I gave myself a black eye the other day!!

[cheermom1]

I was feeding the dogs and leave their food behind the door in the bathroom - I was putting it back and forgot my head was still there and slammed the door into my head!!

I felt myself go down and get really woozy then the stars, I yelled for my dd for help, she came in and looked at me asked me what I did - told her and she gave me some meds and said I'll be needing these as I have a huge red bump on my forehead! the next couple of days after that my eye was real sore and then it turned into a black eye ..

I felt so stupid ...

BTW this is not the first time I have hurt myself like this - good grief what am i going to do with myself ..

I would start by focusing on where my head is at all times.

knew something was coming

thanks - one time ran right into the wall at work right after I was hired IN front of the BIG boss!

he teased me for a long time after that and wanted to know if he needed to get maintenance to clean up my blood as I hit my nose - well you can imagine what that was about

 

[wdwtweets]

Sorry about the black eye but you have to admit that it's a funny story. At least you got that out of it! Sending PIXIE DUST for a quick recovery.

Now that takes some special talent! Glad you didn't have a concussion. Imagine if you had to explain that in the emergency room.

this must be the week for woops moments! I skinned my nose and got a blood blister (which I poped) on my toe.

My mom gave herself a black eye by wacking herself in the eye with her laptop on her lap! No one believed her!

So you aren't the only one!

well at least I'm not the only one that does things like that LOL ..

one time my dh gave me black eye in his sleep he felt so dang bad about it - he elbowed me when he turned over - anyway that day at work a woman came in with 2 black eyes and a broken nose while her dh was being arrested in the parking lot - then the next day I show up with a shinner, needless to say no one believed me when I told them he didn't mean to he was asleep I promise ... he called me and asked if it was black, I told him it was, he really felt bad and tried so hard to make it up..I felt bad for him b/c of how bad he felt ... try explaining that to your co workers after the day before of the woman that was beat up showing up. oh yeah that was a GREAT day..

My mom managed to slip and fall in the kitchen a few months ago. Apparently, my dad had just swatted a fly and scooped it up on the fly swatter. He was carrying it toward the sink where my mom was standing and she tired to jump out of the way so he could put it down the drain. She fell flat on her face and her glasses gave her a nice cut above her eyebrow. Over the next few days, she developed a lovely black eye. They would go into restaurants and people would look at them funny. My dad was sure that people thought he had punched her!

I know the feeling all too well

 

[OK!]

Don't feel silly about that injury--check out either of these threads and you'll see that you're not alone. My posts alone in both should make you feel infinitely better about the situation. One of them resulted in my first-ever tag, actually. Lol.

 

[OK!]

Crap, and I just remembered another one. I had a REALLY bad 4th of July this past summer and that night, when I was still too upset to sleep, I started cleaning house. That normally makes me feel better, but when I went to take a bag of trash out to the dumpster, I completely forgot about a shattered jar that I'd thrown away earlier in the day. The bag was heavy and the handle-ties started sliding out of my hand, so I wrapped my other arm around it to hug it to my chest and sliced the holy hell out of my left arm. Thankfully it was a relatively straight cut, but it was about 2.5 inches long and at least half an inch deep. I could see subcutaneous fat. GROSS. I had been drinking when I was out with friends before the night went south so I couldn't drive myself to the hospital and was too embarrassed to call anybody for help, so I patched it up the best I could and went to bed. Bad plan. I went to an Urgent Care center the next day with my ugly tape job and ended up spending about 2 hours there (more than an hour and a half was just spent stitching my arm closed) and having to get a tetanus shot. Let the good times roll!

LOL that reminds me of when I was 16 - I was dating this city guy and I lived in the country - we went to a friends house in the country on a farm. I was showing him around and we were in the field, I decided I didn't want to walk all the way back around so I was going to jump the bard wire fence

well I think you get the pic. I had a really BAD gash on my leg and had to have stitches. Yep had to explain that to the er

 

[cheermom1]

I have another one - I was around 14 and my mom was preggo with my sis - anyway I went outside and was board so I thought I would ride my bro's bike (he was not home) I saw the ramp he made so I ramped the bike?? well I went sliding all the way down the dirt road on my side. ruined my clothes and I was so mad at myself b/c I had torn my self up all down my side to my knee... I went inside to clean up and tried not to let mom see. I didn't want to bother her with it, however a mother knows when something has happened as she came in the bathroom and asked what I had done this time and if she needed to take me to the er again??

yep I was the one that was always in the er, not either one of my bros but me..

I was putting it back and forgot my head was still there...

I'm sorry, but I just laughed out loud at this! I'm sure it hurt like heck, though.

Now, I'll tell one on myself. Feel free to laugh.

My husband and I were walking back to our car after having lunch at a restaurant. We were passing through a courtyard area and I spotted one of those metal stands/boxes that hold free, local newspapers. I hurried over and quickly bent down to get a paper. I failed to notice the large metal bar above the box, and as I bent down to get a paper, my forehead smacked into the bar and caused me to bounce backwards. Major OUCH!

Even though it hurt like crazy, I started laughing. All I could think about was how funny it must have looked. My husband didn't see it happen, nor did he hear the loud thud that resulted from my forehead hitting the metal bar. He did hear me laughing as I caught up to him. I was laughing even harder as I tried to tell him what I had done. He just looked at me like I was totally nuts and said he hoped I never break a leg, because I would be absolutely hysterical with laughter.

It really did hurt, though, and I really felt like a fool for not seeing the metal bar. I had a bruise on my forehead for quite a few days.

A friend of mine fell down their basement stairs, broke her arm and ended up with a nasty bruise on her cheek. Her DH took her to the ER and they wouldn't let her go NEAR her in the room. They kept asking her questions about "do you feel safe in your home", etc. She kept telling them she knows WHY they are asking but "I really DID fall down the stairs". It took 4 hours for her convince them she was safe at home, other then being a klutz .

this reminds me of when my dad hurt myself a few months ago.They kept asking him the same things yeah like my mom has it in her to hurt my dad

mom said it took them about 3 hours for him to convince them that mom didn't do it...

Ouch!!

Lots of makeup for Christmas morning or no "full face" photos..

Feel better!

 

[cheermom1]

Here is one I forgot about till now - about a year ago I discovered mineral make up and the brushes that went with them, only thing is brushes are dangerous as my eye discovered one day when I crammed it into it and saw stars ..

Note to self do not cram make up brushes into your eye as it hurts and makes you see stars..

 

[OK!]

I'm sure you all can imagine the looks we got when I went to a Cardinals game several summers ago with my parents roughly 2 weeks after I'd fallen and broken my forearm. My mom had had rotator cuff surgery a few days before, so when people saw me in my full-arm cast and my mom in a sling walking with my dad, well....
