Scar Talk

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.

Got a huge scar on the back of my left hand from where my own dog bit me while I was 11 weeks pregnant - 2 surgeries later i still have my fingers! yey! I teach sewing in the comprehensive school and often tell them that is what you get if you don't concentrate on the sewing machine!

Hmmm... I'm a little accident prone. It runs in my family and we only tend to hurt ourselves. It does seem to decrease somewhat with each generation, so my great-great-grandchildren may be fine! LOL!

1) Scar through L eyebrow form when I was five. My older brother and I were racing through my grandmother's (Mamo) house to decide who got the cool (no AC) red satin pillow to lie on since we had "supposedly" grabbed it at the same time. I was winning, he tripped me, face first into a large, solid wooden arm of her leather sofa...

2) Scars L posterior knee from riding a ten speed (new for me) down a big hill...

3) Scar L (always on the LEFT, what's up with that?) knee from doing back flips in the water at the lake and cutting it open on a concrete buoy (didn't tell Mom cause we would have had to go get stitches).

4) Small scar in palm of-you guessed it-left hand from playing chicken on bicycles with my brother, neither one swerved and we hit tire to tire, blew my tire and red rock is not too forgiving.

5) Scar L thigh from melting candle wax onto bottles (also without Mom's knowledge) and dripping it on me.

6) Bigger scars: Left cheek (looks like a dimple people say) from when I totaled my '67 Rally Sport Camaro in 1985; flipped it sideways between two trees, vent window (metal part) went through my face, also scar beneath that from hitting the third tree and the windshield... Several small scars all over legs, arms (not so noticeable now) and a large scar on side of RIGHT big toe from glass.

7) Arthroscopic scars Left knee from surgery while in the Air Force.

8) Right elbow surgery 2010 for extensor tendon release with 5-6" incision.

9) R shoulder surgery 2010 with 4 arthroscopic scars for distal clavicle resection (did not turn out well), sub-acromial decompression, anterior acromioplasty, debridement off the rotator cuff tear (but not repaired), and some additional work.

10) R shoulder (making up for all those lefts!) 14 June 11 for rotator cuff and labral repair with 6 scope holes/arthroscopic scars.

11) R shoulder acromioclavicular reconstruction 16 Aug 11 (due to first right shoulder surgery mishap which destroyed my AC joint) with a 5-6" incision and 2 arthroscopic scars.

12) Left medial incision below the knee 3" from where they took two Hamstring tendons to rebuild my shoulder during the surgery above to reconstruct my AC joint of R shoulder.

I'm sure I'm leaving out a few more, but those are the high notes! Scars are battle wounds! And some are sexy as He**! Hey, it could be worse!

I have 2 titanium plates in my head. 1 over my right eye and 1 under my right eye. With alot of stitch marks to go with it. Lol!!!!! I was a wild kid

I have scars from my breast reduction, one scar that came from being cut by weatherstripping on a door, another scar that came from running my arm thru a glass door........

I have about a 2" scar on my left lower back that my mother (a nurse) told me should have had stitches. I don't know how it happened. No really, I don't.

I have a scar on my left lower abdomen that I call my "Frankenstein scar" because the surgeon used ginormous stitches to sew me up. I had to have a second surgery 6 months after my emergency appendectomy because one of the laparoscopic incisions didn't heal. I won't get into details, but it was super disgusting and I almost sued the original surgeon over it. Good thing I have a strong stomach. I'm very strangely interested in seeing how it looks after I lose weight :laugh:

Also have my scars from my breast reduction. They're not terribly noticeable, as that surgeon was incredible.

Oh and a C-section scar which left a bald spot:blushing:

A c-section scar and a scar on my hand from having a ganglion cyst removed.

Appendix surgery on Christmas day when I was eight, right breast from a lumpectomy, benign thank you God, and front and center neck from thyroid removal--cancerous but all clear now.
