'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I once had a mountain biking accident in which I gashed my labia. Fifteen stitches, I think, and I bled like a stuck pig. That was fun. Even more fun, actually, was the anesthetic, since it was the same series of injections they give you for an episiotomy. Definitely the most pain I've ever felt in my life. Which means I'm never giving birth, since my sister tells me that the anesthetic was just white noise during L&D.
As it was, I couldn't wear jeans for a month. t winces in recollection
I can't believe I've never seen video of this. It's an all time legendary crotch whack. Where's Bob Saget?!
It is available on video as part of a highlights montage on H.G. Nelson's and Roy Slaven's The Dream.
Huh. The Space Shuttle fleet has been grounded again, due to foam falling off the new and improved external fuel tank.

Including the one up in space?

No. Although NASA is still looking at photos, footage, etc. to make sure it's safe for it to come back to earth. Plus before it docks at the International Space Station tomorrow morning the folks on the station will conduct an inspection as well. But at this point they think that the only damage the shuttle suffered was the small chip that fell off one of the tiles - they don't think that's serious enough to worry about. (Pretty much every shutttle mission has suffered some damage to the tiles.)
Jesus, people. WATCH OUT!!!!!
I once had a mountain biking accident ...
Consuela wins! That's way more horrendous than anything I've done to myself, including the accident that broke my front teeth.

Oh yeah, he was on Port Charles. He's a hottie. He should definitely get more roles.
Car accident featuring: fractured coccyx while laying on a back board (I was literally sitting in the hospital moaning, "my ass! my ass!" because I was pretty out of it) and no pain meds for the first few days since I had liver lacerations.
Oh, you might tie with juliana for Queen of Pain.
I managed to fracture same while in labor with my second baby. That pretty much sucked. Not my worst pain ever, though. All my worst pain belongs to teeth issues.
Oh, I was going to declare it a three way tie, but you think the teeth stuff is worse. I wonder if you think that because of the Tabula Rasa L&D hormones, because a fractured coccyx during labor sounds unfreakingbearable to me. Was the baby sunnyside up, or something?
since it was the same series of injections they give you for an episiotomyI didn't get injections for my episiotomy. For the first baby, I had an epi, but numbers two and three? Not so much. But oy, Consuela, that's a nasty injury. I think I read about that in your lj, before. Ooof.
OK, that has me flashing on the Frieda Kahlo film.

I wanted to kill my dentist after I had my wisdom teeth removed under local. But it wasn't so much extreme pain as just a long period of major discomfort and they wouldn't give me any good drugs. Liquid tylenol. Tylenol has has no effect on pain for me since I was 11. Which they knew. Pointless.
I AM SO FUCKING EDGY. I think it is the heat (82 inside when I got home. Now 79. It's cooling outside BUT) combined with my officemate taking many days off to slack and go on job interviews and knowing he'll be GONE FOREVER next week. It's depressing and I know I actually miss him when I'm sitting alone in the office.
I'm either going to start angry crying or kill someone, at this rate. I'm in extreme fuckit mode at the office. Not helpful.
I tried napping but ended up twitching too much to relax.
We had an all too brief thunder storm, and when it was over, we lost our power. It wasn't yet cool enough outside, so the house just felt like soup. Thankfully, it's back on, now. We did have fun, though. After we determined there were at least some other houses in the neighborhood without power (they were all behind us) and that it wasn't just our house, we lit candles and the five of us played 20 Questions. When the power came back on, we shut off the lights, and kept playing. We did keep the A.C. on though, because we could.
It's raining again now, which means no window fans in the kids' rooms. The poor little things. It's really hot up there. I hope the cool air blows in there, soon.
