Scars Character or battle scars?

Oiler41 · 07-10-2010, 04:46 PM

Okay, I'll play:

One hidden by my hair on my head from a connection of my head to a Volkswagen windshield and one on my right shoulder blade from same,

One on my neck from an anterior cervical fusion of C5-C6,

Right arm: triple-cut on top from working at UPS, carpel tunnel release on the palm from same, middle finger from slamming a car door on it as a kid, across the wrist from shoving my hand through a storm door as a kid, back of arm from working on the brakes of my truck way back when, and inside my forearm from accidentally stabbing myself with a lit cigarette.

Left arm: on top from a burn while in the oil refining business, tip of middle finger on each side from shooting a nail through it.

Various and sundry little "spots" all over both arms from sun poisoning multiple times over the years.

Two appendix incisions, one vertical one horizontal; it was in the wrong place and they didn't have time to look before surgery.
Side to side across the abdomen from a full hysterectomy (YAY!)
Across by spine mid-back from the removal of three cysts and two old incisions (the first two cysts) resulting in one long incision.

Right knee from yet another accidental cigarette burn,

Along the side of my left big toe where my toe was cut off and moved over to compensate for a bunion I had at 30 that I shouldn't have had until 70.

I'm sure there are other smaller ones that I really don't remember where they came from, but these are the ones I know the story for. I suppose some of them add character to the appearance of the skin, but they are all good for a story now and again, lol.

Left wrist tiny fingernail scar......4th grade Libby Burdine scratched me after I pinched her for cutting line while waiting to get our pencils sharpened.

Under hairline for going head first through the windshield at 16 when a drunk driver hit me head on.

A wasp sting on my left forearm left a tiny scar and that was 5 years ago.

Thinkin that's it.

Left knee - surgery for cartilage torn at the gym

Chin - racing my bicycle and the kid I was racing turned his front wheel into my back wheel b/c I was beating him. I went over the handlebars and chin- planted on the asphalt.

Right ankle - the pedal on my banana-seat bicycle would slip off, and the pedal frame gouged out my skin.

Left elbow - surgery scar from another bicycle mishap. Chain broke, I was thrown off, broke my elbow.

Inner right forearm - scar from a hot mini-bike muffler

Left leg - a neighborhood dog attacked my dog and I stepped in between them. Took it in the calf.

Right ankle - Burglar alarm call. Dog didn't appreciate me being in its yard to check on the house.

Chest - surgery

Neck - surgery for herniated discs

Back - cyst removed

Right shoulder - rotator cuff repair. Tore it at the gym.

Right knuckle - sliced by glass that fell out of a picture frame

Lower abdomen - Removal of organs that should have never been there in the first place

Right hip - didn't realize the tail of my shirt was in the flame of a candle and it caught on fire and burned me

Forehead - small star-shaped scar from falling on brick steps when I was 3. Although my mother forbade me to run up and down our front steps, I did it anyway. I just NEEDED to.

I think that's everything.

My thoughts? Stay out of the gym and away from bikes, in any form. They are out to hurt ya.

Methinks the ciggies are out to get you too. You should move and not leave them a forwarding address.

I'm thinking this can now go on this thread, It will match the scar I have on my right ear from a dog that didn't like me throwing his tennis ball. Now I have a semi matching ~at the moment cut~ to be a scar on my left ear.
Copy posting from the what made you

thread.

I went to the barber shop.

Sporting my Lizard skin cowboy boots, the lady started cutting and was doing pretty good, then she got to the left of my head and started to say that I have beautiful boots. All of a sudden, I felt a yank and warm fluid dripping down my ear. Yup, she buzzed my ear lobe. I guess I have to add that to my Scar thread!
First thing that came out of her mouth was Oh no, are you gonna sue me??? I said, well actually no, but if my ear was lying on the floor then perhaps we would have talked about it. She was nevous the rest of the hair cut, lol. She said, it don't hurt?? I said nahh, I really didn't feel it, she said you one strong man! I said yeah, until I come in with a full head cast tomorrow... Maybe next time I will try Petsmart
