Double ouch!! I split the end of my finger wide open with a hammer, missed the nail completely. Of course you know what they say about left handed carpenters

How about driving the button on top into your head. Done that a few times.

Because of damage to my lower back I don't bend right, so I am always bumping into the cupboards over the sink or the stove vent at my home.

Me too, way to often, you'd think I would remember. Nope!

If it sticks out or down it's probably caused a headache or some bleeding at some point. I guess that why my daughter gave me that big first aid kit with lots of Tylenol and band-aids.

Split top of my head open (7 stitches) on the edge of pin box on the last 5th wheel..got the white hard hat....

Went to emergency room with full towel wrapped around head. Towel was full blood red by the time I got to Emergency Room. On entry to the emergency room...emergency techs gave me immediate registration and treatment....before other patients passed out..

Sold the 5th wheel..still have hard hat.

That's one way to cut through the red tape at the emergency room. Kind of tough though.

That made me laugh, What follows is a true story. Years ago my F-I-L stuck his hand in a snow blower and mangled the two middle fingers on his hand. While sitting in the waiting room with his hand wrapped in a bloody towel waiting to be seen by the doctor, another doctor happened into the room. This doctor ask my F-I-L what he had done and before he could answer the doctor showed him his hand with his little finger curved away from the others and said; "You know what I did a few years ago?" "Stuck my hand in a snow blower"!

I was trimming the grass around the fiver and hit my head on the overhang. This is the second time I did this. I am beginning to think I need a hardhat also. Just looking down and not where I am going.

You are welcome to borrow mine. Wait a minute , Then I will sure miss it. I better hold on to it just in case.
