Injury Report

I stabbed myself in the hand, in that web-like area between the thumb and index finger, with a flathead screwdriver.

While swinging a 3-pound sledgehammer to loosen some wooden stakes that were stuck in the ground, I completely missed the stake I was aiming for and struck my bare ankle.  It hurt like hell for a few minutes,  but everything is fine now, minus some bruising and swelling.

While leaving the house a few mornings ago, I slipped on a patch of ice on the back steps, fell flat on my back, and slid the rest of the way down.  Luckily there was no one around to see it.  I've been sore all week.

I burned my hand reaching into a toaster oven.

I've been wanting to bring back the old injury report, but I've managed to go several months without hurting myself.

The other day I was carrying a 22 inch TV down the stairs. (You can already see where this is going) My sneakers can be pretty slick on these hardwood floors. One foot slipped out from under me and I fell backwards, catching two steps in the back. The TV is fine. I broke it's fall.
