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 guess my most interesting story scars are on my face. One runs across the both temples, both eyelids, bridge of my nose and into my hairline on one side, one under my nose and up one side, three on my forehead... the ones on my cheeks have faded to a point where only I can trace the lines barely from memory.

I had two surgeries at Mayo to smooth and lessen them, straighten my nose and remove glass that remained after the initial cleaning and stitching. I received them in a bar on a winter night about 17 years ago when some guys realized I wasn't male but a female and it pissed them off so they decided to give me a try.

But on the bright side they walked off in at least as bad a shape as I did.

i have too many scars to list...all work related. however, i do have an interesting middle finger on my right hand. i put my hand in a blender when i was 9 years old.

My biggest scar is across my stomach diagonal where my gallbladder was removed many years ago
I had 24 stitches in my forehead when I was 4 or 5 that were replaced by scars that grew into my hair and hairline as I grew
I have an entrance and exit wound scars from being shot in the leg at 16
A thin line of a scar on my arm from where one of my brothers bit me when we were fighting as little kids
Another scar from a hot pebble that my oldest brother picked out of tar and threw at me as a kid ... and it stuck in my forearm
Cutting up a chicken for my mom at 14 I cut through a finger on my left hand, left me with a scar a numbness
I have various scars from playing sports but none that really matter enough to mention

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
