About a month and a half ago, I sprained my ankle badly. I guess I rolled it on uneven ground and heard the telltale "crrriiick" that tells me I've stretched a bunch of ligaments and am about to experience a world of pain. I was alone out walking that day, and had to hobble back to my car in agony and drive myself to the hospital for xrays. I was almost out of gas and had to stop to put some gas in, then hobble to a payphone to call my husband since my cell was out of time. Not a fun day. It took over three weeks for the swelling and bruising to go down. And today, I frickin' did it again. Not as bad this time, thank God, but it's still swollen and painful to walk on. But more than anything, I'm just pissed at myself for doing it to myself again. I have weak ankles and have sprained them more times than I can count. Ugh.
What are the ways you all have hurt yourselves, from the silly to the serious? Have you ever done something where you got hurt and just felt monumentally stupid? Are you a repeat offender like me? lol.

I regularly sprain my right ankle...it sprain very easily since i double sprained it falling off a horse. I also tend to stub my toes or get talking and swing my arm out and hit door jams.
The worst self injury (it wasn't on purpose) was when i was 13 and lost my temper at my sister I was mad and slamming doors as i left the house to be away from her. I slammed the outside door of the house so hard the window fell out and fell on my head. Luckily i just had a concussion and the glass didn't break on me but...I don't slam doors anymore in temper.
