Hi Sellam and
all,
I think my worst computer related injury is a
recurring one: I keep
bumping my kneecaps on monitors that are sitting on the ground.
I took an HP 9122D to the head once - kinda fell off a high
shelf where I
was working
Blood, swearing and confusion but no stiches....
Anyone with one that involves stiching and / or an ER?
The closest that I've come was a doctor's visit for a tetnus shot. I was
in a very cluttered junk yard and stepped backward and tripped. I fell
backward and put my hands out to catch myself. However there was
a plate on
the ground with a #10 screw/stud about 1 1/2" long sticking out of it and
the stud went all the way through the palm of my hand. I'm curently
regrowing a toe nail. The original fell off after having one of the large
steel baskets of scrap fall on it.

I was racking some RK05 drives on my PDP-11 and was picking up 11/34 and
11/35 CPU BA11 boxes and carrying them from the floor or rack to my work
bench. After doing this off and on for a couple of days on a weekend, my
back hurt all during the week and was stiff. Then we had a big software
delivery at work and I sat slouching in my chair at my office working for
16 hours straight on the last Friday in October. The next day I could not
get out of bed and had excruciating pain in my lower back and my right leg.
I was in bed for 3 weeks due to a bulging disk in the same area where some
mild arthritis was located and it had inflamed the nerve roots of my
sciatic nerve. Now I recruit my 21 year old son to lift anything over
100 pounds.
