[Help Thread] Cubing Injuries?

[Muesli]

I have 15cm long scars on the back of each of my calves and small 0.5 mm scars down my Achilles tendon. These are from operations because I developed shorter calves than normal, causing me to stand on my tiptoes all the time. Fixed now though, which is good.

The only thing I know I'm allergic to is Citriodiol, a citric essence that is used in a couple of mosquito sprays. I also don't react particularly well to lemon extracts on...sensitive bits (Lemon scented soap I'm looking at you).

Both my wrists make worrying crunching noises when I move them around. Not cracks per-se, crunches. I've never broken them.

I have 3 small round scars on my right forearm from flipping an omelette (Don't EVER try to flip an omelette) and being splashed by searing hot butter. People kept asking my if I was self harming because they looked like cigarette burns.

I had chickenpox back when I was 9. got marks on my abdomen.
Once when at school, I was running across the field, got my thigh pierced by a splintered wooden stick. went in about half an inch. it never did pain surprisingly. :O
I also have this strange slash right on the joint where foot meets calf. I was too young to remember what I did to get that scar.

I broke my right femur when I was 3 years old (July 1999), so I missed the start of school and started 4 months late in January 2000 because I was in a wheelchair for half a year.

Are you serious? Or trolling?

 

[Kirjava]

I'm serious.

just today, i was shaving apples like you would potatoes(bad idea), and i cut under my left fingernail. The nail is very mangled, wrapped up=no cubing for a while.

OH?

Whoever beats this (and survives) gets a cookie.

Having asphalt on one side of my head and a car on the other side of the head on a parking lot (I should post pics of what I looked like after that, but only if someone is interested in it x'D)

I would love to see that. I read about some kid who did that and lived but a doubted it.

Actually I will not be near the pictures before on monday unless I am getting off school 2 hours earlier or something like that, which I kind of doubt.

Edit: If I remember I will bump this thread with an awesome looking little boy with a broken leg and a wound covering half of the face (I still have 2 scars in my face which no one really notices )

an old friend of mine had is arm cut wide open when he was operating a drill. Could see his bone. Makes me cringe just thinking about it :|

I have never broken a bone but I have pollen allergy.

I once cut my nail off with a scalpel while modding my ShengEn F2, cut deep into the flesh under my nail. Probably the most serious injury I've had in my life.

 

[IanTheCuber]

4., I never broke a bone either...

Odder, I don't see how it's possible, and which part of the car was on your head?
How did the car get on your head in the first place?

It just drove over me? I thought that was obvious (but I have no idea how my head end up under the tire though)

about 2 days after: (actually it doesn't look that bad at all, but it never was the scratches that could have been fatal, but the pressure from the car's weight)

Spoiler

Looking at family photos aka. licking family photos

What to do? DRINK! (actually I don't drink alcohol at all)

Did I forget to say that it also broke my leg?

After a month at the hospital... that's how my cubing carrier started O.o (I actually didn't know that)

 

[Cubenovice]

Odder, you're a tough puppy!

But one of my friends can (easily) top that.

We were 14-15 years olds and cycling home from school in a large group; he breaks out of the group and turns into the street he’s living in.
He waves to sister and at the same moment goes straight under the wheel of the cart of an approaching tractor.
Loaded with several tons of, for lack of a better word, “natural fertilizer”.

They worked for weeks just to keep him alive and only then they could start fixing the broken bones.

More drama:
Years later he had an operation to extend one of his legs, meets a girl in the hospital who has a similar operation. Eventually they marry and get a kid.
In the same year he becomes a dad he also loses his wife… Brain tumor…

Oh my god, me too... We need to make a club.

Im not allergic to anything but over the summer i got lyme disease. it was terrible, the anti-biotics they give you are just cruel to your body. I sliced off all the skin on my shin when i was in 5th grade, 5 years later and there is a huge scar left behind. i never get sick but when i do i stay that way for about 2 weeks. I have terrible motion sickness. my 6th grade teacher used to call me "Injury boy" because i would always come into school in some way injured. I one time had a pen go through the thick part of skin neat your thumb and index finger....AND BREATH

That's called failing at commiting suicide, but give him a cookie anyway

Oh, and there was this time I drove my moped straight into an incoming car.
Both travelling at 50-60 km/h, head on collision ----> fly like superman (although probably less elegant)

I (as in "my body") didn't even touch the car, flew right over it
If I had hit it I probably would not be typing this right now.
