Today, my uncle had a flashback to Vietnam. I'm now missing a tooth and have a cracked rib. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I twisted my knee while cutting firewood with my grandpa. The pain was so crippling, I fell over screaming. His response? "Quit your bitching, I had my kneecaps blown off in Vietnam. They had to stitch 'em back on." He's never been to Vietnam, or even out of the country. FML
Today, I cracked a rib coughing. FML
Hangry dude
Today, I accidentally bit so hard on my fork that I cracked my tooth. 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 came home from the army and explained to my family how tough it was there. Then, as I was walking away, I stubbed my toe on the couch, fell and cried. FML
Today, I bit into a barbecue-ed corn cob, forgetting I had a filling on my chipped front tooth. I re-chipped it. FML
Today, I cracked my tooth. I was so tired I put my pretzel stick in my tea and took a bite out of my spoon. FML
Today, I coughed so hard that I fractured two ribs. FML
Today, while having sex I managed to chip my tooth. FML
Today, after a trip to the emergency room for severe stomach pain and almost passing out in the shower, I slipped on the wet bathroom floor and broke my two front teeth. FML

"Time travel is possible; just ask someone with PTSD." OP, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I also feel bad for your uncle. PTSD is hell. I was traumatized as a kid (not from war, of course) and have had PTSD for nine years. It's a terrible, terrible disorder. When you have a flashback, it's like you've literally been transported back to the trauma. When you finally snap back into reality, you've lost time and perhaps have left the location where you were when the flashback started. That's what scares me the most, because it's like blacking out and I have NO control over what I do during a flashback. Thankfully I've never hurt anyone. OP, I hope your uncle is getting help. Therapy + medication works well for PTSD.

It's not all bad, just say you got in a bar fight. Some chicks like a "rough dude".

cut your uncle some slack, he fought in the war for everyone. he can't help it is he has a flashback. your lucky that's all that happened instead of something worse!

Some would say, be more respectful, but fyl for losing a tooth and a cracked rib. At least you shouldn't necessarily be like "oh I lost a tooth, and cracked a rib. It hurt like hell, but i'm okay with it because he was in a war." I understand where your coming from. Your not blaming your uncle, just saying- "this is what happened. fml"

I'd feel more sorry for the old man, that war was rough, well any war in general. do you think flashing back to that kind of memories was the highlight of his day

think it over. imagine Wat it wud be like to be a veterinarian. gun fires around u, companions dying, houses exploding, people screaming their last words in front of ur very eyes. u wud have been haunted by this nightmare each night until u die. it must be terrible, and the LAST thing I would EVER do is say it's hilarious. I'm not a supergeek but I know that much.

veterinarian? No, he didn't help save animals. I'm sorry for being a grammar nazi but use correct spelling once in a while.
