Woah! POP. AUGHHHHH! - VGF

So...I broke my left leg. I was attempting to use rollerskates while on a school trip to a rolling rink.
Bad idea.
I fell and landed on my left leg, causing it to go into incredible pain. I was moved to a plastic bench where I lied down until my grandmother came to get me. When she did, it took 5 seniors and one teacher to lift me up (I'm a big guy), and another one ran up saying, "I've got his ass," to help when that started to slip. That was funny.
So now, I type this while sitting in a full-leg cast, unable to move anywhere else besides the bed.

I learned that rollerskating is not for me.

Anybody else been through something like this? How did you deal with it?

GRENTLEMEN · 04-24-2008, 07:44 AM

More like lollerskating.

I've never broken anything, so no.

Tazy_10 · 04-24-2008, 09:54 AM

I pulled a hamstring once.

That is very painful.

I broke my left hand when I was in high school. Unfortunately, I didn't have the moxie to claim that was my writin' hand, so I still had to do all of the work and everything.

You think it sucks now, but just wait until a couple weeks down the line, when it starts to smell. Downright unpleasant, that one.

Rollerskating on sidewalks is incredibly dangerous--I know for a fact, having done it.

Yet I didn't brake anything--it was just freaky.

...Your bone went "pop" when it broke? Something's very wrong, there.

Sorry to hear about your leg. I haven't broken anything, so I can't share experiences or anything. I've heard the worst part of wearing a cast is how itchy it gets, and you can't get in to scratch it. o_O

I broke my writing hand before and I still had to do all the work in school. By hand. I've also broken my ankle and torn my ACL before too. Very unpleasant times, they were.

I'm really sorry about your leg, man. Ouch! Feel better!

Funny you should mention hurting your limbs because just this last weekend, I was playing basketball in my friend's driveway with a couple of friends and his dad. This really tall boy and I were kicking some serious buttock. We were playing over top of everyone's heads and making the best rebounds and the easiest bunny-shots. We won three games in a row! I was doing a little victory dance after a great rebound and my left foot slipped in the grass next to the pavement and down I fell, trying to catch myself with my left arm. Luckily, I just got a severely sprained wrist, and no broken bones, but it still hurt.

Well, actually, it didn't hurt until 15 minutes later when the adrenaline kicked off.

The itching's not that bad for me, since it goes away after a couple of seconds.

Something else to look forward to. Yay.

What really bugs me is that my 2-year old cousin is afraid to get around me now. He just looks at the cast with a worried expression and says, "Chris hurt."

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 04-25-2008, 07:21 PM

Awwww sorry to hear you broke your leg!!! I hope it heals very quickly. And, listen to people when they say rest. Don't go over-doing things. *gives you enough marshmallows to play checkers with*

I broke my right wrist (I write right-handed) last year at the end of ice-skating and ended up wearing the cast for SEVENTEEN weeks. Because I kept doing "things like normal" with it... (the specialist said I could!! She just had no idea what my idea of "normal" is.) I am currently doing exercises on it every day, five times a day, to get the mobility back in it. It's not as much fun as it may sound.

But it's better than listening to ESSDEE telling me she was right all along!!

That's...actually kind of creepy.

I don't think I've actually broken anything before. Sucks to hear about your leg. Hope it gets better soon.

MUSHMAN · 04-25-2008, 07:39 PM

Sorry about the leg. I've never broken anything. I did almost smash my skull open by falling down the side of a very very steep hill(more like cliff) to the rocks below. Lucky I managed to grab a tree half way down, or *draws hand across throat while making the noise I don’t know how to spell*

Get better soon.

LuWEEGEEman · 04-25-2008, 10:29 PM

so... Pop? your leg fell off? huh.

CuccoLady · 04-25-2008, 10:57 PM

I've permanently injured my back falling off of monkey bars, damaged my rotator cuff playing Wii Sports, broken my left wrist getting launched into the air (long story), sprained my thumb recording a little movie with my friends, sliced open my finger by tripping and falling on the non-rubber-covered bottom of a pogo stick, and gotten stitches on my right eyebrow from falling on the metal part of a trampoline.

Injuries suck. I hope you feel better soon!!

Dr. Furball · 04-26-2008, 06:47 AM

Thanks for the responses, guys. Too bad I don't have a digital cast you could all sign.

Crazybirdanimations · 04-26-2008, 07:17 AM

Twisted my pinky once.

No?

Then no.
