Today, I left the hospital after having knee surgery. While trying to find my balance on my crutches, I was holding onto the roof of the car. My mum slammed the car door shut, not noticing my hand. I can barely even bend my fingers to hold onto my crutches. FML

badluckbrianna tells us more.

You know the corner of the door opening where the roof of the car meets the side of the car? I was already out of the car and facing away from the car. I started to lose my balance so I grabbed onto that corner (So I guess not really the roof of the car. Half the roof half the side of the car? I don't know what to call it and it's so hard to describe) to regain balance and adjust my crutches. My fingers were curled into the car and my palm resting on the roof. I'm pretty tall so that might be why I could do that. It's a sedan so it's short and it was the back door. Next thing I know SLAM. It still hurts to type.

At least you were already at the hospital! ;)

I've noticed this is only the most recent in a surprisingly long line of FMLs where an accident had occurred after leaving a hospital.

well back to the hospital for you.

One should have a limit to how much bad luck they can have. Get well soon OP!:)

Hey, at least it wasn't one of those old car doors. If one of those slammed into your fingers, you might not even have any afterwards.

This happened to me once, I know how you feel

Sorry for your predicament, OP. Hope you feel better soon. Tell mom to lay off your painkillers.

How were your fingers in a position to get shut in the door if you were holding the roof of the car ? Your fingers were pointing up...not down. Your thumb, maybe, would have gotten shut in the door, but not your fingers.

My thoughts exactly! I don't get it either. Perhaps OP will be kind enough to come back and explain :)
