'Bout a "4 gnash torn into my leg. Pretty bad. Bled everywhere. I was playing dodgeball and there was this electrical outlet with a metal piece over it and it stuck out about 2-3" and I dropped to avoid a ball...which I did. Had to go to the hospital, 8 stitches on the muscle and 12 stapled to hold it closed (outer skin that is) ------------- Don't believe everything you think I can resist anything but temptation |

This is why I love the internet: everyone wants to see and I can provide pictures...with no contact. In real life, I pull up my pant leg and then people start poking and prodding it with their dirty, infected fingers! ------------- Don't believe everything you think I can resist anything but temptation |

Here's the whole story. So I fall and slice my leg. I fall on my butt and am laying down. As I am getting off, I get nailed so I'm out anyway, but then I see red. I felt the leg hit, but thought it was just a scratch. The gnash is to the BONE, 4-5 inches long and maybe 3/4"-1" wide at the largest. I pull it closed and walk across the gmy. Immediatly a few of my friends grab me and sit me down. Another kid takes his shirt off and puts pressure on it (Cory's shirt, Cory and Carroll as putting pressure on). Someone runs to get people, so many people are standing around, I'm laying on my back and I am handed Advil and a Water Bottle. At this point, no pain, just scared I was going to bleed out. It was a massive cut, to the bone like I said. So, we keep pressure on for 2-3 minutes and the sub teacher just stands there like a moron. Well, finally the nurse, principle, etc come in. I begin to go into shock and twitch while they start wrapping my leg. Bleeding has stopped at this point. They call an ambulance and get to the hospital where they numb it up...half-butted. I didn't feel the stitches, but I sure as HECK felt the staples! That was...hell. ------------- Don't believe everything you think I can resist anything but temptation |

Nah, not until they took off the bandage, put iodine on it, poked it, scrubbed it, and injected the numbing agent into and around the wound like 4 times and then the staples. Stitched were good, but the staples were killer. ------------- Don't believe everything you think I can resist anything but temptation |

I didn't know that theres still Dodgeball in Public Schools.
My injury today is minor, I have no kneepad on one leg, so I kept scraping it all game, bled a little, now it jsut stings and hurts when I move or touch it. -------------

i got hurt in gym earlier this year, but it was funny.
were playing this wierd game called hangle ball that my new school plays in gym.. (Ball is on the top of a poll on opposite ends of the field and theirs 2 teams and the object is to hit the ball off the poll. If you get tagged while you have the ball you MUST throw it to a teammate, and if you get tagged then throw it at the bal on the poll and score, its the other teams ball) Anyways, I was running at this kid to tag him before he got close enough to the pole to have a easy shot, and he jumped up to make it easier and i ran by him and slammed into him and got a knee to the 'nads at full speed. Needless to say it tickled. |

Sure we would. I remember back in 8th grade PE. There was always this one fat kid that nobody liked acting like he was better than everybody else. He would stand within 5 feet of the boundry and scream "C'MON!!! HIT ME!" And he would try to dodge the balls in style, which never worked. There were always 7 balls in play. The opposite team would always wait 'till all the balls are on their side and throw all of them at the kid at the same time. The kid's face was so red. It was hilarious. -------------
