I dropped a machete on my hand today. Ripped off a large chunk of my thumb and hurts like a mother######.

Anyone else have problems with dropping things on yourself?

EDIT: Got a picture. Taken after about ten hours under a Band-Aid.

I dropped a lava rock on my toe when I was two, seriously messed up something on my little toe.

More recently, four months ago, I dropped a nice big heavy wooden bench on my big toe, causing the nail to get all bloody and infected, and forced a new one to be grown.

But that's about it, aside from minor bumps and objects. I'm not that suicidal.

The last painfull incident of mine was when Shinobi kicked me in the mouth and I bit out a large chunk of my tongue.

Can you imagine if I was deranged?

As that picture was loading..I was disturbed and thought it was something else...some kind of a sick joke...then I was relieved by the thought, "no, he'd never do that" and I was right...

I'm one of the clumsiest people on the planet, yet I've never managed a broken arm, leg, back, hand, head....etc.....good genes

however...

My little sister was swinging in this double swing thing....and there was a screw missing and she pushed it as hard as she could, and it went straight into my head, and I have a 1 in. scar there...our babysitter didn't do anything, (as I was bleeding profusely) she continued with days of our lives.

Whatever happens..happens.

The last serious wound I had was when I took out the trash and there was broken glass in the trash and when I lifed up the bag to put it in the dumpster, I got a nice gash on my leg. About an inch. Was about a centimeter in width before it was stiched up.

I drop pens and papers on myself all the time due to trying to hold way to many and slipping. I also dropped a tape measure on myself a few minutes ago.

I don't often drop stuff on myself. I do, however, tend to knock things over from time to time, but that tendency comes and goes.

I'm always dropping my windsurfing rig on me. And giving myself rope burns.

At the moment I can't write because my fingers are bandaged up after a weekend sailing. I've taken all the skin off'f one knuckle, which hurts really really badly. Really badly.

Last time I hurt myself by dropping something on me was when I worked at the shop and accidently dropped a brake drum on my foot. Broke something in my foot which an ACE bandage eventually took care of.

Allow me to give you 2 reasons as to why you should wear steel toe capped boots.

Firstly, my toe as it appears 3 months after dropping something on it, and breaking the edge of the nail, thus creating an in-growing toe nail, which then got infected.

Secondly, the same toe as it looks currently, several weeks after that first picture, and after the doctor burnt it with silver nitrate.

Enjoy

You should wear flip-flops or sandals or barefeet in the summer - when you get a suntan on your feet it makes you feel like the bee's knees. It's awesome.

...and...

Eeeew.

And Jam, everytime I wear sandals now I stub my toe, which I'm sure you can imagine, hurts like a mother-######er.

Technically, I specialise in sailing, but I'm good at that so I don't wipe out...

You surf?

Yeah...well I havn't in a while, but I'm still partial to surfers. Where I used to live I would windsurf everyday, but now that I've moved inland I havn't had much of a chance. I suppose I could at Lake Tahoe...but the water is so flippin' cold I don't know if it would be enjoyable. I actually only tried "real" surfing this summer when I went to Hawaii. That was awesome, I'll have to get up some pictures.

Lektor that is totally manked. You should get it looked at my a surgeon. What was the silver nitrate supposed to do? Make it hurt even worse? It needs a local injection, pulling off then bandaging up so a new one can grow.

That is the plan, I've been put on a referral, which is going to take 5-6 weeks. When that happens, they are going to take it out, but I'm not sure if i want it to grow back, incase it does the same bloody thing again

Oh and the nitrate was to create an artificial scab, where the flesh was exposed was leaking stuff, and the nitrate burnt and sealed it. it did actually make it feel better...
