Scars! - Page 3

Ryong · 04-17-2011, 10:05 AM

I have two scars - well, technically, three - one on my right shoulder, because one day I stayed too much in the sun and apparently scratching my shoulder scarred it. It's like, a cm long. Then, on my foot I have two tiny scars - I was around 12, I think, I was running around barefoot and there were some planks on the yard, which we used as pathways so we didn't step on the soil...One had a barb on it, which entered - and nearly exited - the "ball" of the foot.

Aside from these, most of the cuts I've gotten haven't managed to be so severe - stuff like cutting my finger by accident and only stopping because of the nail and such.

I have so many. ._.

My most noticeable ones are on my left shoulder from when a flat/shell broke and slammed shut on me during musical practice (and a corresponding one on my chest from where I slammed into the bottom riser when I fell). Don't really want to go into the others, since most of them are from stupid shit.

About eight years ago, when I was 14, I was cycling through the local forest, Alice Holt. The tracks there are mostly gravelled, and I was freewheeling down a hill. About 3/4s the way down a dog came darting out the woods, so I slammed on the brakes. Sailed straight over the handlebars, slid down the hill a bit, gouged my left elbow open and got a lot of gravel lodged in my elbow. Limped back home and got taken to a hospital, where I had each little bit of gravel that had embedded itself into my flesh plucked out with tweezers, before being bandaged up.

Now my elbow is just splodges of ugly purple fleshy bits where the tissue grew back. The skin also flaps loose when I hold my arm straight.

I also have a large scar down.... there... where I had a kidney operation when I was 8months old. Nobody's ever had the chance to see it, though.

You can't see it anymore because of my beard, but there's a little dent on my cheek from where someone stabbed me clear through. I used to have one on my stomach from where I was almost impaled in a bike accident, but after about six years, that one cleared up.

I've got little ones here and there, but I don't usually pay them much mind. I run and leap and climb around a lot, so one single silly thing I did isn't very memorable. It's actually pretty surprising that I've never broken anything.

When I was a child, I once jumped off a shed and landed on a rake I hadn't noticed. In true cartoon fashion, I got smacked in the face. Unlike in cartoons, however, the impact drove my front lower teeth through the bottom part of my lower lip, and I now have an almost-birdshaped scar there.

I've got a scar on my left leg from surgery where a growth declared potentially hazardous was removed. Hair has rendered it nearly invisible now, though.

I've got a half-centimeter, circular scar from when I tore a small chunk of my right arm open on an exposed nail in a lake dock.

Also, a fair number of little scratch scars and the like from cats.

I actually also have a small cross-shaped scar on my left cheek. I don't know where that's from and I've had it as long as I can remember.

I've had this weird lightning bolt-shaped scar on my forehead ever since I was a baby. Dunno what the deal is there but on a completely unrelated note this fucking owl infestation at my house has to go.

It took 8 or 9 decent chunks out, but was surprisingly painless! It left a scar for years but it's mostly gone now.

I call shenanigans. You seriously looked down and were like, "Oh hey, there's large chunks of calf muscle curiously absent from my leg. Hm. This is an interesting development which may warrant further intervention such as to assure that my foot does not fall off."?

...but okay, true story: I had a bicycle accident when I was 8 or 9 (lost control coming down a hill, went straight off a 3-foot-high ledge over a parking lot and landed on my head) and actually do have a small scar on my forehead from the gash.

It used to be above my hairline, but time has been a harsh mistress on that front.

I have the coolest scar ever; it's on my freaking eye! Not on my face near my eye, I mean actually on the surface of my eyeball, right over the iris. Apparantly it probably happened during birth somehow. You can only see it in really close up photograths of my eye though.

And, boringly, I also have one from when I had my appendix out, but judging by this thread that's probably about the only normal one out of everyone here. Seriously you all have gotten into some serious scrapes.
