Yep, I've got a few scars.
There's the one on the instep of my right foot – similar situation to BF's, except that it was a beer-can that had been ripped in half and then thrown into the ocean. I was chest-deep in water when it happened, so at first I thought I'd stepped on a spiny fish or something. It was a fairly remote beach, but there was a lifeguard nearby, so he cleaned and wrapped my foot to where I could limp back to the car. The wound was an inch deep and took 14 stitches to fix. It healed ok, but the scar tissue inside sometimes causes an intense pain if I stretch it in the wrong way (usually when walking up a flight of stairs, or hiking in steep areas).
Then there's the scar on the back of my head, just above my hairline that was caused when I was playing around on a pile of loose bricks as a kid. I fell and hit my head on a nearby brick patio. Took 5 stitches to fix.
And I have a very small, faint scar above my eyebrow where, as a toddler (I don't remember this, obviously) I headbanged my parent's mod glass coffee-table.
And finally: there's the scar on my right hand, near my wrist ...
Warning: not for the squeamish
! where a needle accidentally got lodged. This was in high school. I was trying to build some sort of crazy invention, and tripped over a piece of it while holding the needle. When I stood up, I could only find half of the needle (the sharp side). It was only after about ten minutes that I realized that intense pain in my wrist was not just from falling down – the blunt side of the needle had been forced inside by the impact.
! The doctor x-rayed it and confirmed that it was in there, and it was close to a vein, too, but he couldn't operate until the next morning. So I had to wear a temporary cast for one day to keep it from pushing into the vein.
! Probably the longest night I've ever not been able to sleep through...
! The surgery went well though and my wrist is fine. I should visit a fortune teller and see if it's added ten years to my life-line. :ninja:
