Crashed my car 12/2/22 doing 120 trying to escape domestic violence while heavily intoxicated. Broke my spine in 7 places my L2 burst into 4 pieces and they grenaded through my back tearing open my spinal canal, my calcaneus exploded, now fused from T-11 / L4. Calcaneus was “pieced together the best they could with the pieces big enough to put a screw through” and now has a plate and 11 screws.

I was in the hospital for almost a month and half, initially couldnt feel or move waist down and couldn’t use the restroom on my own. Walked again 4 months later

Car Crash Left Me Paralyzed 

I had a really bad fall and got a severe bruise, and then another bruise happened a week later where is circled but there’s a hard lump over it! Should I be worried, it feels so weird to touch

9 years later and I still can’t really feel that side of my forehead 

It’s not too bad compared to most of the others

Got myself with an exacto and I think it hit bone 

On 9/26 I sliced off the side of my pinky down to the nail. I documented the healing process for others to see as it was a big unknown for me how long it would take to heal. Today marks 3 weeks and I can finally put pressure on it without shooting pain. It is numb in the center. No clue if the sensation will ever return as it cut through all layers of skin down to the fat layer. I went to the emergency room, recieved pain meds and an antibiotic for 10 days. Was instructed to keep it covered with triple antibiotic ointment, change dressings 2x a day and cover with plastic wrap or tegaderm for showers. Pulsing and nerve pain lasted 2 weeks. Advice? Get a knife glove 🤮

I bent my foot a very unnatural way and now it’s swollen and I can’t walk 😊

While handwashing a broken glass, photo taken in day 2

(2 years ago)
The day of. I came home immediately took off the wrapper and sat outside in the rain and drank. Dumb 19 year old.

It gradually became warmer and warmer and the ink ebagn to bubble. It then began to get hot. And then sore. And I still didn't realise anything was wrong.

It started to get wet. The ink was slopping out and it was painful. I began to clean it thoroughly and took pain meds.

It began to fall off. Parts of the ink never got to stick and the wound got extremely dry.

Now it doesn't look anything like the image it was originally and is extremely splotchy. I've gone back to get it done up several times since. 

I have several other tattoos now that have been properly cared for and look great. But this one is the largest and ugliest.

From work a few years ago

<div class="md"><p>Is this a bite </p>
</div>

My 2 year olds leg is it a bite?

Went under kneecap into joint, synovial fluid was bubbling out. Suprisingly only hurt at the initial puncture, then I got up and walked away with no pain at all, even throughout healing. Be careful snowboarding in the trees, friends!

dislocated shoulder

the top layer of skin is dead and was kinda hanging off initially, but then it stuck on with the blood… was thinking of trying to pry it off but it seems to have become something of a human bandaid. maybe it’ll come off by itself?

bitten while separating a dog fight 

As soon as it fell I dropped everything and tried not to hyperventilate. After a few seconds, I got over it but realized my foot hurt still. Looked down and had a visible lump through my sock. Took my sock off and saw this. It freaked me out from how lumpy it was ngl. Hurt to walk for a day but by the end of the night I was alright. Going on day 3 and it’s still swollen and a little blue but not in much pain.

Dropped the metal kitchen trash can on my foot while wearing socks

Fell down some cement stairs. 

Don’t play football near a sharp iron rod

Don’t fall on very rough concrete while trying to drop off a ramp in a skate park

Don’t fall over on a sharp tree stump

Don’t stick your finger into a vacuum head with rotating brushes 

Watch where you step… sharp metal sucks.

Ouch. 

Prolonged exposure of a 5% lidocaine HCl patch to external heat. Ironically I was using the heating pad while sleeping to soothe an already injured shoulder and the lidocaine patch was on per usual for chronic pain around T7 due to my 16 vertebra fusion. Isn’t it magical when harmonic variables convalesce to land you in injury^3 ?
