Re: An actual physical casualty from ADHD

[billd]

Accidents and speeding tickets – I’ve paid my share into the government coffers.

Accidents I can remember:

Falling on a ladder, my knee hit a rung, bent the aluminum rung, cracked my kneecap down the middle

Nearly took off my forefinger and thumb on my left hand in a table saw (I’m left handed and I KNOW BETTER than to hold the piece only 1/2″ from the saw)

Smacked myself in the head with a crowbar leaving a heck of a bump and huge gash.

Smacked myself in the face with a planter marker – luckily I was wearing glasses.

Fallen so many times on ice, etc. – it’s a wonder I’ve got bones left.

Lifted a pool cover reel with my left arm extended, palm up (doctors will know what happened next) SNAP – tore bicep loose from bone.

I’d had my new truck less than a year and was in 4 accidents with it ( 1 was not my fault, but you know how THAT looked)

Ran into the front my my truck with my VW Rabbit, they were 4 feet from each other in the driveway and I sat down to start it – forgetting to depress the clutch first……..

Broken toes at least 3 times walking into things.

And yes, I’ve done the lawnmower muffler thing, too – although thankfully NOT to that extent – OUCH!! that hurts just thinking about it. What was my excuse – I did, after all, run a small engine repair shop for a while! DUH – mechanic, degree, know better?

Yeah, I DO know better, but applying that, there’s the trick.
