Ok guys..this is really really dumb..
I was about 15 yrs old. We were playing football in the local park and the ball got stuck in a tree. Instead of climbing..we used to throw stones at it..try and knock it out.
It was about 30-40ft high in the tree and I picked up a piece of solid stone about half housebrick size. Positioned myself directly below the ball and underarmed it straight up..bang!...direct hit...
Well lol!...instead of keeping my eye on the stone..I decided to show off and to try and catch the falling ball on my foot. A second or so after the ball hitting my foot..the stone came crashing down and hit me square on the left brow/bridge of my nose..
Felt like being hit by a hammer..amazingly though..my nose didn't break. My face was covered in blood with a nasty gash along the bridge/brow..but I was still standing..albeit stars everywhere lol! I think if my brow haden't absorbed some of the force..my nose would've just exploded..so I was pretty lucky. Also lucky it has left no trace.
Never broke any bones or anything like that. Something else that I can remember is bending down to stroke my uncles dog..when I was about 10 yrs old.
I scared it by accident..and it lept up and bit me straight in my right eye. It left a gash on my eyelid and I had to wear a patch for weeks. The doctor said I kept my eye..by a fraction of a millimeter..luckiest I've ever been in my life....
Then there's slipping in the bath and putting my elbow straight through a Nivea cream tub..went to hospital with it attached to my elbow..but we won't go there lol!...
Jees..I do blab on and on...lol
