The most ??? experience of my life....

[Krynus]

Ok peoples.... my speech teacher had us do a short, two minute skit on something personal in our lives, titled the above. And I heard some pretty interesting things. So it should do well here. I guess since I posted this I should be the one to kick it off so here goes...

The most painful experience of my life...

I was in the Army in Germany at the time this happened. Our unit was being deactivated and all of our tanks were gone, so there was nothing for us tankers left to do. So, they had us doing stupid shit like raking leaves, painting lines on the roads, etc etc. Anyway, me and about 3 other guys were mowing the grass around this tennis court. We had one mower to use, and it was a bloody messy thing, spitting grass up in the air and all. Anyway, I was standing there, waiting my turn, and the mower went over this rock. The rock was roughly the size and shape of a golf ball, and it shot out from under the mower like a bullet and hit me right in the nuts. Ouch!!! And man did I go down. No damage though, thank the gods.

Ok people, have at it...

The most painful experience of my life...

I was a seventh grader playing soccer with the ninth graders... I was in a zone... I'd scored two goals already and had broken away with the ball to score my third... one of the older guys (on my own team) was kind of disappointed I had just faked the goalie out of his shoes and earned a hat trick and while I was at an all out sprint he pushed me from behind... head over heels I went... I landed on my head and shoulder. My collarbone broke upwards, everyone could see it but me. Then the hospital misplaced me and it took about four hours for my parents to find me. The hospital couldn't treat me until my parents said "okay". That is the worst I've ever endured, knock on wood.

Pain? Every time I get a new tattoo!

There was one time when I was about 13, when I slipped on some ice on my way home from school. I thought I'd put my hand in some dog s**t, until I realised it was blood and that I'd split my hand open down to the bone. The painful bit was having it sewn back up without anaesthetic. I screamed louder than a 10 year old at a Spice Girls gig!

[kortag]

Okay I was about 6 or 7. I was walking around with a coat hanger pulled streight. Great for whacking things..you know. So I saw an outlet..an electrical outlet. I put the wire right into the socket and for some reason not only shocked my self, burned my arm somehow, but also skinned both my knees,and put a nasty lump on my head when I fell to the floor in convulsions..
That hurt somehwat.

[Quail]

I've been qiute lucky really as I've never had anything really painful happen to me but one event that comes to mind that did hurt happened when I was about 11. My Nan had given my litle brother a dart board and a set of darts and we were in his bedroom playing when I started to tease him, he got angry and chased me with the darts in his hand. I ran down stairs and was heading to the kitchen to slam the door in his face when he threw one of the darts at me which stuck in my arse.

[ShadoeWolfe]

OK, since we're nearing the Christmas season - here's one for you.

I was 5 years old, it was Christmas Eve day. My parents were gone for the day shopping and my aunt and uncle were watching myself and my sisters. In our tv room, we had a fireplace with a 200 pound limestone mantle up above. I was just tall enough to reach it if I stood on the lower step of the fireplace. Five years old, I was into climbing...I thought it would be neat to hang on the mantle...so I did.

Unknown to me, the frequent winter fires and fans blowing around the fireplace had slowly but surely dried out the adhesive holding the mantle down and the only thing keeping it in place was it's weight and position of balance atop the brick facade. So as I was hanging there, the postion was shifted, the mantle started moving and crashed down on a five year old boy - me. On Christams Eve!

Summary of injuries: Broken left arm (I'm left handed so that sucked), broken nose, 5 stiches right between my eyes, and I was a walking horror show with my cast and scabby head. Did it hurt? Well, the pain is gone, but I will never forget lying there Christmas Eve night unable to sleep because of wanting to pull those damn itchy, nasty, evil stiches from their place in my skull!!

Ok, a little dramatic, but it was pretty nasty for a five year old. At least I thought so at the time.

[Allen W]

Well, let's see....

I came down with the chicken pox two days before my 21st birthday. Of course all my friends were planning on taking me out and getting me plastered, but NO, I had to spend two weeks on my butt watching daytime TV (which in America really blows).

