Anyone else a klutz like me?

DBF split his forehead open on the edge of the drsser a couple of months ago. It was ugly.

A few weeks later he was groggy and went into the bathroom, lifted the toilet lid, then decided to step up onto the toilet to look at the chickens outside. However, what he did was step INTO the toilet and then fall onto the tub edge and crack his back pretty good.

As for me, I sliced my left thumb to the bone last summer. That one hurt.

LOL you guys are making me feel better. Don't feel bad English Chick. I am cracking up too.

Apparently I began crawling at less than 6 months, unbeknownst to my parents, and fell down the stairs (only a few).

I was hit by a car on my 6th birthday and broke my leg.
Kicked by a horse and ruptured a kidney at age 10.
My ski instructor when I was aged 12 ended up in twister like tangle with my arms and legs all wrapped around his. We couldn't get up. He was gorgeous and I was so embarassed.

Fell flat on my face on my first day of college and broke my nose and had to walk around campus with an enormous shnoze and 2 black eyes.

You can imagine what happened at my wedding with a long wedding gown on.

This is just the tip of the iceberg....

I hit my hip on something I walk by almost weekly. I am a walking bruise.

Gosh, this ankle is really sprained. I just looked up the definition. Yep. I have it.

Oh boy, I'm a walking bruise also. But I have somehow managed to break my ribs, (I do them in pairs) 9 times in 10 years. And no, no osteoporosis. Doc says I need to quit acting like a teenager.

My x-rays are scary!

Earlier this year, I was framing the coop- hung the framing square on top of a door frame in the shop. Don't recommend it, when you have a poorly hung door that has to be slammed! (WE DID NOT HANG THIS DOOR) Spent hours and $$$$ to hear that my hand was broken. Duh! I didn't go until DH insisted- I had made a splint out of a wood rice paddle and an Ace bandage- basically the same thing the Doc, did, only the rice paddle was free.

Gosh, I have broken all those ribs, both feet, left arm, scratched corneas in both eyes twice, left wrist, uhm, I don't remember what all else. I am a born klutz, but I sure have fun!

I don't even count the little cuts and cracks. I still think I'm a teenager! Of course right now, I limp because of a pulled ligament in my hip....................

 

[miss_jayne]

well, if it makes ya feel better, i am pretty sure WebMD was invented because the ER doc's were sick of seeing me all the time!

 

[English Chick]

Oh no....stop y'all.....I am breaking ribs laughing.........

Twice this summer my DH spent a week in the hospital with broken ribs and a chest tube. Once on the right and then on the left. I still think he's just avoiding building the new coop.

I'm pretty much the same as all of you, although I don't usually end up hurting anything but my pride.

Yesterday we were trying to get the fallen rabbit hutch back up on it's stand - DH on one side, me on the other backing up and trying to lift it onto the stand. I caught my heal on a big rock and started to go over backward. I dropped the hutch, which fell on it's face (again) and fell flat on my back while DH was trying to see around the hutch to figure out what the heck happened.

Two years ago I was weed eating the yard when my daughter (who was 6) kept bugging me to "try" the weed eater. I was tired and my decision making capability was not operating at full speed. I gave it to her and she immediately started having problems. I called her name and stepped in to take it from her. She turned, with it on full speed, and it caught the back of my shoe and ran all the way up the back of my leg (I had shorts on). It shredded the back of my leg. That's the worst injury I've ever had.

My job calls for me to work in the back country a lot, usually in the mud or in rivers, hiking through hummocks, etc. A year ago my boss and I were pushing a raft up river (too shallow for a motor) to a cabin we had to burn down. The raft started moving forward too fast and I kept holding on an it drug me right down into the water. This happened not once, but twice! The second time I filled my hip waders.

Three years ago I was in the field on a trail project. It was my first major project at my new job and I was the only woman in the field with 7 men. All of them were high ranking agency folk. We were on the job site and I had walkeddown to get some piece of gear when I heard the radio squawking and the project leader called for everyone to come listen. I started running (in Xtra tuffs and mud) and at the last mud puddle near the guys, I took a giant leap, missed the edge and fell face first in the mud. Classic Erin.

Ok I am 23 and a bit of a klutzs. I started early with this disease.

First at about 6 or 7 year olds I was being stupid and i thought I was smart. I was tapping a pony that I used to have while my sister was riding him and finally he was sick of it and kicked me in the stomach with both back feet and I was lucky because I never had to fess to my mom to this day and I was not seriously injured expect for the 2 perfect hoofprints on my stomach.

This summer was hazardous for me starting the first week in may I stepping out of my truck after unloading some hay and rolled and sprained my ankle. Then to the exact day in June I was stepping off of a ramp to a horsetrailer and to the same ankle rolled and twisted it.

Then in the beginning of december I was volunteering at a horse show and I was opening and closing the in-gate and I did not realize that the way the gate was hung it could come off the hinges and well i lifted it up and fell on top of it and smacked both of shins and I still have bruise on one of them.

But all in all I have been very lucky have never had to go the the ER or the Doctors for these moments.

I pulled my rotator cuff last week (ouch!). No, it wasn't iceskating or lifting boxes or cleaning the coop - all things that I've done recently. I pulled my rotator cuff when stopped at a traffic light and reached across the passenger seat to grab a CD!

I needed help dressing and undressing for two days...

I was bowling on my daughter's wii Tuesday night. Tripped and fell. I think I broke my toe. My toe as well as the top of my foot is black and blue. I still don't know how I hurt my foot when I fell on my behind. Hubby and DD thought it was hilarious.
