Pity party, table for 1, your table is now available!

This morning I sprained my ankle during my workout. I'm pretty embarrassed as I was running and talking to someone and all the sudden ... BAM! I fell right onto my face. I caught myself so at least I don't have any scrapes to the face ..... just scraped hands and I think a sprained ankle. Of course, DH is working 3 - 12 hr. shifts in a row starting today. Thankfully he had time to splint it before he took my two oldest ones to school and I found a ride to bring them home. I was not looking forward to driving with my left foot!

I thought it'd be fun to share the injuries we've given ourselves. I've also:

- wiped out while moutain biking (2 stiches to the left thigh)
- scraped skin off while box jumping (infection to the right calf)
- various falls on the keester while pregnant (no injury to the baby)

Hmmm.... can't remember anything before kids .......

Any other klutzes care to share?

I broke my toe a few weeks ago walking into a wall. And have since then slammed it like 3 other times. I can do a triathlon 7 months pregnant but can't walk and avoid walls.

I trip UP the stairs constantly.

Oh, hon -- welcome to my existence. I've broken my tailbone so many times that I can't sit on bleachers or any hard surface for any length of time without squirming and constantly needing to readjust. I've broken both ankles multiple times, both wrists, both arms, etc.

Klutzy + tomboy = lots of x-rays

I am an epic wipe-outer, but I've never injured myself beyond some bruises. In college in MN before I bought good snow boots, I would do the whole feet flying out from under me slide on my ass wipeout. I now own Sorels. And in out last home several times I fell down half the stairs after slipping in socks on the somewhat worn carpet. There were also a couple instances where someone used hair shine spray (me) or PAM (DH) over wood floors and I slipped on it. I can't tell you how many times I've bruised my tailbone. I probably do a huge fall down stairs, sprawled across the floor wipeout 2-3 times per year. Maybe I have an inner ear problem. But actually, the only damage was done by DH, who was playing with one of the cats and CHASING it in socks on wood floors. He wiped out, ran a shoulder into one of our built-ins and broke the window, but fortunately not his shoulder. We are awesome klutzes over here.

Scratched my eyeball by picking up a box that I thought was heavier than it was. One of the flaps stabbed me in the eyeball

I also burned by eyelid by blowing out one of those stupid gel candles.

Broke my toe by tripping over a suitcase.

And those are the ones I could remember off-hand.

I have random bruises all over from running into things but it happens do often I never remember how I got them.

I fell down the stairs at BILs wedding last weekend, luckily no one saw it but A and I told her I was fine and she didn't need to tell anyone but it was a doozy, ripped my hose at the knee, huge bruise on my forearm, very sore the next day. I'm so glad the stairs were arranged the way they were or I would have done it in front of the entire reception. Luckily by this time of the night the reception hall was very hard so I'm hoping no one noticed my hose.

Thankfully, I'm not a klutz (knock on wood) and I am really thankful for that!

DrB, on the other hand, he knocks into things ALL THE TIME. He's perpetually covered in bruises.

My main one was a slip on ice episode 6 months preggers while dh was in MS1. And I broke my wrist very badly, had a long arm cast for 6 weeks, and still had to change the twins diapers and be the housekeeper/shopper/cook full time.... Believe me I was throwing epic pity parties. Daily.

You're not alone! I fell and slid on concrete head first and ended up with 13 stitches. Fell while waiting in line and ended up having to go to the ER and had to explain how I fell just standing around. Slipped and pulled a Charlie Brown in horseshit in front of a huge crowd of people. Then when I got up, I was looking down at the damage and another horse crapped on me...so many stories! Once a date asked me if ballet made me more graceful and right when I was answering the question, I tripped and fell down a flight of stairs, wiping out a small Christmas tree. My arm still has problems from that and it was almost 5 years ago

There are some good ones here... But CG, I think you win.

I fell of my elliptical machine. Not while working out...I was just sitting on it. I gave it away.

I fell while walking slowly on a treadmill.

I sliced the side of my left pinky off while using an x-acto knife. An intern had to drive me to the ER, then pick me up after I was doctored up.

While pregnant with my youngest, I stepped out of the Expedition we had, forgot there was a running board to step on and landed on my fat pregnant butt in front of Target on a Saturday. DH didn't know where I went until a stranger picked me up off the ground. LOL

I've broken my tailbone three times (and it hurts today because I've been sitting on it too long; it never healed right), and FOUR broken toes by walking into our bedpost. Owie. Broken toes hurt so freaking bad.

[samssugarmomma]

I'm laughing so hard at our stories. Glad I'm in good company!

My most recent break happened in the middle of a busy parking lot when I stepped on a quarter-sized, perfectly round rock. That motherfucker dropped me to my knees and I still had to drive myself home. And yes, it was my right foot.

I texted DH that I'd sprained by ankle when I finally hobbled home. Dude left work early and took me back to get x-rayed. I protested the entire time because it wasn't a big deal and certainly no reason to head to the damn hospital. The tech ended up being a friend and DH was joking around and LAUGHING when they found the break because he knew I was going to be pissed that, 1.) he was right, and, 2.) that I had yet another break.
