I am seriously accident-prone.
OK, I'm in year 8 this year, last year I was diagnosed with asthma, I had an asthma attack at school, got an amublance but like just as they walked in the door I started getting better. Then, (same year) I fell down the stairs onto my spine and had to get another ambulance, this time I did go to the hospital, for 5 hours and still dind't see a doc cause m bakc wasn't that bad (well, it was pretty badly bruised, but I could wait).
Then, this year, the major injuries have been dislocating the 2nd joint on my left ring finger at netball, just before I was due to go to a Scout Youth Forum (I was already late cause I had to play netball) and then I had to go to the hospital to get it x_Rayed and everything, ended up in a sling for a week. Later on, on a scout camp, coming down from micheal's bunk-bed (nothing dirty, I had to get my bunny-ears down from it cause someone else threw them up there) I jumped the last step (just the LAST one, it was seriosuly sad) and my ankle swelled to 4 times it's size and looked like it had a tennis ball growing out the side of it and was rushed to hospital back in melbourne, an hour away!! to get more x-rays and I've just torn 2 ligaments, and so I was on crutches for 4 weeks, and then on one crutch for 2 weeks. And I was till on crutches for the next Scout Youth Forum, which everone seemed to think was fairly sad...
And that's just in 2 years, and it's only the major accidents... I disloacted my thumb at band-camp and have done HEAPS of other stuff. My clarinet teacher usually just asks "So, what have you done this week?" cause I always seem to do something to my wrist of thumb or a finger or my elbow like every week...
So, yeah, I'm seriousl accident-prone....
