What's your most interesting scar? What's the story?

Me: Scar on sole of foot. I stepped on a sewing needle and it broke off in my foot. Doctors had to cut open my foot to get the broken piece out.

    I have one on my stomach. When I was a kid I was climbing rocks and there was a tree and I slipped and a small branch from the tree stabbed me. Had to break off the branch and get help. But that just shows you how big of an idiot I am

    I am a member of the zipper club. Had open heart surgery as a kid. Runs down the center of my chest. I love my scar because it means I'm alive!

    I have one across my forehead, ran into a wall when I was 5...have one across my chin where I got kicked by a horse, and I have a huge indention in my leg from where the bone came out when it broke. I'm surprised my parents are alive after what i put them through....

    Small scar on left eye. Me and a childhood friend were dueling with baseball bats, and he whacked me in the eye which removed all the skin around that area. Fortunately I still have the eye though.

    I have a pretty good one above my left eye from getting mashed with a crowbar.

    Normally I leave out the part where I say that it was self inflicted but, y'all are my buddies!

    Any sane person has at least one of those, maybe not with a crowbar but hey whatever works

    Burn mark on the back of my hand from when I was about 5 years old. I had decided to cook something while everyone was asleep. I burned my hand on the stove and woke up the whole house. I have the scar to remember it.

    One of my eyebrows is higher than the other. Slipped in the playground and grazed the entire right side of my face. Thankfully no real lasting damage.

    Otherwise I have a couple of old scars from warehouse work (caught myself on a metal cage, dropped a box on my hand, mishandled a box cutter, etc) but nothing epic. Thank goodness.

    Do stretch marks count? 'Cause I have PLENTY of those.

    I have a scar on my left arm from a carpet knife. I gave a hug to someone who had it in his shirt pocket and when I slid down after he picked me up it cut my arm open.

    I also have one on my right hand from my hubby showing me how a match burns twice when we 1st started dating...let's just say he didn't do that again. :devil:

    I have one around my big toe on my right foot...almost lost the toe in the spokes of a bike. But my favorite scar is a little one on my left index finger, right below the knuckle. I've had it as long as I can remember and have no idea where I got it :)

    I have scars on both hands (near my thumbs) and on both feet (near the ankle) from when I was in the NICU. Being poked with IV needles for months. I was born almost 3 mo. early, weighing in at about 2 lbs. Coincidentally, My daughter was born a little over 3 mo. early, weighing in at 1 lb 6 oz. She has the same scars and we have something in common. We're both miracle babies.

    Scar on the palm of my right hand. I was stupid drunk at sports bar. Went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet. I leaned back pretty far so I wouldn't fall off the toilet. I ended up smashing the top back piece of the toilet to the floor. Lovely. I picked up all the pieces and tried to put it back together thinking that no one would know any better. Went outside and one of my girlfriends mentioned that my hand was bleeding - dripping on the floor. Ugh. We left right away. I mucked up my hand pretty good with all the sharp edges trying to piece the damn thing back together.

    I have 3 scars with a story.

    First, next to my right eye. At the ripe old age of 6, me and the next door neighbor kid decided that it would be a good idea to smash glass bottles on some rocks. Shortly after the injury, I tried to fashion a bandage out of fern leaves. It was a different time

    Second, on my lip. While in the 1st grade, several of us kids thought it would be a good idea to knock down a tree on the playground at the school. We got it most of the way down, propped some rocks underneath it and everybody pushed down. Since there were now about 15 kids, and I being the only one who didn't hear the word move, got smacked in the face with the 3" round tree. Again those were different times....what playground teacher?

    Third, on my pinkie. I'd love to blame on childhood, but it was only about 5 years ago. I slipped on the ice while carrying a large TV. I landed on it smashing my pinkie. The bone broke past the last knuckle, and the skin split all the way over then end. YEs, the bone fell out completely. I ran inside, wrapped it up and went to go to the hospital. On the way out the door, I found the piece of bone and brought it with me. Through the wonders of modern medicine, they put it back in and despite a rather nasty scar, I was as good as new.

