[Misc] Scars.

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

1 on each forearm from a vicious dog attack......well.....I was teasing my golden retriever with a biscuit and he pawed for it and caught me, twice.

A nice new hernia one. About 4 inches from this year.

[Algernon]

On my left eyebrow where I was punched.
On the top of my head where the inner rim of my hard hat was driven into my head by a block of metal that had fallen from about 20ft up.
Down the side of and across my spine where some cowardly turd slashed me with a Stanley knife under Churchill Sq.
Palm and back of right hand and inside of left elbow where I flew off a Kawasaki KX400 onto gravel riding like a right dinny round the tip at the top of Sheepecote Valley
Inside of right elbow where I was chasing a German kid on his bike (I was a kid myself, and on my Raleigh Scorpio.) He swerved to avoid a brick on the cycle path. I didn't! That'll teach me.
Outer edge of left foot where I trod on an etch-a-sketch and went through the glass. Silvery powder and a reasonable amount of fresh blood looks quite funky.
Appendix scar.
Multiple scars on hands, arms, and legs from work/workshop incidents.

1 Cm scar on my knee where the nurses at the princess royal made an incision to remove the air gun pellet my brother shot me with

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

A Star Trek shaped scar on my right index finger from a knife, in the kitchen, when I was a child.
Several scars associated with childbirth (no, not elaborating).

Yes l've heard that this childbirth business can sting a bit.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I have around 8. Various causes.

Removal of a large thorn I hadn't realised had buried itself in me until it popped out some weeks after I thought I'd merely 'bumped' my knee on a spikey tree. The thorn must have popped into me in a very peculiar fashion.

Slashed on the hand with a breadknife. Two stitches.

Repair of a spiral fracture after I went over the handle bars of my bike when I hit a jaywalker (the soppy ninny) some years ago. Twelve stitches.

A nasty glass wound (that went bone-deep) from over enthusiastically attempting to clean a window in a flat in Brighton many years ago. The wound went septic and I have a bone nodule as a reminder.

Hernia repair. Eight stitches.

Cricket ball in the face. One stitch.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

½ inch in my back - penknife stab-attack at school 1974
2" over my left thumb socket - Bennetts fracture [motorcycle-road] 1977
4" V scar on left shin - Clearways at Brands Hatch [motorcycle racing] 1983
Keyhole left knee - sports injury 2008
Keyhole left ankle - sports injury 2016

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Large burn scar on right arm caused by pulling a kettle of boiling water over me as a two yr old , one right across stomach 18 staples caused by three umbilical hernia operations, 4" scar down side of left knee caused by a piece of slate and a small scar on back of head ,again done when I wasa toddler .

 

[Berty23]

Loads.

8 inches down my left arm. Broke elbow dry skiing as kid and had a plate and bolts to hold it together (one of my claims to fame actually is that the queen’s surgeon did the op)
On my ball bag from a nasty bollock injury from a football and twists etc
One in my groin from hernia as kid
Side of my right index finger lucky not to chop it off trying to pop an air bag on my old trainers with a Swiss Army knife as a kid
My face had loads. One over each eye from hockey balls, top of forehead from childhood fall and banged up right ear where I took a bouncer in pre helmet cricket days.

Plus lots of quite little ones. My body is a wreck. Sport hurts folks.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Above left eye- canal lock gate accident.
Front of right thumb- cut it open removing a toilet.
Inside of right thumb - cut it on some pipe.
Back - minor op.
Top of right leg at the back - 2 minor ops…..I’m pleased this scar isn’t on my face.
Left wrist- small scar from cutting it on a loft ladder.
Right cheek - small scar from a dry ice to burn out a skin problem.
Just above right knee- cuts from barnacles when climbing on the Banjo Groyne on Brighton Beach in my teens, I didn’t have stitches but the scars are still there.

 

[Trevor]

hmm
big one down the front of my chest
one through my left eyebrow
one on left shin
one 2/3rds of the way up my back
many on my right foot
small one on thumb

oh yes after reading fignon's ponytail - 2 in stomach area which is where drains were for the heart surgery

 

[Eeyore]

Inch or so long scar on my left cheek after it was re-arranged by a bottle 20 odd years ago.

