I did the exact same thing 😯

When I was 8 I slipped on a tennis ball at school, fell on my face, and broke my front tooth.

By some sort of wizardry the dentist managed to save it, but it was black as the nerve inside was removed, so it had a filling at the back.

When I was 17 I had several sessions with a private dentist to inject whitening stuff inside it. Gradually it became a normal colour, but it was still weak.
Then not long afterwards, I was punched in the face in a nightclub. Broke the tooth completely. It wasn't salvageable.

For a while I had a removable false tooth on a denture plate, but now I have a fixed bridge false tooth.

Fell down the stairs during my work experience - I tripped on air…
Ended up bruising my coccyx pretty bad

The classic duo of tripping down the stairs and bumping into objects that I can clearly see.

I seem to manage to cut myself on everything in this world, probably most notable is when I cut myself on a tap...still don't know how but it happened

Pointed in the direction of a closing door when I was 5 and got the top of my middle finger squashed. I had to have surgery under GA to repair it.

A few things. Had a football kicked and went right in my face once.
I bent over near a mantlepiece to do some polishing and as I stood up the back of my head caught the corner and took the corner of the mantlepiece clean off.
I was in a travelodge near Edinburgh and I slipped in the bath tub and landed on my coccyx and couldnt sit down for days.

I opened the fridge for some food, there was a jar of jam that was somehow right on the edge of the fridge and was leaning on the door, so when I opened it, it fell. I sliced my ankle open and had to go get surgery for it :colonhash:
