Injuries

I know it sounds a bit sadistic, but this thread is for people to write about what injuries they've had lately, and how they got them.
I myself have recently pulled a muscle in my hip while running, fallen off a giant statue, slipped and hit my head while walking in a McDonalds, and just about an hour ago, I got hit in the head with a baseball! (i guess i'm just an accident waiting to happen!)

Hmm. Well I burned myself this afternoon. We have one of those oven-stovetop things, instead of an oven in the wall like a lot of people seem to have, and today I was reaching in to pull out a pie.

My mother was distracting me by telling me to be careful, and I was just turning towards her to ask her to stop distracting me when--you guessed it--I let my arm tilt just a little too much and bumped my forearm against the top of the oven.

It burned the hair right off that part of my arm, and raised a lovely welt. There was even a sizzling sound as the hair burned and the skin bumped.

Oh well--it doesn't hurt that much, but I was extremely annoyed with my mother

Um, if it doesn't hurt that much it might be an indication that you burnt the nerve endings. Not a good thing. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've burnt myself on the stove. Me and cooking just don't mix.

I've got a good one.

I was playing softball yesterday(I play shortstop) and I went to feild a ground ball hit to me when it took a wicked bounce and hit me smack in the shoulder. Well, I kinda turned into it. 'Better to take one in the shoulder than in the face' my old gaffer use to say. Anyway, I was wearing a cut-off shirt, you know, without the sleeves, and it hit flesh instaed of shirt. Left a nasty welt and you could almost make out the threads on the ball. It bruised over night and is a nice purple-ish color now. I love playing softball.

Today I slammed the back of my head on my shelf on the corner climbed down my ladder (feeling reelly dissy) and nearly sprained my ankle. I had to stop doing my homework (Yay) because I felt so dissy.
