I'd imagine more injuries to come...

What's the worst astronomy-related injury you've had?
How about a broken back - 3 crushed discs and 3 weeks in hospital followed by 12 months of rehab. Fell backwards while sliding a rollof roof on the obs - collapsed into a steel-framed wall after losing balance and peddling backwards at high speed. Now a residual 15% spinal tilt.
