Share your scars

[Al B. Sure!]

Anybody want to share their scars (physical, not emotional)?

I have a couple. I have an inch-long scar across my wrist from barbed wire. I have a scar underneath my hair on my head from hitting my head as a child jumping on a bed. I have a bump that hasn't gone away in over a year on the far right of my forehead from a fist fight I got into. And not quite a scar but my front two bottom teeth overlap slightly. I believe this happened when a football struck me right in teeth (why a facemask is necessary I guess). Don't worry, I still caught it and ran for a TD . It's possible that that might not be why my teeth overlap though (the teeth might have just came in that way) but that's what I've remembered.

Anyone else?

I have a 3 cm scar from a scythe on the left side of my neck. I was five years old and wanted to mow the grass as I had seen my father do it. When he saw what I was doing, he paniced and pulled it from me and the tip cut my neck. Could have been worse, only got four or five stiches.

[Al B. Sure!]

They use scythes to mow the lawn in Denmark?

It was back in 64 and my parents wasn't exactly rich Besides, it was in a so called "kolonihave" - a small pacth of land where you could have a garden/hold holidays for people living in the city.

I had a hypo attack (I'm diabetic) when I was about 23/4 that left a large scar over my left eye.

It was in the middle of the night (otherwise I might have noticed - I'm not a complete noob with hypos), and I managed to sort myself out by repeatedly banging my head against the side of my bed. Er, then eating lots of biscuits. Left a noticeable scar, but unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, the chicks don't dig it.

Don't know why I bother.

left leg - dog attack
right wrist - broken bottle
top of scalp - car trunk
right eyelid (and eyeball) - falling injury as child
under chin - ditto
abdomen - surgery

I think that's all...

36 stiches in mouth when I was 13 from an attack where I was held down, ribs broken and teeth kicked out of mn head because kids are terrible where I grew up (2 2.5 inch scars on outside of mouth where front teeth ripped open upper lip as lip was kicked over the teeth as I was held still and were yanked out of socket and just dangling by nerves when they were removed from lip

I have a V shaped scar on my arm. And a circular one on my chest. Damn that was a crazy week! Wish I could remember what happened.

hitting my head as a child jumping on a bed

It all makes sense now.

I've just got one on the top part of my left wrist from a cyst removal operation. Was glorious.

I have two scars on my head. One is due to that in kindergarden, I jumped up right into a fire extinguisher. Another goes back to the time when I fell fown the stairs.

I also have a scar on my finger. I was looking at my dog's teeth when he's heard the dog of our neighbours barking. At this time he was usually, uh, in polish it's warczeć, that is when dog keeps his mouth closed and makes a noise indicating he's angry. That's what he did that time too. But my finger remained inside his mouth while he's done that. Hence the scar.

I have a small scar on my lip as well, but I don't remember where did that come from.

Hopefully not from the dog as well.

I have lots of them. A lot.

- Plenty of scars on my skull, mostly hidden underneath my hair, but quite some on my (ever increasing ) forehead: 67 stitches from a car accident when I was 2 year old.
- Appendix removal: 4 stiches
- Stepped in a glass sherd in Poland as a ten year old. Ugly cut in the sole (middle) of my foot. One stitch. No anastetics available though. That left a psychological scar as well. Cried like a baby. The guy that stitched me up almost did too.
- Scar over my wrist. No suicide but Lust for Life with a girl in the bathroom. Slippery. 4 stitches.
- inocculation against smallpox: two small circular scars on my upper arm/shoulder
- plenty of other scars from small accidents (no stitches) As I get older I've noticed that these small wounds heal slower and more often leave their permanent mark

Most obvious is a that runs along my jaw bone from about 2 inches below the right ear to about center of my mouth. I fell about 80 some feet while on skis, best I can tell is that the back edge of the ski when through cheeks and out my mouth, cutting my tongue and gums as well as knocking out a tooth (which I caught). The tooth was put back in but that was about 18 years ago, it's now an implant. It missed my facial nerve by about a millimeter, which would have left the right side of my face dropping. It took 3 hours for the plastic sergoen to stitich it up. You only really notice it if I point it out.

I have lots of scars in my fingers, and also a missing finger tip.

Additionally, I really have some scar left in my brain

Does permanent marker count?

I have a 2 cm scar on my heel, which I cut while playing on a mud pit when I was around 7. I had to limp over 500m with a bleeding heel to the house, as I was on the farm. The cut was pretty deep, and I couldn't walk for about a week (I jumped everywhere instead), but at that age you heal quickly, and I was on holidays anyway.

I've also got a couple of small scars on my hands, from miscellaneous cuts, and a pencil lead lodged in my left palm, just below the index finger, since first grade.

Oh, and two hole-like scars on my chest, around where the heart is, from a time I caught Molluscum Contagiosum, and for some reason had them cut out with a spoon-like scalpel, when I was 8.
