I literally stabbed myself with a safety pin the other day. A. Safety. Pin. I always stab myself with them. They just don't work on me.

I sneezed while doing yoga and ended up with a reasonably sized bruise on my forehead. I wasn't even that far from the ground, too.

Wet flip flops. Butt surfed around the house until daughter came home to get the crutches out of the garage. Sprained my ankle pretty good. This was not the first, or even the sixth time wet flip flops have tried to kill me. I can't even claim youthful ignorance. I'm a grandma. And sometimes, an idiot.

I fell asleep sitting at a hightop table in sports bet at a high profile Las Vegas casino. I'd been up 36 hours, 12 playing craps. Woke up at the hospital a few hours later with three staples in my head and a b*tch of a concussion.

I used to twist my back a lot to get out any tensions and loved the feels of the cracks. But then I got a shooting pain going from my lower back all the way down my leg, and my hip was killing me. It got so bad I need a couple rounds of physiotherapy. I've been okay since and haven't done the twisty thing as often.

I ran into a pole. My glass smashed into the side of my face, just missing my eye. You could nearly see my skull. Memories.

I was standing on the step between our front porch & sidewalk taking a picture of a UFO because I didn’t know what it was (it was maybe an ultralight helicopter or something like that). I was focused on the sky and trying to get a good shot and forgot I was on the step & fell off of it severely spraining my ankle. It’s been 14 months and it still isn’t back to normal.
When I was younger, I was playing with some friends at a pavilion for a picnic. We were going up the steps in the back to go onto the stage, not running but walking fast & just being silly. The last step I hit the top of my foot against the step, my parents didn’t believe that I was seriously hurt, so I ended up walking on it for 2 weeks before going to the doctor. I fractured my first metatarsal then ended up getting a stress fracture on my 5th metatarsal because I was babying the 1st.
(Both happened on my left foot, in between the 2 accidents, I also had 2 surgeries on the same foot but nothing related to the accident)

I "borrowed" my cousin's motorcycle. I made it about 10-15 miles (I was going really fast), and then I crashed. My cousin failed to mention that it slips around on gravel. I ended up with little rocks stuck in my knee. On the way home, my cousin pointed out to me that I had the rocks stuck in my leg and that I was bleeding. I shrugged it off, and went home. My grandmother screamed when she saw, although it honestly didn't hurt too bad. I have a few scars from it, but it was fun anyways.
