Today, I had my first real break from work in ages, so I decided to go hiking. Less than 20 minutes in, I tumbled a couple hundred feet down a steep hill, broke my leg and several toes, and lay there in agony for an eternity before I was finally rescued. FML

Today, I went on a hike. It had snowed the night before so I wore warm clothes. They didn’t help when I slipped and broke my leg. FML

Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML

Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. FML

Today, while out hiking with my girlfriend, she thought it would be funny to push me down a small hill. It turned out there was a 16 foot drop at the end of it, and now my leg is in a cast. FML

Today, I fell down the stairs, breaking my foot and tendons. It was the first time I had ever broken anything, and the doctor said that it's the most complicated break he'd ever seen. It's too complicated to operate. Now I'm stuck in a wheelchair for god knows how long. FML

Today, my legs were really sore from working out yesterday, so it hurt going down the stairs at work. To avoid the pain, l ignored how stupid I looked and limped down the staircase. When I finally got to the bottom, I hopped off the last step. And twisted my ankle. FML

Agony

Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML

Today, I was hiking with my uncle. We were going down a slope, and I kept slipping. He jokingly pushed me just as we approached a big drop. I ended up with three fractured ribs. FML

Today, I woke up after being sick from the flu and tried to get out of bed. I forgot I was in a bunk bed and broke my ankle in the fall down. FML

Ouch sorry OP, hope you heal up nice and quick. Nothing but a FYL would suffice here.

Oh no! I have to give you credit for wanting to go on a hike on your free day. Hopefully when you get better you can try again with walking sticks to help support you.

i'm pretty sure OP would rather be at work than be painfully injured. Being off of work is great, but doing it while you might not be able to walk or move ******* blows

Literally the first rule of hiking is don't go alone. You didn't deserve to break anything but you kinda had the late rescue coming to you.

People hike alone all the time... It's a great experience. Just tell someone where you are and exactly when to get worried if they don't hear from you.

I guess relaxing at home and watching tv doesn't sound so bad now does it?

You couldn't just be lazy and watch Netflix all day like the rest of us? Speedy recovery and best of luck OP.

YDI for going alone, OP. Never go hiking alone. Carnivorous predators are a thing...thank God you're alive though!!

Sometimes I wonder why stories even get published on this site. This is not one of those cases. This is a true fml. I'm sorry to hear that you went through that, I hope you'll make a full recovery.
