Years ago I was working at a gas station at night time. I was cutting speaker wire for the speakers I was adding to my truck. A customer finished pumping gas and came into the store to pay for the gas. After he left I hopped back into my truck and felt something bite me in the butt. Well it turns out that I did not flip the knife closed. So here I am trying to get customers to leave, apply pressure to my puncture wound, and close down shop. 10 min later I shut down shop and left.
Then there was the time I was cleaning the chain on my motorcycle. I had the back wheel lifted up so I could put the bike in gear so the chain would rotate. I was running a rag over the chain when I must of applyed to much pressure to the chain. My thumb when throught the back sprocket and chain cutting 3/4 of my thumb off. They ended up sewing it back on and I still have movement and feeling in it.

Threw my knee cap about 3" off the side of my leg. My ligaments were nice enough to pull it back into place for me. Slightly out of alignment but close to where it should be. Dr. finished the job, stating that he was just going to coax it back into the right spot. My question was, "Is it going to hurt?" His answer, "Absolutely". Me, "Will I get anything for the pain" Dr.: "A lollypop". I had surgery to fix some damaged cartilage all is well now. That happened about 14 yrs ago.

Little league baseball, playing 3rd base, runner on 2nd attempts to steal 3rd, catcher throws the ball a bit high and to my right, catches the lip of my glove, pops right into my right eye/socket. I drop my glove, walk off the field holding my face, times called, etc. Went to the hospital to make sure the swelling wasn't going to put pressure on my eye. Found out that I had a harder time reading the eye chart, with my 'good' eye, then the eye that just got hit. So from then on, I wore glasses till 14, and contacts ever since. I remember when I got hit with the ball, it wasn't a feeling of hurt., but like this wierd 'oh crap what just happened' feeling.

When I was 23, I was drinking and playing on a trampoline and fell on my head. When I landed I broke my sternum and ribs with my chin and had a C5-C6 spinal injury.
I had a devil of a time trying to explain what happened to me to the Army docs. They thought it happed when I was jumping out of an airplane and they freaked when I said, no it happened while I was at a party on a trampoline. It took a year to recover from the injury!

0n 4/11/05 Broke my neck, crushed the right side of my face inclulding eye orbit, was in a coma for 3 days also had swelling/water buildup on my brain thought I was going to have emergency brain surgery also had a broken clavical, dislocated my shoulder, scraped a lot of the skin off my shoulders and face, sprained ankle, busted up knees and really sore all over..kinda scarry even to type all this out, as it wasn't one of my favorite times.
Docs were kinda shocked at my recovery, only lingering problems are ongoing nuro issues with spelling, math and short term memory, 3 procedures on my neck and more to go...
All of these problems I now use to my advantage, as in "When I added all the equipment prices together I swear that It didn't cost that much and I don't remember you saying I couldn't order that new tank)

Broken hip (among other things) in car wreck. Dashboard got shoved back about 8". the impact on the knee (now arthritic) blew the ball of the femur out of the socket and through the nerve bundle in the lower back. I thought I was pretty tough when it comes to pain. I had a broken ankle and wrist in the wreck as well. No biggie but when they lifted me out the bone was tearing through the nerves I was yawling big time.

My arm got ripped off when I was playing football. Thankfully the doctors sewed it back just in time and I can use it and I still have movement and feeling in it.
