When you last accidentally hurt yourself, how did it happen?

Yesterday, I accidentally backed in to a metal clothes rack at Walmart, scraping my right shoulder while waiting in the self checkout line. Ouch. 😑

Two months ago, went to take out the trash and a tuna lid went THROUGH the damn bag to cut me...ughh. luckily I washed it quickly, only small amount blood.

@REMsleep I do it too..put the lid back in tuna can..my sister had cleaned up and was in a rush so jus t tossed in trash. 😐 ty REM

@REMsleep tuna cans are recyclable
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@Alisha233 I'm sorry but I already do more than anyone I know to recycle and my husband won't help me because he thinks that I don't have time for all of the washing and sorting which I don't. We have no recycling pick up in my neighborhood so I have to sort, box and drive all of my trash to the recycle center with those people finding a few items each time to throw back in my car. They don't take cans. I can't spend anymore effort to find a place for cans.
I give all aluminum cans to my mom because she takes them to the scrap yard but they don't take food cans either. So yeah not happening. Society needs to make it easier.
I was raking leaves and fell out of the tree. broke my arm

Totally dislocated my wrist.
My hand was actually hanging off to the side fortunately, no torn muscles or skin.

@Alisha233 I stumbled and instinctively put my hand out to catch my fall, my hand went in-between two boulders and pulled it right out of its socket.

Drove home and because of the pain knew I wouldnt make it to the ER. Fortunately my neighbor was home and drove me there.

@Alisha233 sorry, you asked how did I reset my hand.

At that moment when I saw it, I tried not to focus on the sight of it, or I might go into shock. (It was like a horror movie.)
It took everything within me to put it back in the socket. I dared not focus on the sight of it but focused on the cure.

Told myself, that the pain cant be much worse than it is now, so I grabbed it and proceeded to set it right back into its socket.

@eyeno so you did it yourself? In tough situations, not thinking too much and just taking action..doing what you needed to do is a great response 👍

Cat. Scratched me. Blood everywhere. Good riddance for tetanus 👀
@Rilyn Yikes. Your cat or someone else’s ?
Rilyn · 31-35, F
@bijouxbroussard A stray. It's my fault. I got too over excited petting her.

@Rilyn Ugh. I actually got septic once from a cat fight to my foot. Insidious and lovable little creatures.

A few months ago I was carrying my rolling laptop case, my purse, a snack in my mouth and a binder under my arm.
So needless to say I couldn't see well due to carrying the snack in my mouth.
I was running down the front steps...
Recipe for disaster.
I ran off assuming that I had reached the last step but I hadn't yet.
I fell face foward over the last step with my knee caps taking the entire crush of my weight on concrete. All my food and papers went flying and my knees were bruised for 2 weeks.
I have only just now been able to lift my leg to put on my socks.
I haven't hurt myself that bad since childhood.

My kitchen nearly exploded on me. I hurt my wrist and hand during Covid 2 years ago, it has never healed, and I was trying to put things away into the kitchen closet. It ALL started to fall down on top of me.
Alisha233 · 31-35, F
@4meAndyou buried alive?
4meAndyou · F
@Alisha233 VERY close. A glass casserole with silicone cover was at the very top, and it fell on me at the same time as the plastic popcorn popper, and a big box of gallon size ziploc bags, (which fell OUT of the box and ALL over the place), and fortunately I had enough presence of mind to catch the glass casserole dish and let the rest of the things fall.

My right hand has NO strength or dexterity left, so I have a lot of trouble storing and moving things over my head.

i was late for class and didn't want to step on the flowers outside my house so i ended up tripping on the grass in front of everyone, so embarrassing lol

Hot oil to middle knuckle last night. Turns out it can't blister, so it just kind of sits there and hurts.

Feel better.
