Scrap-related injuries?

I started a whole topic about it over on the Studio Calico message board, but thought I might share here as well.
This is what I wrote Thursday night:
I just took a big fall off of my office chair (yes, I know I shouldn’t stand on it - don’t tell my mom or I won’t hear the end of it) while trying to put a bin full of kits on top of a big Billy IKEA-shelf, leaning over my desk. I, obviously, managed to drop the bin full of kits on top of my iMac, which fell face-foward onto the desk, and hit the back of my left thigh, scrape the underside of my overarm and… all the way down to my bra on my torso - in general, I hurt all over. My arm is really sore and is starting to swell - it’ll be a h*** of a big bruise come tomorrow morning…
My husband witnessed it all and was really scared I had broken something :/
I finally got around to taking a photo of it today. You know, so that I’ll have something to put in my PL-spread for this week.
I promise you, it looks worse than it feels today. My arm and right side of my torso is still a bit swollen and I feel weird when standing - my arm is sticking out slightly, but I’m definitely on the mend. Yesterday I needed help washing my hair and getting dressed (and undressed). Today I managed on my own.
Have you ever hurt yourself while scrapping?
