What is the worst injury that you have ever undergone?
For me I'd probably have to say.. the time when I was around 6 or 7 years old I believe and we used a woodstove to heat our house. Long story short my Dad and I were walking in opposite directions between where the woodstove was and he accidentally bumped me off my balance and I (luckily) reached out and caught myself from falling whole body onto it.
I ended up with a 3rd degree burn (on the verge of fourth according to the ER nurse) across the entire palm of my right hand, you could see the skin melted away from the center and peeling off and everything. I luckily can't remember what it felt like, all I remember is literally seeing my hand smoke and hearing it sizzle for that split second before I pulled it away.
So that's (from what I can remember) the worst injury that's ever happened to me, I think a close second would be when a pot-pie not even 10 seconds out of the oven slid off the plate and into my shoe, if I could've pulled my foot away it wouldn't have been so bad but that wasn't the case as my shoelace was double knotted, and I had to sit there with that 350+ degree pot-pie burning the poop out of my ankle while I tried to untie it.
So that's mine, what's yours?!
