Some more of my previous injuries. Well, when I was nine, I was running to weekday school when I blacked out. When I came to, a gate hinge found its way into my forehead. The doctors in town were able to glue and tape the thing together again, but he said it was 1/6 in. away from my brain... oh dear god...
The next time an injury happened was two years ago, at 16. I got into a car accident and rammed the thing into a tree. I hit it with such force, I broke my femur. You all know how strong that bone is, so yeah. At least I had my cell phone with me at the time. I was sent to the hospital and had to wait until the next day for surgery; I didn't remember when I had lunch, and you all know what surgery and food does to a person. Now, to this day, I have a titanium rod inside my femur with screws at my knee and hip. I can't run for long periods of time, but I plan on getting the son of a bitch taken out because it's pissing me off to no end.
What can I say, I'm prone to injuries. It's a damn curse I tell ya.
I'm really very clumsy, so I get injured a lot but nothing too odd. A lot of pulled muscles, huge bruises, sprains. But when I was 4, I tripped on a rug in my grandparents' house and slammed face first into a coffee table, it was a bloody scene. I think my grandmother panicked a bit but my parents got me to the hospital. They had to tie me down to stitch me up. So overall, pretty traumatic...lol. My grandmother still has the coffee table with the marks. Fixed me up okay though, I have about 3 scars under and around my lips, but you can't really see them.
On the topic of mysterious injuries... I woke up one morning in university unable to move my right shoulder. I had to massage it and 'break' it lose with my left hand and I had to do that almost every morning for the next 10-11 months. Then it went back to normal and has been ever since.
I assumed that I injured it somehow, but I don't know how.

Two of my best and most disgusting injuries
Once when I was riding my bike in sandals(!), I fell over an underestimated roadside,and rubbed off half of my big toe.I had a 1/2 big toe,a big curve in my front tire,and several bruises on my stomach from the speedometer ,and the shifter.
And ome time I went out for a little running,but had to turn home because i had a contracture in my quadriceps.Days later I discover i got a 25 centimeters bruise in purple and red on my leg.Probably a medium schism.:D
Where do I start?
Well, I've got a white line below my lip from where I once bit through my flesh whilst fainting for the first time ever. In the shower. I came to on my side and I was running in circles round the walls and the door. Not fun.
Alos, I've got a two marks in the shape of an arrow and a diamond on my left wrist. I'd just started snowboarding and wasn't exactly good yet. At the top of a chairlift trying to get off I fell. That didn't do much, but the snowboarder that slid over my wrist certainly did. The scars are from the metal rods they used to reset it. Turns out I'd also burst a liquid sac in my hip or something like that. Didn't learn that for about three months though. I still don't walk right, and that was six years ago.
More recently though, I was thrown to the floor in a pair of handcuffs. No, it wasn't a kink of any kind, nor was I arrested. It was in a rehearsal for a play. Anyway, I've got kind of a sperm cell shaped scar forming there now.
EDIT: I forgot about the Nike Swoosh on my cheek from a falling keychain below my eye.
One of my friends accidentally kicked me off a huge inflatable slide at a party, and I woke up in the car on the way home with no memory of what happened.
I also lost a tooth when I hit my face into the sofa, even though it barely grazed my mouth.
Also, because I play (field) hockey, and nowadays most people buy the newer carbon fiber sticks, which hurt like hell if you're hit by one, even more than a wooden one. I tripped over my one when I was playing and ended up getting it snagged in my shorts, giving myself a wedgie as well as a huge bruise for a couple of weeks.
I have two injury stories I would like to share. The first is when I was maybe four years old, I was being a reckless little kid at my grandmother's house. I jumped and jumped on her bed, until I had jumped off onto the floor. Felt like I had kissed the floor as I landed mouth first, knocking a loose tooth free from my gums, however, I don't spit it out, I accidentally swallow it. It has to have been the weirdest feeling I have ever had.
The next story is a few years later. I had a collector's baseball I had gotten on a vacation to Iowa, my sister wanted to play catch with me terribly, I kept telling I didn't want to get it dirty, I turn around and start walking away when I get this sharp pain in my temple. My sister threw the collector's ball at me, smacking me upside my head.... had a goose egg there for a few days, which hurt quite terribly. Funny enough, I still have that same ball to this day.
