SO...I was talking with a friend earlier, and recounted an incident that led to today's question...
What is the dumbest way you have ever been injured?
I have to give you two answers, because I can't decide which one is the dumbest.
#1 I was getting in the car, on the driver's side, and stopped to talk with a neighbor, one foot in and one still on the ground. As I was just starting to lower into the car, my ex got in on the other side, rocking the car and throwing me off-balance. I actually slammed the car door on my own throat Took the better part of 30 minutes to convince the ER team that I wasn't a battered woman! I think the fact that I was laughing like a hyena helped convince them.
#2 At the time, we had a wonderful German shepherd (she adored my cats) named Lady. I took her for a run one night, on a route that took us down a fairly gentle hill. For some reason, Lady stopped dead in the middle of the road, and I tripped over her, going airborne! I didn't stop until I ran out of leash, and landed on my right hand, crushing the first knuckle of my index finger! Imagine telling the doctor, "I ran out of leash!" Lady, I am happy to report, was NOT injured in the slightest.
