When I was 16 I got my arm twisted in a PTO shaft. Glove got caught on the break away bolt and wrapped my arm around it to the point it pulled my arm out of my shoulder socket. Luckily, my dad was turning off the PTO right before this happened so the injuries weren't as bad as thy would have been. 84 stitches from my fingers to the middle of my forearm. Torn motor nerves, ligaments and muscle. It was a very unpleasant sight looking down at your arm and you could literally see all bones, ligaments and muscles torn up. Took a lot of physical therapy to get all my movement back, but I still don't have feeling in the top of my hand. Just lucky to have my arm!

Gun shot to the back last year at our work place shooting.

the worst...think I was about 10-11 maybe, around Christmas time and we were pretty poor that year and got a Charlie Brown tree that had to be put on a table and was still probably about 6-7 feet tall. The table had 4 corners, not some round thing. Mom always got us ornaments each year and this year I decided my ornament from the last year (a dumb fucking knitted chicken hawk looking thing) HAD to be at or near the top. The only way I was going to get that ugly piece of shit there was to stand on something and would still have to stretch. As I looked around the living room the only thing I could think of to get me that high (insert Meet the Parents pool scene here) was a broken down ottoman. This thing was picked up on the side of the road by my cheap ass dad b/c it looked like it was in good condition and fuck it...it's free. The base of this bitch was screwed into the cushion and only had 2 screws that actually held with the other one barely hanging on like a kids loose tooth. The last one wasn't even there! Anyway...I brought the ottoman over to the tree, (remember the tree is on top of a table), grabbed my Chicken Hawk and got onto the ottoman. As I stretched to get that mother fucker up there the ottoman started to wobble, just as I let go of the chicken (at the top) the ottoman gave way. As I was falling my head hit the corner of the table and peeled the skin back from the hairline of my forehead to what felt like 5 inches back. It was probably only an inch or so from what my older brother told me. Anyway...35 stitches later (some inside some outside) I thought all was done except the healing. FUCK NO!!! The doctor in his infinite wisdom stitched my head too tight and my head retained fluid to the point that it had swollen to the size of Lou Ferigno's face when he had The Hulk make-up on. Had to go back to the emergency room and get 5 stitches taken out and my head cut open in order to get a drain put in. They wrapped my head like a turbin and off I went. A few days later the nurses ripped that drain outta my head and I finally healed properly....I think.

Merry Christmas Muther Fuckers!!!

Was more referring to the stabbing and gunshot but I am sorry to have made you open those deep husker wounds.
But what I’m feeling now is that you were not actually stabbed or shot. And the joke over my head was that husker football sucking is worse than those things happening.

Neither of those sound like any fun. I remember that being your work but didn't remember you getting shot.

Stabbed: left thigh about 3 inches above the knee, again not like the movies it wasn’t even close to being serious. (still hurt bad tho)

Shot: Left hand, palm directly below my middle and ring finger. Thankfully it was a ricochet shot or I would have had more damage than just 2 scars and fingers that don’t work perfectly.


Heart broken: I binge drink and watched every second of a 3-9 team thinking we would win every game. Again… far worse mental and emotional damage done to me by Nebraska Hut Hut
 
I was once got shot by a silver bullet by a lady that thought I was a werewolf...
 
When I was 8, I stood too close behind my buddy and he swung the golf club around and whacked me in the head. Ended up with 8 stitches
Similar happened to a classmate of mine when we were in middle school or maybe a touch younger. His was a baseball bat. He took a helicopter ride and flatlined while in route to the city but ultimately pulled out of it and is alive today.
