In the immortal words of Socrates: "I drank what?"

I sat on my bathroom floor this morning, philosophizing as I rubbed my right heel. The question running through my mind was, "What is the worst kind of injury?"

This thought popped into my head right after I thought, "Well this isn't too bad." I played basketball again this morning and as I went up for a layup I was fouled hard on my right arm, forcing me to shift my weight to the right to prepare to land, and I came down HARD on my right heel. I was thrilled, really, that I had not sprained an ankle. Sure it hurt a bit, but I walked it off and finished the game. We won, stayed on, and began a new game. In an effort not to pound on my already sore heel, I simply ran on my toes. On a fast break, however, I attempted to shoot out in front of the pack and a pain shot across the arch of my foot to where it was already hurting at the heel. That did it for me. I had someone take my spot and called it quits.

So back to philosophy. If the heel isn't terrible, ranking below an ankle injury, I began to contemplate what was the worst injury I had ever suffered. Take note--"I had suffered." I am obviously making a bigger deal out of my (miniscule) pain that I should. I've never had a stroke, lost a limb, replaced a hip, etc. I'm talking about those little, put-you-out-for-a-couple-weeks kind of injuries. Ankles are horrible (and common for me). I once threw my back out wrestling a kid--that was terrible. I cut my wrist, but this doesn't seem to rank up with those other two. While it kept me inactive, it didn't hurt like a wrist or back, nor did it hinder simple tasks like walking or even standing.

What are your thoughts? Worst/most painful/most annoying (minor) injury?
