This week the lovely Dollymixers share with us...
"What's been your most embarrassing injury?"
Zara Rabinowicz:
When a boy I was dating accidentally broke my nose.
Katherine Hannaford:
Most embarrassing injury? Err...does having a huge pus-ridden pimple on the very tip of my nose count? It better, as I actually stayed home from school for two days in high school, waiting for it to clear. Very embarrassing, the witch-look.
Alexandra Roumbas:
This isn’t so much embarrassing as ridiculous; I slipped a disk standing up from a chair. Seriously. The embarrassing part came afterwards, post-op, when I had to lie in bed for 12 hours on a drip. If you’ve ever been on a drip you know the one thing you need to do every ten minutes is pee like a racehorse. Lying down. In bed. In a cardboard bowl. EW.
Isabelle O'Carroll:
I've done lots of embarrassing things, but thankfully none of them resulted in injury.
Abi Silvester:
I’m more concerned about pain than dignity, so would not say any injury has been embarrassing.
Laura Street:
I don’t really have an embarrassing injury, they have all been quite regular so far. I knocked my front tooth out at nursery because I was having a fight with a boy, I guess that was embarrassing for my parents to explain.
Kimberly Foster:
Breaking my foot while playing netball – what a ridiculous thing to break! I was on crutches for six months... not funny!
Gemma Cartwright:
I’d been sick all evening and finally got to sleep, very dehydrated. I woke up in the middle of the night, went downstairs to get a drink, fainted and cracked my head open on the dishwasher. I came to three minutes later with blood all over the place. My parents had to take me to hospital to get it stitched up, and I now have a Harry Potter-esque scar on my forehead. I did all of this when I was 21. And sober.
Kate Kotler:
My most embarrassing injury occurred recently when due to extreme dehydration caused by having the flu (and a fever of 103.2 for four days) I passed out in the shower and had to have my friend Drue help me out. Wholly embarrassing. I still feel mortified thinking about it.
Cate Sevilla:
I've actually never had a serious injury before. I suppose the one time I used Proactive and it made my face drier and flakier than a desert was sort of embarrassing. I dunno. I'm lame.
