» Ouch!

Various injuries through the years;
-Stabbed in the shoulder with a pencil by my brother, though it was my fault, I got him in the eye first. Still have a little blue tattoo from it too.
-Had a 3” splinter in-between my big and second toe which snapped off under the skin.
-Stepped on a few floor boards with nails sticking out of them, straight through a boot into my feet. Queue comedy shambling about with board stuck to your foot trying to get it out.
-The ubiquitous stepping on lego and plugs (always hurts way more than it should)
-Broke a leg falling down the stairs (blamed my brother, even though it wasn’t his fault – I was a little shit)
-Dislocated a shoulder on the first day of a skiing holiday.
-Slipped a disc in my back while picking up my shoes-so very lame.
-Been concussed by my brother (again causing trouble) while fighting each other with lengths of rolled up carpet. Eyes glazed over and couldn’t stop laughing manically for a couple of minutes, then a headache for a couple of days.
-Dropped a log onto my big toe, the nail went black and I pulled it off. A weird experience that one, always reminds be of the movie the fly.
-Don’t know how I manage it but a couple of times when I have been running up stairs with bare feet I somehow manage to catch my big toe on a step, then I manage to bring my whole weight down on top of my toe that is now bent under my foot. Amazed that I have never broken it before.
-Stepped on a sea urchin while on holiday, who knew their spines are barbed so really hard to remove?
And the classic I can always find all shin high objects in my house in the dark.
