That just about killed me. Four different doctors kept misdiagnosing me.

Needle was removed and spent 5 days in hospital because I got an infection and then became anemic and had to have a blood transfusion..this when I was 10. <BR/><BR/>I fell off a bunk bed on the top of a chair and hurt the groin area..was in hospital for 5 days..developed an infection.<BR/><BR/>How's everyone doing today?Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-46065191990086369362008-07-13T16:21:00.000-04:002008-07-13T16:21:00.000-04:00Again, HUGS to you and DD.The worst injuries I've ...Again, HUGS to you and DD.<BR/><BR/>The worst injuries I've had? Almost all dance related...<BR/><BR/>Tore the ligaments in both my ankles... twice (yes, 4 times total)<BR/><BR/>Put my hand through a plate glass window playing tag when I was... 10 I think.

Age 12 I stepped on a piece of glass and had stitches in my foot. Age 15 a bicycle accident were I sprained my ankle, knee, shoulder and got stitches in the other knee. Age 16 I broke my neck while a passenger in a car accident that left me a quadriplegic. Luckily nothing since!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789653932116458002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-76425214443384578992008-07-13T14:11:00.000-04:002008-07-13T14:11:00.000-04:00Hmm... the only stitches I've had were when I had ...Hmm... the only stitches I've had were when I had to have my evil spots removed (have some in my temple right now. Real attractive). I've never been badly hurt though, except a few bumps and bruises. My worst was a fall out of the fort we had in the rafters of the garage. I think my head hitting the wheelbarrel broke my fall. Wasn't hurt though.<BR/><BR/>My DD sliced her foot open a few years back. 14 stitches. I hope your DD mends quickly!Ceri Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584297798290334430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-59035621066348947262008-07-13T13:58:00.000-04:002008-07-13T13:58:00.000-04:00Oh, poor DD!

I'm fortunate...no really serious injuries other than a broken wrist when I was 8 (fell off the swingset), a sprained ankle in college (fell down the stairs...don't ask), and a badly bruised back (boomeranged off a trampoline at a college party...again, don't ask) ;)Allie Bonifacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334745422433097012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-83235242037979751082008-07-13T13:15:00.000-04:002008-07-13T13:15:00.000-04:00Well, I gave birth surgically, twice.

Was absolutely fine until they told me I needed stitches. At that point, I dissolved into a weak-kneed, crying puddly of panicky goo. They nurses STILL talk about it, I'm sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-11025397246480927862008-07-13T12:31:00.000-04:002008-07-13T12:31:00.000-04:00YEOWCH!!!
