What were the worst injuries you have ever had? How did they occur and what were the outcomes?
My list:
Sprained Wrist (4th Grade)- It was a long time ago, but I still remember it. I was playing soccer and me and a kid from the other team (I should mention that he was quite large) and I were going for a 50/50 ball. He knocks me over, then procedes to fall onto my arm, spraining it. The worst part of it was that he was hurt too, so this fat child was sitting on my sprained wrist, making it even more painful.
Broken Arm/wrist (5th Grade)- I tripped in the street outside of my house while running to get a ball. My neighbors laughed at me because they thought I was faking it, but it turned out to be so bad that I needed surgery. It didn't break the skin, but the bone was misplaced and was sticking up a few inched right by my wrist.
Broken Arm/wrist (5th Grade)- Yes, I broke the same arm, in the same place, in the same grade. Luckily, this one wasn't nearly as bad. I walked home, never shed a tear and only wore a cast for four weeks as opposed to sobbing in the middle of the street and spending six weeks in a cast that didn't let me move my elbow.
Sprained Ankle (6th Grade)- The day after Christmas, I was putting a present in my room. I ran down the steps, as usual, but this time I fell down the entire flight of steps. The sprain was bad enough that I needed a cast and crutches for a few days.
Concussion (7th grade)- The first week of school, my soccer team had a tournament. During the first game, I had a breakaway. I shot (and scored, of course) then peeled away from the goal to run back to our half. Problem was, I didn't go far enough and I ended up running head-first into the post. I was knocked-out for a minute or so, but I didn't have any permanent damage or memory loss.
Sprained Ankle (9th Grade-This year)- During a practice for my high school's Freshman soccer team, we were playing a friendly game with our team. I had just crossed a ball and my worst enemy, Mike Novello (I've never understood why, but he has always hated me) slide tackles me from behind (which would be an automatic red card in a real game). The initial injury wasn't so bad, so I went back on a few minutes later. That's when I tweaked something that made it hurt so badly that I couldn't even lightly touch it to the ground without it being extremely painful. I was on crutches for a week.
