(Semi) Medical Question

I've gotten a bit soft since I've moved to sydney, so the only injury that I've had in recent times was when I was home for chrissy. I was fishing in the river and got a snag and while I was walking out to get it loose I stepped on a oyster and sliced a big chunk out of my foot. I didn't have a camera with me so this picture is from when I got back to sydney about 2 weeks later.

That's actually all healed up, it's just that it had yet to get back to the thickness of the rest of my foot, I rarely wear shoes, even here in the city, so my soles are basically one big callus.:laugh4:

It's a bit hard to tell, but it's basically across my whole heel. It kind of hurt, but I though it was just a little cut, and where I had walked out to was a good fishing spot so I stayed there for about 15 minutes. I only realised something was up when my feet started tickling because little fish were nibbling it. Plus side is that all the first aid was taken care of by the saltwater and the fish :laugh4:

A me and bunch of my cousins were at my nanna's farm and we decided to make some fireworks to kill a bit of boredom. We scraped about 100 sparklers into a glass(*smacks forehead*) bottle and then my cousin who had volunteered to set it off stuck the ingition sparkler in the wrong way. The plan of course was to put the sparkler in and wait at a safe distance for it to burn down and set the whole thing off. The idiot decided he would stick the burning end in first. Glass went everywhere, most of us just got a few scratches, but my idiot cousin caught most of the glass in his stomach. One shard missed his jugular by a few mill. He was in surgery for hours. That was actually only a few years ago, we were all about 18. Sometimes I swear I do that crap just to have an intersting story to tell :laugh4:

I'll be heading back home for about a week with the holidays coming up, so if I collect any decent injuries I'll be sure to show them off :laugh4:

:laugh4:

It's a wonder that Australia and New Zealand has a male population, we all deserve to die at 18.

proving the other side = me.

I'm 18, and I don't do stupid things. :grin2:

In fact the most dangerous thing I do is drive to work. And thats not dangerous...

I ran straight into a barbed wire fence the other night, I can see why the cows don't get past them...

It was dark okay...and I may have been drinking...
