The worst injury you have ever had?

[Pipehog69]

I ruptured my Achilles a year and a few days ago, age 30. Didn’t really hurt as bad as I thought it would, surgery was 3 hour outpatient procedure, and I’m more or less the same as before the injury. Surgery is amazing these days.

Great news you recovered well. My cousin snapped his achilles about 4 years ago. Then he snapped it again a year or so later. He does not have nearly the functional movement at this point, but he's approaching 50 yrs old so that might be part of it.

I was 44 when I did mine. I am 51 now and I would say I am 90%. Still run/jog but not as fast but then again...I am getting older by the minute.

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

Care to share the stab and gun shot wound stories?

I assume both happened on the playground in Falls City before the age of twelve.

Moved to Falls City when I was 14 bruh


Summer going into 8th grade we moved from a wealthy neighborhood around a lake outside of Grand Island (where my family was firmly considered middle class) to Falls City where my classmates were already going through a tin of Cope longcut per day and legitimately thought my Dad got paid a million dollars per year cuz he worked at the hospital. (To be fair, $200k per year in Falls City in the early 00s might as well have been millions)


Since I graduated High School I’ve been around the world a few times (literally), I’ve spent extensive time in Europe, Africa and India, I’ve also worked all over Nebraska and Kansas. I can confidently say that Falls City is simultaneously the most white trash and also one of the wealthiest rural areas I’ve ever been.



The dichotomy/juxtaposition of this makes it truly a unique place.

Same. I once had to get staples in my head though. I was like 4 or 5 and was trying to watch the nude part in Caddyshack. My sisters caught me and chased me under our fireplace. I lifted my head up real quick and cracked it open pretty good and bled al over the place. Luckily dad is a doctor and loves his staple gun so he shot me up.

My childhood friend's dad was a vet and casted/wrapped his kids regularly, which I didn't know how to think about as a child. Now I'm thinking "should dad perform medical procedures on their kids even if they're MD/OD?" I hope he stapled perfectly.

I thought only women had labrums....

What is a woman? And how do you find the Labia? Is it close to the mythical clitoris?

Yeah. After he Killed two of my mentors/co-workers. He was shot with a 12 Guage from 10 feet away by the terminal manager.

I remember this now, but was blanking while reading a few posts in this thread. How is everyone that survived doing in the Superior area?

Nope, it was my left. I will never take for granted having 2 arms though. The simplest things were hard as fuck. Tying shoes, applying deodorant and showering.

I posted in the MLPFC shit posting thread about my great grandma getting re-married on her 80th birthday. What I don't think I mentioned is that he had an arm amputated just below the elbow 50+ years before officially becoming my step-great-grandpa (or something). The reason I mention this is because he always had bad BO. I now understand that you can't apply deodorant with interchangeable hook/grabber/stick prosthetic, so he could only apply deodorant on one side of his body. And also, the leather harness that held the prosthetics was probably hard to clean.

I'm not sure how he did shoes or showered.

Torn ACL, Torn Meniscus, and No Cartilage left in my right knee. Ran track for three years with no ACL and then, did the additional damage to it.

Getting better with time, my man! A lot of restless, nightmare, filled nights with little sleep mixed in with PTSD and some depression, but looking up more with time. Something that will never go away but it doesn't dominate our lives as much as it did for 6 months.

Regarding PTSD: Time > booze



The VFW selling alcohol at cost only does more harm than good.

8th grade I was throwing upper 70s pitching, had a good amount of arm pain after each outing and would ice it. Season ends, I go to Canada for 2 months to fish, come back and start my fall routine to work on pitching and I can’t break 55 and had a shooting pain up my arm every time I threw. Go to a orthopedic doctor and my parents talked to him after and told me surgery is too expensive and I was better at golf anyways 🤣, to this day I don’t know what’s wrong with my arm but assuming it’s not great. Hurts like hell to throw a football but a baseball is ok and I can throw about 65 now.

Only injury I’ve had besides smashing my finger between a boat and a rock and not wanting to pay for a float plane to go to a Canadian hospital so I have a goofy looking right ring finger now.

Here it is. You took being full of shit a bit far, imho

"I had a perforated diverticulitis in my intestine, which also created an abscess. In other words, I had a leaky pipe in my gut that was putting fecal matter where it doesn't belong. This creates a number of really bad things. 3 1/2 hour surgery, 10 days in the hospital, but now home. Great care from everyone at Sanford Health in Sioux Falls, I can't really sing their praises enough. I'll have a colostomy bag for about 3 months and then another surgery to reverse it."
