Worst injury/close call - Page 2

Last message on previous page:
They really didn't have a choice.. They had a staff come in, introduce themselves to me as the team that would be 'working' on me should I fall into a coma or die.

9 dyas in the hospital turned out be to $60,000 in costs.. for some reason, the hospital decided to compensate me for it and not charge a penny. Remind you, this is 1993 or 1994.. before medical expenses were considered excessive.

I had a full team on staff constantly for 3-4 days. They sat and slept in the room next to me..

The odd part is I've since been in worse conditions.. I've had loaded guns pointed at me, knives pulled on me.. and I haven't flinched. I know the feeling of death.. I remember laying on my bed while the paramedics arrived that day.. I wanted to sleep so bad but something told me to stay awake.. and I did. Had I gone to sleep they said I would have gone into a coma.
I don't fear dying anymore.. it's not painful except for a few situations to consider. I live my life today without regret.. very few people can do that. If I died today, I wouldn't complain. I've done everything I could have hoped to have done given my circumstances.

When asked what my regrets are in life.. I have no answer. I regret nothing.. it's made me, for better or for worse.. yet I stand today as a person who most often people look up to... either with my insane ability to drink non-stop or the fact that when faced with something crazy, like death, I don't faulter. I've been so close to death so many times already.. how often does one have a knife pulled on them? A loaded gun?

I've been stabbed in the leg before.. I've had people shoot at me before.. I've faced things most people wouldn't think of facing..

My flaw is that I don't show emotion these days.. I laugh. I don't get depressed, I don't get down.. I don't wish for something better.. yet I don't always show my excitement or happiness.. because I know it can all end so quickly.. I've faced it. Crazy stuff.. yet I'm here still, somehow.

Shite mate, I am sorry to hear that. That's a tough go.

I was Fine, I hope you didn't think it was my gramps . It wasn't.

big BHS (i don't know if that's internationally recognized) store:
can't remember my age, but i was playing with the upwards escalator (the rubber thing on the side that goes up along with it) can't remember how it happened, but i somehow got my hand stuck on this thing (i seriously can't remember if it was my fault) and started getting pulled up the escalator on the outside, hangin on (it would have been a few floors fall).
I started screaming and luckily my mom heard me and she ran up the escalator and pulled me over (it was a really close call, two or so more metres and i would have hit something (can't quite remember what, i think it was another floor (the escalator going up a narrow slot in the ceiling) where i wouldn't fit holding on)
Anyway, that's probably the only close call i've ever had, and i don't think it has effected me emotionally because i was so small i barely remember it.

this doesn't really qualify as an injury i know, but it was a close call

My closest call was about a year ago me and some friends went riding atv's and i was going about 60mph and my brakes locked up in a very muddy field, i got down to about 40mph and ran straigh into, well actually over, a huge ditch about 4 feet across and just drove onto the road. after that i though what would of happened if i would of went into the ditch and flipped my 650lb atv onto me on solid concrete, while going 40mph, with no helmet.

Hm, close calls, eh? I've had more of those than I care to remember and it still gives me the chills when I do. Everything from getting mugged with a knife to my throat to getting caught in a whitewater river as a kid to coming withing inches of a cliff after a tumble...

Although I have to say that it's a lot scarier now, thinking back on the possibilities had the fickle lady luck not smiled on me, than it was then, experiencing the moment.

pussy.

unfortunatly this: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/foru [...] 43_50.html

NH you Noob.

Oh. My first posts were in 1999 or 2000 i beleive but i wasn't the same then. We all change that's all.

I actually posted in the "upper" sections for a few months before finding the other down here.

I tore the ligement in my left knee cap when I was 19.

And at 17 someone crushed my leg and broke my shin with wet, dirty timber.

Got a blood infection and ended up in hospital for two weeks.

No. I am now the undead.

Please use my rotting arsehole for your own pleasure.

*awaits arse sodomy..*

Is it in yet...I don't feel a thing govenor.

Good evening Tom.

I still see that your trip to Lego land hasn't affected your ladyboy trips on a Friday night.

Hope this helps.

Chunty.

Legover being the first thing on your mind.

edit for spelling

I remember when I was about like maybe 4 or 5 i had boiling water spilled all over the upper side of my right arm and somewhere on my chest..... i was rushed to the hospital and it was so late at night....they had to peel the boiled skin off my arm and stuff....and i still have the mark on there....

I once punched this aggresive, womanising drunk c*nt in the face and his head hit the concrete.

His worst injury was hitting that concrete.

Thankfully, he didn't gain a blood clot from the experience and I was able not to be charged with anything worse than affray.

Again, I can't stipulate enough:-- he was an aggressive womaniser who got in my face.

The concrete meeting was his doing.

Although in this country, if he'd died, that would have been a manslaughter rep on my sheet. And, under certain circumstances, fair enough too.

my worst injury was at 19 and the truth is i am not sure if i died or not...

Better off than on.

Just ask Wingie.

What happend to my pump???!?

Hey, Dana Delaney was hot....


But yeah, the Rosie parts were pretty bad...
