Ive heard differnt limits for tetnus shots, from a year to five years. You should be OK on that account. Just be careful of infection. One good thing altho its an old-fashioned remedy is to soak your foot in hot salt water. It will draw the infection out.

Let's see.
Since I was gone for so long I have...

Broken a toe trying to kick a balloon out of the way and finding couch instead
Had someone run over my right foot then broke three toes on my left foot kicking the car that ran me over
Fallen through a glass table (eighteen stitches)
Stepped on two nails
Fell off my back porch head first (twelve stitches and two weeks of concussion)
And I've been accidentally shot in the shoulder by my cousin. (More arm than shoulder.)

So.

I scratched the hell out of my arms today while trimming some Bouganvillia bushes. Those 3 inch thorns bite.

Nothing dreadful over the years, worst was when I cracked my pelvis 9 mo. pregnant with the youngest...I tried to move an over heavy bag with my foot and something went up and bent the wrong way...almost comical trying to get me out the door to the hospital.

Most frequent injuries were when Sophie the dog was younger and would pull me down, nothing broken but looked like I was being regularly beaten for a few years there.

I don't think I've posted in this forum yet

My Husband had an injury 4 days before his deployment date last year. He passed out, hit his head on concrete - which gave him a severe concussion and a skull fracture from an inch behind his right ear all the way to the left cheek. He is permanently deaf in his left ear, can't smell or taste either, along with no short term memory (he's only 21). We have recently found out that he passed out due to his heart beating too slow, a severe case of bradycardia. The ironic part of this is that I have never broken anything, I have fractured my nose. Almost everybody you meet has at least one broken bone, not me. *prays I didn't just jinx myself*

I'm quite accident prone so usually have a cut or a bruise somewhere.

The biggest injury I've had was breaking my femur and hip in 5 places after crashing my bicycle. This resulted in 9 days in hospital, 1 operation to insert plates and screws and 6 months off work.

my injuries have never been really big. I guess my biggest one was smashing my face into our wood floor when I was younger. other minor ones:
-I've hit my head on things a few times (unintentionally of course!) worst being when I passed out in my hallway and hit my head on the door.
-razor blade cut on my finger.
-burn mark undr my arm from work.
- and I bruise alot too haha
