Scar Talk

I almost completely severed my right middle finger while working in a bakery as a teenager. The surgical scar runs from the second joint into the palm of my hand. Still have no feeling in that finger, but it seems to work well anyway.

I also have a large keloid scar on my chest from laproscopic heart procedure that didn't heal well. (I hate this one).

I have a bunch of surgery scars.

A crescent shaped scar on my first finger knuckle of my left hand. I've played softball since I could walk. I was 6 at the time and decided to slide into second base with my hands extended, I broke the finger so bad the bone came through. I was a stubborn child and didn't want to get in trouble so I tried hiding my hand behind my back. Worked until the coach saw the little pool of blood forming behind me. I only started crying when they pulled me from the game, and not cause I was hurt. At the hospital I was a little terror, I wouldn't let anyone touch me cause I didn't want a cast to keep me out the rest of the season lol. My uncle still teases me about that.

I don't have a lot of scars, a tiny one on my left hand from where my neighbors' cat scratched me when I was like 13 or 14 (loved that cat, he was usually an angel!) and I have a bunch of little scars from needles on my right arm (from giving blood).

I have one on the right side of my face where my brother attacked me with a stick when we were kids.

It's faded over the years, but I used to have three great long slashes across my forearm that looked like I was attacked by a werewolf. It happened while I was working at the vet's.

It wasn't some vicious, aggressive animal. It was an overzealous beagle-mix named Happy who'd just had his nails trimmed (but not filed) and jumped up to get my attention. :laugh: I had another on my wrist that looked like a botched suicide attempt that was a scratch from a dainty and delicate Italian Greyhound named Portia.

Scar across my right foot from making my bed. (That's the short funny story. The longer story was that I use a sheet of plywood under my mattress for extra firmness and I dropped that sheet across my bare foot!)

Scar on my pinky from when I was about 5 and pinched it in the chain on my swing set.

I never hurt myself doing things that are actually dangerous. I do have a decent scar on my knee from Warrior Dash, but it wasn't from any obstacles, just from tripping running in the woods.

Well picture this, 9 years old, wanting to shave my legs, my mom telling me no. I snuck into the bathroom, grabbed the razor, no lather, and started shaving. I have 6 scars from running the razor up my right leg...looks like the pattern of a ladder. I'll never forget it, and now am always careful. I also have a scar above my right eye from where my brother was flying a kite and I was running right under it, it did a nose dive the the metal (that tells you how long ago it was) hit me right there. I/4 inch and it would have gotten the eye.

I tore the ACL in my left leg four years. The scar is not really that impressive.

lets see 3 knife wounds, 2 OMG did that just happens?!, and 1 "well that didn't go the way it was supposed to" plus a myriad of lesser I'm a dumbass ones.

Mine are boring compared to these!! I just have 2 c sections scars. well probably 1.5 because they tried to go over the first one the second time but didn't overlap all the way.

Slipped at work and took a box knife down my wrist, managed to miss the tendons and the veins. Now though nurses give me that look when the take my pulse =( the scar is fading and pulled in to about half the length it was before though so that's good.

One on my knuckle from hitting a brick wall throwing a snowball at a friend in high school, no idea why that scared.

I hole in my leg where I got and abscess under a cyst I had and couldn't take the pain anymore, so I lanced it myself. It never closed up right and without cutting it open again I doubt it ever will.

The others are all small and I don't really remember getting them.
