Default Your worst injury or illness....

So, what was your worst injury or illness you ever had to deal with?

I had deep second near third degree burns over 18% of my body. My left forearm and hand, much of the inside of my left thigh, and most of my right thigh all had HUGE areas of flesh missing that went down deep into my body. Almost had to be medavacced to the burn center at the state capital.

Now, as much as the initial burn hurts quite badly, that's not the worst part. It's the recovery that REALLY sucks. You have to start therapy right away and what they do is put disenfectant in a medical spa (aka whirlpool) and loosen all of the dead skin and then it has to be rubbed off. Well, for the first couple days after the initial burn it's not so bad because most of the nerve endings are dead and so the pain isn't that bad but then on about the third day or so, BAM!!! Your nerve endings are healed a bit and the pain receptors REALLY kick in. That first day is pure hell. It literally feels like a million needles stabbing into every tiny bit of exposed flesh.
