I got stitches twice, once I wasn't awake for it.
Gross stories ahead!
When I was in Kindergarder or maybe grade 1, I cut my foot really bad. What happened was that we used to have a fish bowl and we'd fill it with beads that we found on the carpet. You know, kids are entertained easily :P I don't know what happened, but it was broken on the floor, I didn't see it when I went to turn off the light and step right into it. I only learned recently enough that my toe was so bad, it was almost fully cut off, I thought it was just a regular cut, but nop. I'm fine now though, but it's still super sensitive, I don't like touching it.
Second story happened around grade 7. Kira, my dog, was a new puppy at the time and we were walking her. I then ran ahead (mom holding the leash), but the dog ran too and tripped me. I...don't know how to fall properly, I tried to catch myself, so I had my arm straight out in front of me, so of course it broke, but it wasn't a normal break. We had to go to the hospital and it turned out to be a fracture, on my elbow joint, that was traveling up rather then across like it normally would. So, I had to have surgery to put in two screws, on my drawing arm. Still have them, they're annoying sometimes haha

wow O.o i had stitches a total of 7 times ^^ one recently though. 3 of them i didn't know i got until i woke up in a hospital bed ;3
Painful stories ahead ( although the fishbowl one sounds ouchy if its still tender)
back in grade 2 i was running alongside the school fence during soccer practice or whatever it was, i didn't know there was a nail sticing out of one of the fence boards. ended up running at such a speed i couldn't change direction, but i ended up getting i don't know how many stitches, all along from my eyebrow to the back of me head >.< i lost a loooot of blood.
and the most recent ( too tired to post all the ones i remember) it was busy in a kitchen i worked in. my station was swamped for orders and someone was coming to help me out. while he was chopping stuff, i didn't know he turned towards me, as i turned to exit the kitchen. for new tongs i think. either way, i took a chef knife in the belly ( its one of the bigger knives) it missed all important organs thankfully. but i ended up going to the lockers and grabbing a needle and thread. quickly gave myself about 10 stitches because i was bleeding a lot, and got proper stitches once i got to the hospital. the fact i always kept a needle and thread in my locker probably saved my life that day :D they had to put me under to give me proper stitches for that one.
but yush, my boss was mad at me for leaving work that day and i got written up >.< hehe hated the job, almost got fired because i got tazed and almost fired another time because i nearly got shot from a policeman too >.<
now back to your regular programming ^^

Wow, that really, really sucks :< And what a horrible boss!
I've always been pretty clumsy but I rarely had big stuff happen. The most recent is the skews in my arm. I don't really notice them, though you can feel them, but I can't fully outstretch my arm. Not noticeable, but hurts a lot if I go on a swing!

It really could have, I was actually pretty lucky. The doctor said it could have been possible for my arm to be affected, so I wouldn't have been able to draw anymore. I honestly don't know what I'd have done if that happened. Just being in a cast (removable kind) was too much for me and after a while, I started sneaking and drawing at school even though I had it on.
Wow... I cut my foot when I was 7 in our backyard on a car fender behind my dads garage, stitches from my big tow to my ankle and ended
up with a permanent scare from it. They somehow "forgot" to freeze my foot when doing the needle work, with a golden needle (for flexibility I guess)
and didn't so much as apologize after... I've never broken a bone though which is saying something as when I was in Toronto at a con with friends
I tripped stepping up from a curb and landed on my own arm, winding myself. Had some cuts but nothing else, I was about 16 at the time and weighed
something like 300 lbs yet no brake. o3o

LOL I had so many bumps bruises cuts and scrapes as a kid doctors thought my parents were beating me up. BUt nope I was just constantly throwing myself off high things or getting myself stuck in small things or getting tangled in spikey things or ...well the list goes on *giggles*
I'm dyspraxic, so by nature I'm doomed to forever be clumbsy. As a baby I pulled a heated clothes iron onto my leg which left a large scar, accidentally headbutted my mother once which broke her nose and spilled hot coffee onto my chest, which scarred, poked her eye out with a pen once, and then exactly a year later to the day did the same with a fork to the same eye, surprisingly said eye still works fine.
As a child I touched a turned on iron with my left hand, results being obvious, a mere few weeks later I did the same with my other hand like a fucking idiot, cut up my hands and knees falling over god knows how many times, aaaand once when sledding I impaled my face on an icicle and was left with a heart shaped scar on my head and blindness for 2 weeks, and in primary school I fell off a log balancing thing and removed all the skin from my inner right thigh and shin.
I still continue to accidentally do stupid crap like that, so many glasses have been judo chopped off tables during my life because of muscle spazms ;A;
But yeah I feel your pain for the clumbsiness, oddly enough to this day the only time I've had stitches was to close up my abdomen after my appendix ruptured when I was 11 X3

I burned myself on a ring. But not just a regular burn, no, this was a fantastic burn ._.
Doing chainmail, I was trying to saw-cut my rings for a cleaner edge (as opposed to bolt cutters) so I got a dremmel with a cutting head, put a coil of rings in a vice, and started cutting. Seeing as it was my first cut, I was curious, and quickly let them fall out of the vice and picked one up to inspect my work.
Turns out, metal gets REALLY HOT when put under the friction of a little rotary saw. I had a perfectly ring-shaped burn on my left thumb for about a month.
I can pluck splinters, shave my legs dry, and use an exacto to cut paper in my hand without cutting my palm, but the instant something gets about room temperature I'm destined to hurt myself. I... don't handle heat very well.

I guess I was either lucky or a fairly careful kids lol. I had a Broken arm once when I was like four. I was standing up on the counter in the bathroom messing around with the light fixture up ther (my mom thought I was playing in the mirror after it happened) and my siter came in and scared me, and I of course fell and ended up with a broken arm. I have never had any other broken bones, stitches, or surgeries after that. Though I think I had whip-lash once. I have plenty of scars from many bicycle accidents though, so I guess that'll do.
