    1996 Table saw accident, almost cut the top part of my hand off, started at my first finger and went all the way across my palm and then back around the side of my hand to the front (my hand rolled somehow) the palm of my hand looked like it had exploded.... had to be reconstructed to have use of my fingers, plastic surgeon did an awesome job, now it's only numb on the outside of my hand from the tip of my pinky to my wrist, and my fingers work :)

    and a 1988 C-section

    I have one that starts in the middle of my forehead and circles to back behind my left ear(similar to a scar you see from people that have had brain surgery).

    I fell from the top of a tanker trailer(12'6") and caught my head on the hose trough on the way down...lucky I did because it turned me enough to not fall on top of my head. This happened in 1996 and I still cannot feel the left side of my head because of extensive nerve damage.

    Also for my trouble I got a shattered jaw, tore my eardrum in half, and my left eyelid is surgically repaired with a skin graft.

    I do feel lucky though because the guy across the hall from me in intensive care had fallen off of a 3' step ladder and was paralyzed from the chest down.
