I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you have really good stories about each injury, at least. Mine were just boring accidents that I should have avoided.

Only one was inflicted by someone with intent. I parried when I should have taken a step back. That was the first.
The others each have a story, with equal parts bad luck and chagrin.

Random thought....
Have I ever mentioned my first job?
I worked at a chili dog restaurant with my friends.... that might have been the most fun at a job I've ever had
One of my friends was the manager and we would lock up at night and make sure the beer on tap was still fresh
When it would get really cold (remember I was really really young) I would fill up the ice bucket with water and dump it to freeze at the dive through speaker..... the drive through would beep and I could look up and see cars sliding towards the dumpster......
One time a customer came through the drive through high off of some thing bad (the manager immediately called the police) I handed him his order , as he checked it he unwrapped a hot dog and threw it at me through the drive through window..... it barely grazed my arm but I instinctively picked it up off the floor and made the most perfect throw of my life and nailed the guy in the face with it...... the guy tried to insult me again (in some unknown language he just invented) while that was happening the police pulled up and arrested him ...... he got cuffed and was put into the cop car with chili sauce, onions and mustard on his face
Lol
I have so many more stories of working there
The good ol days
