Shotgun 1 #26 May 10, 2006 I've only had stitches one time, but in three different places: my left knee, my right shoulder, and on my head next to my right eye. My shoulder even had a cool little tube thingie stuck in it for a while to drain out the glass. This was from a car wreck that I had two weeks before my 16th birthday. I got a ticket for driving without a license and for not wearing a seatbelt, but the wreck was actually not my fault; some chick ran a red light and hit me as I was turning left. I broke the windshield with my head, knocked out the passenger-side window with my shoulder, and took out the car stereo with my knee. Funny, I constantly have these "awake during sleep paralysis" dreams, where I'm sort of awake but I can't move... and when I started coming to after the wreck, I thought I was having one of those dreams, except it was different because all I could see was red (blood in my eyes from the head wound)... I kept hearing voices from a man and a woman telling me that everything would be ok and that the ambulance would be there soon, but I don't think that I really realized what was going on until I fully woke up in the ambulance... and then I started freaking out asking where Naomi was (a six-year-old girl that I had been babysitting that day - but luckily I had left her with my mom). The last thing I could remember was having her with me... Apparently I had people looking for her until my mom arrived at the emergency room with her. Anyhow, that's my stitches story... The scars on my head and knee are pretty much gone, but I still have ugly scars on my shoulder. They used to be so dark that people would ask me if it was a tattoo, so I finally decided to get a tattoo around them... but the tattoo artist didn't think that was good idea, so I ended up getting one on the opposite shoulder...

GiaKrembs 0 #31 May 10, 2006 Once, I sliced off the top of my right thumb. There were several other injuries that probably should have required stitches - I butterflied them together until they finally healed. g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

Yoshi 0 #39 May 11, 2006 head: 4 stiches ( my first... I was 3 years old) finger: 8 stiches... I was surprised thats all it took to put the tip of my finger back on after it got ripped off in a rough game on two hand touch football when I was 11 leg: can remember how many stiches when I accidentally stabbed myself when whittling a piece of wood when I was 14 thumb: 4-5 stiches when I was doing my best emiril impression and chopping up some onions when making dinner...man those pampered chef knives are sharp! I could have used plenty more, but got away with the liquid stiches and butterfly bandages for the rest that I can remember well...other than surgeries that I needed stiches, but they were all the kind that dissolve themselves_________________________________________ this space for rent.

Nightingale 0 #43 May 11, 2006 LOL! On the first day of school, I used to have to talk to my teachers and explain that on occasion I will come to school with bruises and black eyes, and no, it wasn't my parents' fault. It was just being involved in a contact sport. Most of them believed me, and the ones that didn't figured it out when they asked me how I'd gotten that black eye, and I just laughed and said "I blocked a punch with my face."

Clite 0 #44 May 11, 2006 Can't remember how many were in each one, but I have had several. Learned something from each. Bottom of foot-Was walking barefoot when I noticed a trail of blood that went back two houses up the sidewalk. Never felt that one. Behind the ear- When you are running and see something immoveable, stop.(had a hearing aid on and hit a wall) Left thumb- Don't carve or whittle wood with a razor and hold the stick on the wrong end. That one took a year to get the movement back in my thumb. down the Middle of my tongue from back to front-not really sitches, but a sort of butterfly, Not sure how it happened but it was after falling from a second story window through a tree. Left eyebrow-Again butterfly, Don't try to kill a fly with a claw hammer on a iron milk crate( the hammer bounces back up) Upper lip-Split in two, Don't get too close to someone doing a slap shot, the hockey stick will get you if the puck doesn't. Upper tip of middle finger-Fork truck does not stop if the driver is not paying attention. Top of head- 300 lbs of lead held up by 4 guys on a jerryrigged hoist is not safe to stand under. Never said I was a smart guy. But I did learn alot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
