DrewEckhardt 0 #76 December 4, 2005 I was sleeping one night, had a bad dream, and started kicking. I put my foot through a 3/4" particle board shelf next to the bed and the glass candle holder on top of it. Got blood on two walls and the vaulted ceiling. Had to go barefoot or wear sandles for a week or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I wake up and find my knuckles all bloody.

NWFlyer 2 #78 October 7, 2009 Bumping this old thread because I had a doozy last night... Mom and Dad are visiting so I'm being nice and giving the old folks my bed, and I'll take the aerobed in the spare room. I'm getting the aerobed set up, and pulling it out of the bag that it's been in for a few months, rolled up tight. I have the brilliant idea to shake the mattress out to get it to lay flat before I start inflating it. In the process of shaking I manage to clock myself in the eye with the motor/pump ... which is really damned heavy. I look a little like this today.

shah269 0 #83 October 7, 2009 I have two cats.....ok that's not accurate. Two cats tolerate me and their job besides eating and sleeping is to try and kill me every chance they get. They orchestrated a devious plan to trip me down the stairs and then have me fall face first into a wall and then stand there looking innocent and ask for food.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

PLFXpert 0 #87 October 7, 2009 I did slice my finger pretty well on an apple the other day... Other than that, a year or so ago I dropped a wine glass on the countertop as I was getting it down from the rack. I have a track record of breaking wine glasses, mind you (especially when they are in the sink waiting to be washed ). However it fell, I had the wherewithal to turn my face, thankfully, but sadly my arms somehow were in such a vulnerable position I received a shard of glass lodged in each inside-wrist. It is summer in Florida, and we have a dinner date in an hour. Clearly I cannot wear long-sleeves and the only bandaids I keep are the flex-super-kind that are so obvious. Thank goodness Bill was on his way home and arrived five minutes later. With the help of some tweezers and a needle, he was able to dislodge the glass pieces in my wrists and i honored our dinner-date with friends looking like a suicidal maniac with bandaged wrists. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fossg 0 #90 October 7, 2009 Several years ago I was putting Christmas lights up on our house when I felt the ladder shiftThe next thing I knew I was in the rose bush out front (the one with thorns the size of sharks teeth) I fell about 10 feet.

Brains 2 #94 October 8, 2009 Ok, i was rolling through my living room and into my kitchen on Heeley's. I was trying to learn how to go around the island and back into the living room in a sort of figure 8 pattern. (I had only had them 5 days) I was coming back into the kitchen area when my left foot stopped and my right kept going, causing me to twist/fall landing on my left shin. Result: Spiral fracture tib/fib. I was alone at the house and knew it was broken so i had to drag myself around the island and back to the bedroom and into the closet to try and find my phone to call Kim to come get me. Once i got into the closet and made the call, i realized i could't turn myself around to get out of the closet, you see i could only drag myself (and my broken leg) i could not sit up to turn around or scoot across the carpet. The whole time i was convinced that it was a compound fracture because it felt like my shoe was filling up with blood (it wasn't) When the paramedics showed up, the first thing one of them said was, "What the hell are you doing in the closet?" Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #95 October 8, 2009 I got up and out of bed with a foot that was asleep and wnd up rolling all the toes under just as I put all my weight on it. Stress fracture all the way across the foot is what the Xrays said. What was worse was it was in the middle of winter and all they would let me put on was a light sock and a sandal so I had to walk around in snow and crutches with a foot that felt like it was going to get frostbite every time I had to walk between classes in college.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaH 0 #96 October 8, 2009 That's exactly what happened when I broke my foot getting out of my chair. My foot was asleep and I didn't realize it. My toes rolled under as I put all my weight on it, then my foot twisted to the side. Didn't feel it at first, just heard it. Unfortunately; I waited almost 2 days to go to the doctor.

BillyVance 34 #97 October 8, 2009 I don't understand how you people don't know your foot is numb. I've always known it when it happened to me and just wait for the feeling to come back before I get up and go. What I do hate is the pins and needles feeling. That drives me nuts. The limb that usually goes completely numb and useless these days is my arm after I slept on it the wrong way. I can't even lift it or move my fingers, and have to use the other hand to reach over and massage the armpit area and get blood flowing back through again."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaH 0 #98 October 8, 2009 The pins and needles feeling is the blood coming back into circulationi with whatever fell asleep. When I got up and took a step, it was before I had that sensation. Didn't feel anything until about 30 seconds later.Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
