I've had my right knee put back together.... various other scars without cool stories. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #6 May 10, 2006 I've had injury-related stitches in my lower lip, chin (twice), right thumb, both palms (multiple times each, including twice when I did my own sewing), and left foot. Also surgery-related stitches (or staples) in my right eyelid, right knee, left hip, and left shoulder (thrice). There are probably a couple more I'm not remembering.

selbbub78 0 #7 May 10, 2006 I tore my aorta, and I have a pretty cool femur scar. The scare on my leg looks like a lightning bolt. It's kinda cool.

J_Cook 0 #9 May 10, 2006 I've had 4 stitches on my left eyebrow from playing football. 4 stitches on my left hand from tripping and falling on a CD case. I should have had 5-6 in the back of my head, fell down the stairs when I was 3 and my idiot babysitter just put a bandaid on it. Now I've got a bald spot about an inch long.

lawrocket 3 #11 May 10, 2006 Hmm. Being the most ADHD kid that ever lived (my first neurologist informed my mom that on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm a 13), I have had more than my fair share. 1. Stiches to head and face - age 18 months. I pulled a stamp machine on myself and the knobs went through cheek, scalp, etc. 2. Stiches to ear - 20 months. I fell onto the corner of a coffee table while jumping on the couch. 3. Stiches to jaw - age 2. I jumped into a dorrknowb. 4. Stiches to thumb - age 2. I sliced the end off with a butcher knife. They had a plastic surgeon on call who did a fine job. 5. Stiches to pinkie finger - age 3. Caught finger in wall heater grill. 6. Stiches to right forearm - age 5. Dropped a soda bottle and slipped on it. Restitched next day when I pulled them out. 7. Stiches to left shoulder - age 7. I ran through a glass storm door. 8. Stiches to dorsal right flank - age 18. "Richard Gere surgery" - I had a mole removed. Gnarly scar from when wound re-opened after stiches removed. 9. Stitches to left knee - age 20. Following knee arthroscopy for jacked up ACL. 10. Stiches to left lower abdomen - age 29. "Minor groin surgery." Sorry doc, anytime a sharp instrument is down there, it certainly is NOT minor. I think I'm missing a couple. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moonglo 0 #13 May 10, 2006 I've been lucky with stitches - had very few for all the crazy injuries I've had ... -1 stitch in my right eyebrow from a flying clarinet case in 7th? grade That's a much less interesting story than it sounds. -7 or so external and some inside my left palm from the head of a finishing nail sticking out of a piece of scenery I was helping carry at work the week after graduating AFF (at least I got worker's comp on that one, and the weather was bad for a few weeks so I couldn't have jumped anyways) -Looks to be 4 dissolving in my mouth right now from having my wisdom teeth out last week. That tooth had to be shattered to be removed and ended up as a dry socket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfrese 0 #14 May 10, 2006 Hmmm... 42 from impromptu chain-saw surgery on my left leg 10 from screw through my left hand 8 from dog bite (left hand) 5 from dog bite (right hand) 5 from dog bite (right leg...I used to be a meter reader!) 4 inside lip (twice) 5 from sloppy Navy corpsman mole removal 4 in right elbow removing heater core from my truck... Skydiving related stitches...ZERO. So, roughly 83, not counting dental surgeries and such.

I didn't do a very good job the first time and tore 'em out the next day. The second time was tougher because then the leak was all ragged (from tearing the first set of stitches out), but I made those a bit heavier duty and they held up.

Do you have any interesting scars and the stories to go along with them? I once punched a guy in the face and he had to get 7 stiches. He tried to sue me for that but it literally got laughed out of court. Funniest part was he threw the first punch. ,If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.
