Ever gotten hurt while fighting?

[Platano]

I just finished Chippin my tooth during a fight in the AvA.. and it hurts


I was in a 1v1 fight with Kong and I was eating Cheesenips during the fight...

I was in a 47 him in a k4...at one point we almost collided so I cringed and bit hard on my tongue Ring and CRunCH....  part of my molar gone

I know its my fault for wearin my sex tool during a sorty in AH ( )
but ummmm... I fought through the pain and came out victorious

So umm do I get a purple Heart or somthing?


Which brings me to the Question...has anybody ever gotten hurt in anyway while flying?

I've chipped a tooth eating pretzel nuggets, burned myself, spilled beers in my lap, spilled bourbon in my keyboard, had a chair buckle and throw me out, fallen after getting tangled up in cables, cracked my head on the desk trying to grab something I'd knocked off, and fallen down during a beer run(running in a darkened apartment after rearranging the furniture is dangerous), but that's about it.

I fell asleep on a long bomber climbout and fell out of my chair, landed on and broke the trassh can next to it.  Of course, since I'm living on pain-killers that might have had soemthing to d with it . . .

I kicked my desk one time barefoot and peeled a toe nail back after getting killed by somebody I absolutely loath. Had blood running all over the place cause I had to hop to the bathroom. I couldnt put any weight on my foot.

Once, I punched someone.

 He PAWNched me back, and I got a black eye.

 Boy did that hurt.

Well, I did actually end up with a few physical problems as a result of too much AH.  Due to my poor desk set-up, I had to look kinda down at my monitor, and also I didn't have anywhere to prop my joystick arm while playing, so the full weight of my arm was on my shoulder.  The combination didn't seem that bad, but after about a year I ended up with some serious neck/shoulder/upper back pain that wouldn't go away.  My entire right arm hurt too, so bad I could hardly lift it.  I actually attributed it to sleeping wrong.  After about a week of agony, I ended up going to the doctor.  He asked a few questions about my behavior that might have resulted in my pain, that made me suspicious of my computer set-up.

Of course, too embarrased to admit my addiction, I told the doctor I had no clue as to what I had done wrong.  He prescribed pain killers and muscle relaxers, and I went home and made a new computer desk, with a pedestal to get my monitor up to eye level.

Problem solved!  I've now continued my addiction with no more pain for about 4 more years!

Now I have developed a rash in my ears, that goes away if I am unable to play AH for awhile.  It is a nasty bleeding, itching thing.  I'm guessing it is something to do with an allergy to the foam on my headset.  Doc called it "contact dermititis" and gave me a lotion that keeps it away for a week or two at a time.

Eventually I need to come up with a better headset/mic combo to eliminate this.  The problem is that everytime I have time to woek on it, I end up logged into AH instead...

Welp, I did fall out of a chair once when I ducked a headon pass. The only injury was to my pride though.

Interesting!  I'm going through that right now.  I've not seen the doctor, but I figured it out on my own after several years of this and have taken my first few steps into ergonomically rearranging my desk.  My joystick is still too far away (so I either hold my arm in the air or hunch forward, both of which hurt of course), but at least my monitor is now raised and centered.  Before, I had to look down and to my left.  The weird thing is that I'm so accustomed to looking to my left that I find myslelf still doing it, although my monitor is directly in front of me.

What's nasty about this situation is that, as you did, I thought it was from sleeping wrong.  The reason for this is that, as a child, I did have a bad bed which caused me to constantly be sore.  This was long before I began aerial combat simulators (though even then I was doing civilian simulators with mouse and keyboard).  Back then, getting a new bed solved it.  Now, I need a new desk.  I can't afford it, either, and that is bugging me.

I have done each and every one of those myself!

So I'm playing AH on my laptop in the bathtub, and my joystick is on the side of the tub. I accidentally pull back too hard and the stick falls in the tub. I freak out at the possibility and jump, knocking my laptop (which is plugged in to the wall) into the bathtub.

I get a very nasty shock and I try to exit the tub. I trip and land headfirst into the toilet. See, this wouldn't have been bad if I hadn't used the toilet before using the bathtub, but I had grown lazy with that. I should have put the lid down, but hindsight is 20/20.

I pull myself out of the toilet, still in a shocked daze, and this time fall backwards into the bathtub. I get shocked again and jump out, my fist going into the mirror. Now theres glass shards everywhere, on the sink, in my hand, on the floor...it was as if I was John McClaine in them Die Hard movies. Except I was buck naked.

In shock, dazed and freaking out from blood loss, I start going through the medicine cabinet and grab the hydrogen peroxide. I start basically pouring it on my hand and feet to prepare to cleanse my wounds.

The burning sensation is paramount and I faint into the bathroom door. The door at this time wasn't very sturdy. I break the door, falling into the hall. The fall jolts me back to consciousness and I start to get back up onto my feet.

I survey the damage done and I make one important realization that is also the moral of this story:



Don't fly so darned close to the ground, you may pull back too hard at the last second!
