Question

I broke my wrist in 3 places and had to have k-wires inserted for it to heal correctly....

The funny thing is I did it falling down THREE! steps!

Unfortunately there was a small gap and then steps going up and I hit my wrist on the edge of the step going up!

Answer 1

I broke my foot. And my story does challenge yours.

I was getting the kids ready to go out, brushing my teeth and filling the diaper bag at the same time. The cat had tried to jump onto the stove, but missed and fell into the dog's water bowl, spilling the water everywhere. I came around the corner to the kitchen, and slipped on the water, and went flying across the kitchen floor. My foot stayed flat on the ground but my body went forward. Ouch.

Answer 2

I broke my little toe in a really dumb way.

I was 17 and thought that I was a looser because no one asked me out on New Years Eve. It was probably 4:00 New Years Eve and I hadn't given up hope, just my pride.

The phone rang! It had to be some hopeless boy asking if I was doing anything that night. I ran through the house to answer the phone and caught my little toe on the leg of my parents bed. It didn't matter. It was only my girlfriend Nancy.

Stitches - more than 6 times, all over my body. Staples - in my head, 5th grade. tripped on shoes laying on the steps & rolled down Im sorry about youre wreck, glad youre okay. But I just put my back pack on while i was sitting, it will take some getting used too, then got my crutches & stood up. I laid them in the floor against my desk while I was in class. :)

I broke my left arm right above the wrist when I was 12. Lovely compound fracture. How? Jumping on the ottoman and it tipped over and I went down. Yes, I was TWELVE and still jumping on furniture.

Answer 5

Thirty years ago my son left his stilts next door I went to fetch them and thought "Why walk, when you can ride". and of course I fell off them and broke a finger. Being a coward I told no-one until now. Ah! confession is good for the soul.

Answer 7

My husband broke 2 ribs running next to the pool on holiday. The funny thing is he told the kids not to run next to the pool of they would slip.
He should have followed his own advice!!!!

Answer 8

I broke my nose (not a real bone, I know) because I got it caught in the car door. I was leaning in to grab something, and it swung shut, and the latch clicked. So, there I was, in my friends driveway, trapped, with my nose in the car door.