[Canker]

OK...motorcycle accident...Got cut off by a car coming out of a side street. Person driving didn't even look....I avoided the car but not the sand on th eside of the road at about 45 miles an hour. Bike kicked out from under me...I hit the ground...rolled...and came to rest...would have only had a few broken ribs and a sliced open knee cap at that point but the bike came bunny hopping along the road after me...and landed on me breaking my leg and wrist. Biggest issue....I had rolled through some poison ivy so I had the leaves stuck in my sliced open knee...2 days after I was in a acast and covered head to toe in poison ivy and was on steriods to get rid of the rash. *L* Awful miserable then.

[Dragutin]

I've got 3.
Walking on a 50' wood utility pole when I was about 4-5 and the dam thing started rolling, I fell off toward the way it was rolling and it crushed my leggs. I blacked out but after a couple of days I was OK.

I've got to agree with Canker on MC crash. This guy comming toward me cut left in front of me then stopped. Like a deer in headlights god how I wish I was driving an 18-wheeler. Anyhow I hit his rear quarter panel and took flight, on my 3 or 4th roll my helmet came off and I recieved a concusion. Injuries Right knee ripped open, Concusion.

THis was pretty bad to 6yrs old, Fell into a pile of leaves and couldn't get up. Started crying and my uncle picked me up. A board was stuck to my knee with a nail in it. Hurt at the time but healed quickly

[Rixy]

Mine was a motorbike accident, who said they were dangerous? Last year I was on a dual carridgeway (small freeway) when the idiot in the outside lane suddenly realised that they wanted to take a slip road, so she pulled across without looking and took me out. I was doing about 70mph at the time and all i can remember is sky, ground, sky, ground, sky, ground, A&E.

i thought I'd bust all my rib's and legs, but I hadn't. However 18 months later I've got to have reconstructive surgery on my knee which will mean 4 months in traction. Time to dig out the Necroscope series again I think :)

Cheers

Most Painful experience.

2 years ago, I fell down stairs at my home, (No, I wasn't bladdered before anyone asks-I just slipped.lol.). It must have been about 13 steps and as I landed I realised I couldn't breathe very well.My wife rang the ambulance and as I was starting to pass out they came.

When I got to hospital the doctors diagnosed that I had broken 4 ribs and one of them had punctured my lung. I had also fractured my collarbone and had concussion. As anyone who has been unfortunate enough to puncture their lung, they will agree that it is a very frightening experience. The pain comes later.

[Titus]

Try to picture a 5 year old who loves to climb. Said moron then, while getting ready for a bath, climbs (naked) on to a smooth laminated box to turn a light on. Slips and manages to get a leg either side of a corner on the box. Being young his legs don't reach the floor before the corner reaches a sensative area.

Loss of dignety as you lie on a hospital trolley with your ankles behind your head as someone puts stitches in your sack.. is far worse than the pain!!!!

If anyone out there is wondering....
I do still have a trouser full of working appendages.

oh yes, spelling isn't my strong point!

[StevieC]

well i ain't had any real painful experiences . Had plenty of bumps and scrapes tho' . One of my "favourites" was falling off a 14 foot wall whilst having one drink too many . Was really happy to fall face first and smash some teeth .
Got a true story about a friend of a friend . This guy is a little bit wild and got stabbed one night after a street arguement. When he was taken to the casualty department he said to the nurse " don't worry about me , i ain't punctured a lung " . The nurse wandered why he knew that and asked how he knew . The reply . " The last time i got stabbed i got a punctured lung so i know how it feels "

A painful experience.Let me see. Well there was this time recently that I had to get a reinsertion (body piercing) in a part of my body that is very sensitive. That REALLY hurt.

[Szgany]

Canker, that has to be the most horrible story I have ever heard, talk about adding insult to injury, ouch.
When I was around 11, I was outside playing after a flood, without shoes like an idiot, and stepped on a board with 3 nails, all going in to the hilt. The nails were as rusty as a nail can get, a bad infection set in and I spent two months in the hospital, extremely close to losing my leg the whole time.
To make it worse, my family was bringing me presents the whole time. My grandfather brought me some crayons and scissors so I wouldn't be to bored. I got tired of cutting paper and decided to cut my I.V., luckily the nurse came into the room, saw what I had done and yanked the iv out of my arm before the air bubbles hit my viens. Came very close that time.
I've had several brushes with death, thank goodness im still here : )

[Goth Girl]

Karen, m'dear, I can sympathise deeply with that one! Ouch!

