tooth. It was all quite funny because i looked like a poor person who couldnt afford to make a trip to the dentist LOL!. My friend picked up the other half of my tooth, luckily because when i went to the dentist about an hour after it had happened he glued it (bonded) it back together!! ahah perrty funny story i rekon :p because you dont usually get your teeth glued back together heeheh u\but my mum was heaps angry at me and calling me heaps dumb and sutff cause apparently know one does that and if u see my heaps straight teeth you will see how it looks like i have braces :D lol ahhaha.. Thats the only injury i've really had..
AAhhh So traumatic :(
ha But now i dont eat on it cause i'm scared it will break off lol.

Maybe i should drink more milk...

i fell down the stairs in my house this morning. i was aiming for the bathroom with my eyes pretty much glued shut with sleep... accidentally turned left instead of right, and bang, down the stairs.
granted, there's only 5 stairs. but they're made of wood. and they hurt when you smack down all of them with your spine. ouch.
i did that once before when we first moved in to this house...didnt think id be so dumb as to do it again. :eek:

when i competed in taw kwon do, i punched myself in the head. well... kinda.

attempted to clock what i tought was a turning kick, what turned out to become 'axe' [think being kicked DOWN, not across], and got bad positioning which through my hand diagonal, into my head, WHACK.

Dizzy for a couple of seconds. Felt pertty dodgy all day.

Woke up the next day, was Photophobic! A delayed concussion. Light through my blinds to my eyes BURNED. i felt my way out my room with one hand over my eyes and called my parents.

Off to hospital!

at the hospital they thought i was on drugs, literally the first thing they did when i got there, and they saw me was to roll my sleeves and check my arms :D

Next the Blood pressure machine broke... Twice. And clamped down HARD on my arm. Viens poping up everywhere. Motioned to mum, who thought i was being silly/childish/annoying, untill she looked at a purple arm with huge worm-like viens on it. She ripped it off. Nurse got angry at us. thought we were over reacting.
Tried again, and showed the Nurse, who ripped it off herself when she saw.

We took it manually then. :)

i can't really remember any more details than that... I got an MRI too. Noisy, noisy machine.

Everyone has been laughing at me all day..... i expect everyone here to laugh at me too.... coz im an idiot...

Hm.. remembering saying how i break things easily? well, afterm last night i dont think it is a matter of weak bones, but of complete and utter stupidity!!

Hey, Cosmic Doris.... remember sayiung you though you were stupid fo falling down stairs twice?

Well... last night at lithgow maccas with school on our way back from sydney, the teacher was still inside and gave me the keys to go and open the bus for everyone..... i stood outside, leaned in to turn on the bus.. which was still in gear and bunny hopped... right onto my foot.... i kind of calmly went, "um.. guys, bus, foot.. stuck, OUCH!" the people didnt realize was my foot was still stuck... after a lot of laughing and them realizing what had happened a guy went its ok, jumped in and decided ot reverse it... back over my foot...

I didnt want to worry the teacher or make students go to hospital at lithgow late at night... so i said all was fine... subtely hopped over to other side, grit my teeth, tried not to cry and travelled all the way back to bathurst..

Woke up this morning in sooo muhc pain... couldnt walk or move toes....

Turned out i broke my second and third metatarsal...

Everyone at school thought i was blonde...

Now after hearing that i

"ran over my foot with a bus..... i was driving"

They are convinced!!!

well it takes me about 3 hours to fall asleep and i wake up during the night anyways. does that classify as a sleeping disorder? chronic headaches, i've had glandular fever, a broken tailbone, broken finger, measles, i fainted when i had my first vaccination for the ovarian cancer thing at schools...and rage blackouts.
