Senior plans are due by April 30th! Please let us know what your senior's going to be doing after they graduate!

And since sharing tiems is always fun, tell me players, what's the worst injury you've ever had? Because, seriously, we were all kids (or we're clumsy) and sharing war stories is always interesting. Me? Someone once dumped a bowl of scalding water on my thigh. HUGE second degree burn. Worst pain I have EVER FREAKING FELT IN MY LIFE.

Fractured my back falling off a horse. Oh yeah. I'm awesome.

HOLY CARP. That just SOUNDS AWFUL. How long was the recovery?

When I was 12, I put my elbow through a wall in dance class. My ankle stuck and my upper body kept going. I blacked out from the pain, was super pale when I came to, tossed my cookies and ended up in a sling for like a month.

GRACE, I HAS IT.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. You broke it, I'm guessing? Or tore something? Or just sprained it SEVERELY?

... I once accidentally stabbed myself in the hand right under my index finger. It nicked the nerve. For over a year, if I pressed a spot on my palm, my index finger would literally contract on the spot.

I still feel it sometimes when it's cold out, like a frickin' war-wound except stupidly self-inflicted.

Oh, and then there was that time last fall where I fell and fractured my jaw off a desk. That was fun.

I was totally trying to groove out some choreography to some Zeppelin in dance class once, and my moves took me to doing a drop into a left side split.

I can't do a left side split.

My momentum made me do a left side split.

I can't listen to "The Immigrant Song" without feeling phantom pains in my hamstring, which was strained for about a month after that...

...the shoulder injury I got from wrestling practise that actually made me have to drop the sport because it was too painful to grapple after that was pretty bad, too.

Bruised my funny bone badly.

IRONICALLY? NOT VERY FUNNY.

I REMEMBER THE JAW INJURY. I've managed to avoid ouchies near my face to that degree so I cannot even imagine.

But, omg ow, YOU HIT A NERVE. Nerve damage is no joke and I can't even imagine having to deal with that sort of thing. DUN STAB YOURSELF.

One of my vertebrae went crunch and it took about 9 months before I was fighting fit again. I still have muscle-related problems to do with it and that was about 6 years ago now, but it's finally getting fixed!

OMG SPLITS. OMG. My hamstrings hurt just THINKING ABOUT IT. I've pulled hammies before and holy crap, they hurt and TAKE FOREVER TO HEAL. Stupid muscles. STUPID.

You are the walking wounded! Hammies and shoulders! Covering it all, aren't you?

IT DOESN'T SOUND IT. Holy crap, that must have been bad if they slinged you up for a bone bruise. I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE OW.

Omfg, it suuucked. I was afraid to run anywhere for several weeks. All I managed to eat for a week and a half was pureed food and I spent fourteen days souped up on painkillers. And now I have to deal with having a removable plastic simulation of my three front teeth jammed up against my palate.

I swear, it was so freaking weird, and it never stops being a weirdass spot on my body. I'm not kidding when I say it still hurts when it gets cold. Or gives off weird (now dulled, thankfully) pain signals if I press my finger on it.

And, um, 23 head injuries ranging from mild concussion to a brain lesion.

No comments from the peanut gallery, smart asses.

YAY GETTING FIXED! That still makes me cringe because omg ow. Talk about injuring a part of yourself that YOU REALLY KIND OF NEED FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.

!!!!!

STOP FALLING ON YOUR HEAD.

Srsly. I had a helmet on and everything and I managed to knock myself out with the force of the fall anyway. And then because of the shock to my system, I couldn't move. So when I could finally move my feet (after I'd calmed down a bit), I was all "I'm okay! But could you please get rid of the ants? I fell in their nest. Thanks."

Haven't been on a horse since, but I'm determined to have another go.

Yes, I plan on avoiding any jaw injuries because holy craaaaaaaaaaap. I couldn't deal. I'd probably cry everyday and HATE PEOPLE THAT COULD EAT STUFF AND TALK AND STUFF. YAY PAINKILLERS at least.

And I've never freaked up any nerves (YET) so that's another one so I can only imagine how that feels. I broke my ankle a few years back and it ACHES when it gets cold or rains but it doesn't contract or anything weird so OW.

Stop inflicting pain on yourself omg!

Third degree burns on the underside of my chin. When I was three and we were living in England, we had an open paraffin heater in the house that was put behind a chair so I couldn't get to it. So I climbed up on the back of the chair to peer over and fell, landing with my chin right on the heater. My mom heard me scream and ran in to pull me off -- I left flesh sizzling on the heater. Fortunately it was under my chin so most people don't even see the scar until I'm standing over them for some reason.

And then there was the time when two axes fell on my head. Oh yeah, I got war stories.

I uh, had a netball post fall on my head when I was eight! My friend was swinging around it and it wasn't secured and I was standing in the wrong place.

It hurt. A lot. But probably not as much as it would've if it hadn't knocked me out for a few seconds after...

That's sort of tied with slamming my finger into the car door and my mum locking it.

I was afraid to completely straighten my arm forever because I thought it would lock or something.

IDK I was twelve.

But yeah I still get random pain there even now.

Clumsiness, bad luck and recklessness while playing sport are the culprits. Thankfully it doesn't seem to happen anymore. I'd like to keep it that way.

Since I'm listing them all off - left wrist fractured 4 times, right wrist 3 times, dislocated left shoulder 3 times, dislocated right shoulder twice, cracked ribs twice, dislocated jaw (shot put sucks), dislocated elbow (I hate everything), broken nose, broken little toe (I was drunk, my own fault there), fractured collarbone, sprained knee, sprained ankles galore (don't play netball) and sprained wrists.

Oh how I wish I was kidding.

Hahahaha, I love that you were concerned about getting the ants off of you WITH A BROKEN BACK. Truth be told, I'd probably do the same thing. Or I'd shriek and try to get them off myself which probably wouldn't have worked with a busted back.

I'm still all OW over here. OW.

OMG BURNS. I can so relate to burns. Mine was only second degree but seriously, SO FUCKING PAINFUL. I was in college and CRIED LIKE I WAS A WEE TINY CHILD. I cannot even imagine a third degree burn ON MY FACE. OW.

Also, WTF AXES!!!

HOW ARE YOU NOT BIONIC? I would have thought they'd replace your banged up body with titanium by now! WHAT HAVEN'T YOU HURT?

OMG YOU PEOPLE AND THE HEAD INJURIES. I once took a softball to the head but it seems to pale in comparison to things falling on your head and knocking you out. STOP PLAYING NETBALL.

...AND WHY DID YOUR MOM LOCK THE DOOR WITH YOUR FINGER IN IT?
