Today, my mattress has gotten so old and trashed that I was woken up by two springs ripping through my bed sheets and stabbing me in the leg and abdomen. FML
gavthewarealpaca tells us more.
Hey everybody, OP here, I love all the puns you have made and the concern. The spring that hit my leg went pretty far in, it chipped a small piece off my femur and the one in my abdomen was only skin deep. I'm currently in the hospital recovering from the surgery to get the little chip of bone out of my leg. I'm doing well and will be out within a few days! Thank you for the publish!!

That's sure to put a spring in your step! Or your abdomen. That works too.

I voted yes for this FML!!! Sorry OP for that, it must've been so painful! Hopefully you have a quick recovery.

I, partially, feel your pain. I have a scar on my upper thigh, from where the same thing happened to me around age 8. Maybe you'll find a cool story to go with the injuries so no one ever has to know.

Did you fend them off? FYL OP, I hear spring violence has been on the rise, those sneaky bastards are breaking into mattresses and stabbing people and robbing them when they go to sleep at night.

Oh my goodness I had no idea it could do so much damage! Definitely follow #15's advice, set up a gofundme page. Maybe post the link here and you'll get a few starter donations?

I had no idea a mattress could do so much damage! Get well soon OP.

Wow, I thought you were exaggerating a bit for effect, that's way worse than what I thought had happened, if it was able to dig far enough to do that much damaged. Youch.

I thought OP was exaggerating too! So often people use "stab" in a melodramatic fashion but OP wasn't kidding! I totally winced when reading this follow up. Ahhh!!!

I hope to see a lawsuit sometime... No mattress should ever do that...

First world problems! I just have a little padding on the floor. Guess I could think I was entitled to something better but that just might stab me in the ass later.

Ouch! I hope you are recovering well! Your story reminded me of lyrics from an old Benny Hill song: Now we've married and we've settled In a cottage in Ravout The bed it is all broken And the springs are sticking out But when I recall our nights together, Me heart it wants to sing We kissed all through the winter And made love right though the spring Hope you get a new bed soon and heal fast!

I'm glad the spring didn't pierce your femural artery, otherwise you wouldn't have lived to talk about it.

That's actually what one of the doctors said to me after surgery.

That's what I was thinking. Damn, that's scary as hell...