[Vormulac]

Painful, hmm? ... Well, lesse, there are many options for me in this scope ~chuckles~ Well, not so. I've never been much of the weakling. I have a rather high pain tolerance... except for toothaches, toothaches kill me like you wouldn't believe ~chuckles~

But, since this is "the most ??? experience of your life" I suppose I can shift the subject matter.

The most emberassing moment of your life.

Now this is something I've a good grasp on ~laughs~ .... most emberassing moment that I can think of was prom night about 4 or 5 years ago. I was a mere Sophmore at the time, and my older sister was a senior, so this was a big event for her, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, me and a bunch of friends decided to skip prom altogether and just get totally plastered at a party. Well, suffice to say I learned the hard way that mixing liquors can spell disaster. I don't remember to much of that night, but my friends have pictures of me, completely naked, running up and down the corridors of the apartment building the party was in, with beer in hand! ~shakes head, chuckles~.....

Can anyone top that? ~laughs~

I don't know about embarassing ( please forgive any spelling mistakes I'm in a lot of pain!)

This started on New Years day, a cramp like pain in my left knee. went to the hospital after work as it had became worse thru the day. They said it was an infection in a Varocise vein. Antibiotics and watch it over the next few days.
It got worse so I went to the doctors, poss DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), off to hospital again. Ment to be there for the night...out in 2 hours, no DVT they said.
Just over a week later I,m back at the doctors, severe swelling of the calf. Back to hospital, this time for a scan.
I now have 2 blood clots in my lower left leg. Very painful, very dangerous, very upsetting. I'm 26 years old and I could be facing a life time of scans and drugs to stop clots from forming and killing me!

I am not happy!!

[Patrick]

I've mentioned my most painful and frightening experience, but my happiest experience (apart from the birth of my son Harry) might seem sad and pathetic to the majority of the people on the board .

It was on 26th May last year when I travelled to Barcelona and watched my team win the European Cup. I have to say, I do not believe that I will experience more emotion that night for the rest of my life.

I am open to criticism about a shallow life I have had it, especially from my wife, but there you go.

[Lichloathe]

Patrick my mate, I so envy you, being there for the triumph. I'm a soccer fan for 15 years and never before in my life have I felt more intense after a match. It was the way it turned, it was the years of waiting for the Cup. Words cannot describe the feelings but I know that if I was in the game or in Manchester I'd be acting like crazy after the match.
Enough said. Glory Glory Man Utd!

"Though thou seest me not pass by,
Thou shalt feel me with thine eye
As a thing that, though unseen,
Must be near thee and hath been;"

[topol_sheap]

Wow, the most painful thing I every went through was when my mate hit me in the head with a golf club, now that really f**kig hurt. If it was an inch nearer my eye, I would have been blind in that eye, and if it had been an inch the other way I would have been dead (so I have been really lucky). The most annoying thing about it was that I didn't pass out, I really should have as it would have made my life a little easier for the next few hour as they stitched me back together... what made it more painful was the slight chipping of my skull, bruised bone and no anaesthetic made it to be very painful. more than that was the fact the hospital didn't clean me up properly and I had to walk through dublin looking like a really stupid fool, the police stopped me due to the blood all over my face. My friend didn't feel the need to mention the mess that he had caused.

But the most ironic thing was that I didn't even get to tee off, that really hurt paying for a round of "pitch and put" and not pitching or putting, but being picthed.

As it turned out it was a very bad year for me..... but that's another story for another time.

[Emaleth]

Has to be losing any loved ones, whether or not it was a family member, close friend or pet.

I have lost a part of all three, any physical hurts just do not compare to the loss of someone you love.

[topol_sheap]

very profound, ema
