Yes ive been there....

I figured if I had a punctured lung or the like, I wouldn't be standing and wheezing then walking off to the side right after. I have learnt they seem to heal better if you don't keep mountain biking or the like, and just take it easy. Been a semi boring few days, then you do something and it hurts again (was hauling everything back to Auckland today, so loading and unloading a quarter ton BMW - feeling the effects of that)... Haven't told the boss yet, but I'm back at work Monday. Won't be jumping under desks to fix problems, more like a very slow careful motion...

Biggest problem I need to be careful of, I have a reasonably high tolerance to pain... so by the time I do visit A&E it's usually uh... bad

Surprised there have been no stories of tennis balls in the bollocks playing back-yard cricket.

Does injuring your back when being crash-tackled by a 3 1/2 year old count?

I decided to make fudge, seeing as I'd been invited to miters family christmas lunch. All was going swimmingly until I gave it a stir as the furry wrecking ball decided to hug my leg. Splattered two fingers with boiling fudge and liberal applications of running tap and medicinal ale did zilch to fix it. One healed fine, the other is infected and making braking slightly interesting due to the pain in the joint.

There was also the time when I attempted to sit on a set of stairs at a christmas party, missed and hit the ground. Very large and purple bruise that stuck round for around 3 weeks. Not so fun. Though the application of free champagne certainly took the indignation away!

Damn near amputated my big toe by dropping a full 9kg gas bottle on it

And who's idea was it to put a nice sharp ring of steel around the bottom of the damn things?

I also intend to sue the makers of my safety jandles, they did bugger all to protect me
