What is the worst injury DC has inflicted on you?

The eyeball thread got me thinking about this. DS is only 10 months but already has inflicted multiple fat lips, a nose bleed and cutting my gums while sticking his fingers in my mouth. I can't help to think there will be more to follow.
So I was just wondering what other people's DC have done to them

| Yeah, the injuries were a shock. The one i love to hate is having my chin accidentally banged so I chomp down hard on my tongue. My older DC went through a teething phase of biting me really hard, out of the blue, and I felt shell shocked by the time he outgrew it. |

My DC has been on a roll even before he was born. He kicked a rib out of place twice when I was pregnant with him. After he was born, he pulled out my hair, knocked his forehead on my nose, scratched my cheek and I remember him waking me up out of a much-needed nap with a surprise belly flop. Oh and two busted laptops.
The forehead to the nose hurt the most. I remember crying over that one! |

Ditto on the fat lips, hurt noses, chomps while breastfeeding. My 2 yo stomped hard on his grandmother's foot (not on purpose). She ended up losing the toenail. I'm not sure if this counts, but DH lunged to catch our youngest as he was falling off the bed. DS was fine, but DH dislocated his shoulder.
But none of this compares to the injuries they inflict on themselves . Split open lips, bonks on the head, calls to poison control (luckily nothing serious so far). I have 2 very active boys. My oldest fell and got a huge split on the forehead requiring an ambulance ride and plastic surgery in the ER. Etc etc.

My daughter gave me a concussion. No lie. We head butted so hard that I fell back and knocked the shit out of my head. She giggled between tears. (I think she was scared that I didn't pick her up right away.)
My husband took us both the the emergency room. She was fine. But that is when I learned I had concussion. Nuts. |

DS inadvertantly jabbed me in the eyeball with the fat end of a chopstick. OMG in my life I've never felt such pain. If I hadn't been halfway through a large Japanese beer I'd probably have passed out. Unmedicated childbirth didn't have jack on that level of pain.
They gave me the most incredible eyedrops at the ER. They were unbelievably great at ending pain, but they're also toxic to the eye so are to be used sparingly. However, I can see why they lock the drops up and why people steal them. They only last about 30 mins, so you go from horrnedous earth-shattering pain to a glorious no pain at all, and back to bone-crushing, unrelenting pain. Damned DS! |

| Nothing on the level of the PPs but one of the children I cared for bit me on the breast (through my shirt) and I still have a scar from it. He was about two, did it out of excitement not aggression and even though it hurt like a mofo at the time, it still is one of my favorite scars. |

My kid has a way of always hitting me in the eye. Never a serious injury, but I've seen shooting stars many a time in his two years of life. 
He bit me really badly once, leaving blood blisters. Ouch. I didn't realize kids were so abusive. |

DS is only 6 months old but can crack me in the jaw so hard with his skull that i see stars.
Today I picked him up for an early morning cuddle, hugged him close & closed my eyes out of sheer joy, so i didn't see the drooly open hand coming in HARD to clamp itself over my nose and mouth.

| My daughter is big for her age (9 mos) and has freakishly strong legs. Sometimes when she wakes up too early for my taste, I'll bring her into bed with me so we can sleep a little longer. A couple weeks ago she kicked me so hard that one of my internal organs actually hurt for DAYS. Not sure which one, possibly the bladder. Seriously, OW. I've since learned that if she's in bed with me, I should keep a stuffed animal in front of my abdomen. |

This isnt a direct hit but I had a huge, Ike Turner-ish black, blue, green, icky bruise on the top of my arm from getting slammed by the screen door twice as DS tried to wiggle out of my arms on the way out the door. My husband was afraid people would think I was an abused woman!

Not my dd but her playmate-- she jumped up to give me a big hug and knocked her skull into my lower jaw. I bit off a small piece of the side of my tongue. Wow, is that painful.
And wow do you need to come up with alternative words in a hurry when you're in that much pain around a 4-year-old. Well.....shhhhhieeeeeeeeee---uuuugggarrrr. FFuuuuuuuuuuuulllllallllalalllalahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ouch. |
