What are some of your worst injuries and how did they occur? If you want you can say when it happened and why it happened, but you don't have to. What was your worst?

Leo, did you get the $100? I've never had any really big injuries. Physically, I mean. So I feel out of place as well...

The reason I feel out of place is because I HAVE had serious injuries and it seems like everyone else hasnt

I twice had someone with my ankle and than when i was playing volleybal, i jumped and just fell. After that i had to have fysio therapy. Suddenly i couldn't walk from the pain. It turned out that i needed two surgeries and i can't play volleybal anymore..

That sucks:P

My worst injury has to be when i was bench pressing 300 pounds and i tore a muscle in my shoulder but it wasn't that bad i didn't have to have surgery or anything.. i almost tore my rotator cuff and I'm glad that didn't happen or i would have to have surgery. Another injury i had was in 6th grade when i was playing football and i got a hair line fracture on one of my ribs, and in 7th grade i broke my index finger by playing football again.

This one was actually a couple months ago for me. I tripped down the steps (WOODEN STEPS). After I stopped rolling I cut half of my foot open on a glass picture frame laying around. Ugh.

I was biking up this hill then my wheel veers over to the right and I fall straight onto the asphalt. I scraped me knee and my arm really bad.

fysio therapy


I'm willing to bet vontje is Dutch. That's how they spell &quothysiotherapy", which is essentially remedial movement-assisted-based therapy for musculoskeletal wellbeing. And if that didn't make sense, I'm sorry... I'm just really tired >_<

Not so ninja moments in the life of Strop:

1) Broke some ribs playing soccer. I play goalie as that's arguably the most ninja of positions to play (last man between the ball and the goal, if you let it through, incredible shame be upon you!!!) I happen to specialise in one-on-one situations and penalty shootouts. This time, it was a one-on-one, and the striker was dribbling the ball towards me so I herded him to the side, rushed him and swooped on the ball in the nick of time. To save the goal. Not to avoid his foot which instead found its way right into my ribs.

Broken ribs suck because it hurts to breathe for weeks afterward and you can't do much about it.

2) I fell out of a tree once and broke a small (useless) bone in my foot, thus proving that horses should not climb trees.

You be national...ist...
Fysioterapi is a quite commonly used word in north Europe.

Point taken, note that I only said willing to bet, not actually bet anything tangible :P

What about the username, though?

When I was in 4Th or 3rd grade I was in the gym with my friend. It was snowing outside and my school didn't have buses so we waited for our parents to pick us up. I was following them and some of theme jumped on a wooden bench and I was right behind him so the bench fell on my left tow. I went to the nurse and she gave me some ice and I felt better. I was in my bed trying to sleep but my toe was hurting me so I went to the nearest hospital with my dad. At the time we didn't know there was a hospital specialized for kids so we waited a long time. I thing we waited from 10pm to 7am finally my dad got fed up so he barged in and told them to do something. All they did was do an x-ray. Turns out my toe was fractured. The good thing is that I got out of doing gymnastic and got to go street to sport when I was healed. The bad thing was that I couldn't go to recess and used to wait on a sofa.

I have been injured many times. I've been shot many times. I think my worst was when a Mortar round went off by me and a few other people. Shrapnel got me in the back so I stood up and then a bullet pierced my shoulder. I was in the hospital for a little over a week, then I was shipped out again.
