Who's been to A&E? and what for

[FizzyWolf]

I've been in A&E for a slashed elbow, pain in the lumber region and a broken arm.

[LFC_SL]

Broken leg. Double fracture in my femur, just above the kneecap. 4 hour operation to put 2 pins in. Still have the scar

[FizzyWolf]

How did you do that then?

[LFC_SL]

Football.

Innocuous as well. So innocuous I tried to walk around at first. Collapsing on the floor was the first hint something was afoot

[gerryman62]

Can match you on the broken arm - both bones snapped. 2 days inside. 3hr op to insert plates and pins.

Again football to blame !!

gerryman 62 Just a few questions if you dont mind. I have just come off the phone to a relative who has just told me they also have a blood clot and are having to take warfarin and go for blood tests every other day, how long ago was your problem how are you now and has this problem caused you to be off work.

I cut my head open on a kitchen unit when i was about 7 or 8. My dad took me to A&E and they put that glue stuff onto it. Took a few hours to sort out from my dim childhood memories.
LFC_SL - a mate at school broke his leg playing football, went up for a header, next minute a crack was heard and he was on the floor.

ive been a few time's, came of a scooter and ripped my lip in half on the handle bars, once for a major mountain bike crash, popped my shoulder out! once for a big deep cut in the palm of my hand from a big bit of glass and the final time blood poisoning (i'll never go back after this one) - too many smarties at a disco. needless to say, i learnt my lesson that time

[Stuart Kirby]

Yep. Most recently was for ruptured ligaments, a stretched achilles tendon and allegedly some goosed fibres in my ankle around a month ago. Messy.

Painful. And football was the culprit again!

[LFC_SL]

Someone somewhere is trying to tell all of us something

[tapzilla2k]

Probably that football is best left to over played professionals
I was rubbish at football
The arches in my feet have caved in, so no Kevin making a fool out of himself trying to play football like a duck that's lost it's quack.

3 dislocated knees - 3rd time the ligaments snapped and my knee cap went way round the back somewhere!!!

Broken wrist falling backwards through the laft hatch!

Scariest was going their for a bad backache, only to be rushed to ward with Pnuemonia, and 10 days later being let out, with a warning about being hours away from death by suffocation.

Broken nose, lacerations requiring stitches and a "large facial haematoma" after being dashed on to rocks by a freak wave whilst "rock hopping" in a kayak around the coast near Ilfracombe. I looked like a panda for weeks...

More head stitches after locating a rock with my head whilst attempting an inverted kayak descent of Triple Drop on the River Dart when it was in spate.

I have an affinity for rocks.