    I have a laundry list of scars from various surgeries I've had over the years.

    The one in the back of my head gets the most attention.

    Here it is:

    One on my head from when kids were throwing rocks at me in pre-school during recess. I didn't speak English and I was the only Asian kid in my class. The scar is in my scalp somewhere. I don't remember anything about it except for the blood and staring at the fence and wood chips when I went down.

    Another time, I punched a window to set off an alarm system when the family business was getting robbed. I have the scar on my knuckles. This was probably the one that hurt the worst because it was on Thanksgiving day and the emergency room was understaffed and it got infected. Bad times.

    on my arm near my armpit....lol... I decided to jump on a clothesline and wrap it around my arm so I could be like Jane from Tarzan.... Well I got the yell right, and some nasty rope burn.

    on my forehead by the hairline from one Christmas when I was jumping from bed to bed and my big brother was sleeping on the floor, I misjudged the distance from one bed to another and my head landed on his mouth and this tooth cut my forehead

    on my back where my bra hooks went when I was 220 lb and trying to fit into a 34C bra when I was actually a 42D (I was in denial) and the hooks stuck out and into my back

    on my stomach and ribcage 3 across my ribcage from gall bladder surgery in 2009 and one in my belly button one on my stomach and on right above my pubic bone from an appendectomy in 2008

    I have more but those are the most memorable

    Scar in my eyebrow above my left eye inflicted by a croquet ball.

    Was about 7 playing with my friends. We were running and I ran behind my aunt who was playing catch with my uncle with a croquet ball. They were rifling this ball as hard as they could at one another and my uncle threw a wild ball and my aunt missed. I didn't. lol

    I have a teeth mark scar on my right upper thigh.

    Story: My boyfriend's ex-girlfriend wanted to fight with me, I kneed her face and she followed through and bit me through my thick denim jeans. I don't even know how someone can bite through REALLY thick jeans like really really thick ones hahaha. Five years later, the scar is still there. No amount of scar zone or bio-oil can remove it:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    i have a scar on the underside of my chin i got when i was 7. i was at a roller skating birthday party and got so enthralled with the disco ball lights on the floor, i tripped over my own skates and fell. i hit the ground so hard it broke the skin and i had to get stitches. my mom said she almost passed out when they were cleaning it out and opened the skin so wide she could see my bone.

    I've got a small scar on my left shoulder that looks like a cross. I got it when I fell off my bicycle in HS (yes, I fell off my bicycle in HS). Scraped up half my face, lost half of my front tooth and ended up with a scar on my shoulder.

    When I met my husband he saw it and thought it was a bad tattoo. :laugh:

    I have a few good ones. One not very interesting scar under my chin: I was about 3 years old, supposed to be napping while mom was cleaning, snuck downstairs to watch a movie. I was watching Peter Pan and wanted to try the flying/happy thoughts stuff I guess, jumped off the couch Wendy-style, caught my chin on a nail sticking out of the hardwood floor.

    One pretty bad scar on my elbow: My mom's friend was giving me a hair cut at home one night, she sat me on this glass-plated coffee table we had to do it. All the other kids were sent into the bedrooms to play so they didn't bump me or whatnot. When she finished, she called to the kids that they could come out, the youngest one made a beeline for my legs before I could even fully stand up from the table. I fell back onto the table, it shattered, my mom's friend said "Don't look at your elbow!" Before that I was fine, but of course I looked at my elbow. Covered in blood and dripping, I screamed bloody murder. Got 17 stitches, they took forever to heal, and I still have residual nerve damage (just in the skin, my arm works fine).

    Oh, I also have a smallish scar under my left eye from when I was about 1 and a half years old. My parents were getting a new bed, so the old (metal) frame was leaned up against the wall while they were switching stuff out. I wandered in there and managed to get it to fall on my head. I only had this tiny cut, though, luckily.

    A circular scar above my right eyebrow. My cousin and I were playing with coffee stirrers and thought it would be cool to stick it to our face and suck on one end. We both have permanent memories of our little game.
