ACCIDENTS

[AussieMark]

Are u Accident prone or very clumsy and have some funny stories if so why don't u share them with other Storm2K members.

HUGELY accident prone. Mainly seems to be due to my lack of grace and coordination despite 10 years of ballet when I was a kid. Might be due to my big feet ALWAYS getting in the way too. Have managed to break all of my toes at least twice.
Funny story-DON'T LAUGH TOO MUCH-
In junior high, we had to run past the volleyball field to get out to the track. I was running ahead, turned my head back to talk to someone, turned back and ran STRAIGHT into the volleyball net. Talk about a clothesline effect. Snapped me completely back and landed flat on my back, out cold. Huge rope burn around my neck, which some kids thought was hilarious since it looked like one continuous hickey. Two of my girlfriends from then who I am still close with, ALWAYS bring that up when we get together.
Oh, and then there's last summer when it was pouring here at night and me, ALWAYS wanting to be outside in bad weather, stepped into one of my french drains and broke my ankle. Clutz!!!!

I'm clumsy - and don't wish to relive my many accidents. Most of them embarrassing LOL.....

Don't think I'll ever change either LOL....

I'm a clutz, always have been. Wait, correction, I'm more careful now in my old age. LOL I've sprained my ankles probably about 8 times now, once I cracked a bone and needed a walking cast for 2 months. Doc said it would be small, short and I could easily drive with it. Ha! Had our 5 speed Jetta back then and just walking to the car was a challenge - the cast weighed a ton! I remember sitting in my car trying to minic operating the gas, wondering how in the world I'd get home. People driving by in the parking garage kept thinking I was ready to back out. I sat there for the longest time, panicky, thinking I'd need my husband to come get me. But somehow, block by block, until I got on the highway I made it home. LOL Once I sprained an ankle at a formal company dinner. Worked at a doctor's office so I never wore high heels, just uniforms and nurse-type shoes. I turned my ankle going down the steps at a nightclub. Yes, a few beers were involved and those annoying high heel shoes.....LOL Next day that ankle was swollen and everyone at work was laughing, as I limped over to the hospital for xrays. Just a bad sprain that time. Now I walk very, very carefully. Being my age has it's benefits - you don't just run blindly out the door or down the steps anymore - you walk!

Many years ago I was walking past a floor model television cabinet and caught the corner of the cabinet between the 2nd and 3rd toes on my left foot, broke the #3 toe. I have webbin on those two toes on both feet and that was the reason the toe was broken.

Yep, I'm a clutz. New shoes seem to be one of my enemies. Those slippery little suckers will send you down a flight of carpeted steps faster than you can spit!!!!!! I broke a rib that way.

I also had a broken tailbone but won't give (details)lol of that incident.
