OK, Bikersks thread gave me this idea. Lets hear about embarrasing ways you have injured yourself. Preferably badly enough that your required hospitalization, or doctor's assistance. Something that made even the doctor laugh. I'm sure Diz has a good story for this.
Anyways, I once managed to completely dislocate my shoulder while laying in bed, by myself.I was lying kind of funny, and cut loose with a wicked sneeze. It popped right out of the joint and didn't go back in. The shoulder wasn't in the best of shape to begin with, I had popped it out a couple times before.
Anyway, my roommate was in bed with some honey at the time, I had to get him up to drive me to the hospital. After waiting for a long time, in pain, a doctor comes to see me. With a big grin he says, boy that must have been one hell of a sneeze. I didn't laugh.
Anyways, the doctors had a hell of a time getting it back into place that day. A few weeks later I went under the knife to tighten up the ligaments. That was many years ago, it's been trouble free since.
