Reader Submissions: Pictures of Injuries and Burns

Did you break your leg? Maybe you burned your hand on the stove or cut your finger opening a can of olives. Did your child skin her knee or get a sunburn at the beach? I hope you took a picture.

Submit your pictures below along with a description of what happened. Did you have to go to the doctor? Did it require stitches or a cast? Share before and after pictures to better tell the story.
