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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML
Today, I slipped walking down the stairs. My mom thought I sprained my right ankle. In her haste to get me to the doctor, she grabbed me and accidentally tripped me. I broke my left ankle. The right one was fine. 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, I texted my mom if she could pick me up from the hospital. She replied, "No fatty, walk home." I have a broken foot. FML
Today, I fell down a flight of stairs at college. I was taken to hospital with a fractured ankle and had to call my parents to drive me home. They constantly made passive-aggressive remarks on the way home, because I'd "totally ruined" their plans to eat out at a fancy restaurant tonight. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs while holding some dirty glasses from my room. I ended up pulling pieces of glass from my body. Meanwhile all my mom cares about is the fact that I broke three of her favorite glasses. FML
Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML
Today, I broke my toe and screamed, "Fuck!" My mom heard and yelled at me for swearing, while I laid on the floor in pain. FML
Today, I broke my toe. My mom didn't think it was necessary to take me to hospital, opting to give me some painkillers instead. They were so strong that I fell asleep for an hour during my exam. FML
Today, I moved into a new downstairs flat. I promptly fell down said stairs. I have a broken pelvis now and can't walk or go down steps for 3 months. FML

Kudos for being tough! Too bad your mom doesn't think logically ...

At least you went after an hour. I broke my ankle in 3 places and it took 2 days of me jumping around on one foot to convince my mom to take me to the doctor..

Wtf is wrong with some parents?! If my daughter hurt herself I pay attention and monitor her. If it warrants an ER trip, I don't care what time it is I will take her.

I'm so sorry! A similar thing happened to me. I severely dislocated my right knee but while lying on the ground in agony I curled up on my side and relocated it myself. No one witnessed this because I was outside. Even though I was in a lot of pain, because I wasn't crying neither my mom nor dad wanted to take me to the hospital. When I finally started crying after my dad called me a wussy, they took me. I spent 3 months in physical therapy and wearing a brace from my hip to my ankle. I was 13. :( Sometimes the people who love us just don't understand that tears aren't always the be-all end-all.

My mom is the same way.. I've never been a baby with pain. So when I was snowboarding and dislocated both shoulders breaking my color bone and tearing cartilage and a ligament, she wouldn't believe me or take me to the dr. She wouldn't even help me carry my bags from the lodge since it was our last day there. She just told me to stop complaining and hurry up packing. Took about a week before my parents finally took me in and found out how bad it was.