One on my chest after an operation to remove lipomas, same for the forearm. The surgeon injected me to numb the area and decided to start carving in the one place he hadn't injected......

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I should mention my mate Dave from uni who is the unluckiest bloke I've ever met as far as 'accidents' are concerned. As far as I'm aware he's never actually stapled his dick to his leg, but I wouldn't put it past him.

His most amusing faux pas was caused by taking a short cut between some flats in Clapham. He claimed there was a gate but it was locked. I attach a photo below. Apparently he had both feet on the top of the fence, attempted to leap off, got a foot stuck between two spikes, and you can guess the rest.

I got a phone call later asking if I could escort him home from hospital. Apparently he spike missed his rectum by a couple of inches and insted created what he described as a 'second ********'. He had to sit on an inflatable cushion at college for some weeks later. My, how we laughed.

On another occasion he came back to our flat with blood pouring from a broken nose. Apparently he'd answered back to a pair of lary oaves at Clapham Common tube station, and one of them had nutted him. As it happened I'd been on the sauce that evening so Dave collapsed into his bed (we shared a room), and fell asleep. In the morning we awoke to the smell of vomit (I had thrown up during the night but had been too drunk to clear it up) and the sight of blood everwhere (his nose had continued to bleed and he'd spread it all over his pillow and the bedside wall). It would have made made a good climax to an episode of The Young Ones.

Happy days.

A trifle accident prone were you?

A little bit

Plumbing….far more dangerous than shark fishing

 

[Easy 10]

What a tremendous thread, top marks to [MENTION=19800]lawros left foot[/MENTION] for starting it (along with his Rambo-type wounds). So much buffoonery.

I have a crater scar by my left eyebrow from a particularly virulent chickenpox scab, which I simply could not leave alone.

I also have a 4-inch scar under my right kneecap when as a 12/13 year old I went over on my rollerskates and ripped it open on a sticking-up paving slab. Blood everywhere.This resulted in my worst nightmare (a needle into the open wound), followed by weeks of catching 2 buses with my mum to the RSCH to get it regularly cleaned and the dressing changed.

Oh, and a small scar on my forehead when I was about 7 or 8, sliding down wet grass in the garden but then catapulting forward into the tiles under the living room window.

Oh and I THINK in the same year, a small scar under my chin when we were on holiday in Mallorca and I woke up in a dark hotel room, panicked, jumped across 2 beds and launched myself at the curtains to open them. Instead I crashed through the plate glass window and landed on the balcony (8th floor). If we were staying on the balcony-less other side of the hotel, then I'd likely not be typing this. For the rest of the holiday, every night, my parents shifted the wardrobes, pool inflatables, and various other items of furniture in front of the windows.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

1: forehead 1 inch - baseball bat attacked by skinheads
2: left leg thigh, 3 inch - knife/stabbed see above, same incident.
3: right leg, 2 inch - teacher playing rugby, think Kes, but rugby.
4: right elbow, 2 inch - British rail lorry pulled out in front of me on Vespa elbow caught back bumper metal.
5: under chin 2 inch - pushing butchers block back after cleaning, slipped exactly the same time as someone walked past and placed a knife on the block, chin smashed down on knife, lucky really just a bit further would have gone through jugular.

 

[Gabbafella]

A 1.5 inch scar complete with stitch marks on the right hand, goes from my little finger in a crescent towards my wrist. Almost had two fingers amputated from that one.

One 1 inch scar on the right side of my right hand. A perfectly straight line, when I was 17, I was extremely stoned and someone laid a red hot metal pipe on my hand, only noticed when I could smell burning flesh. Yummy. Don't do drugs, kids.

Right wrist, about 2 inches going up my arm. My cat sleeps wrapped around my arm, she must've had a nightmare of some description (rescue cat) and she totally spazzed out, clawed the shit out of me and I couldn't get her to let go.

Several scars on my left foot from an ingrowing toenail operation. My big toe now resembles either a fleshy envelope or a small penis with a large helmet, depending on the angle.

A 6 inch scar right around the back of my head. Always the topic of conversation at work as I never tell anyone how I got it.

A 1 inch scar right on my hairline on my forehead. Helping my sister's ex build a shed, I didn't see that the sack truck wasn't flat on the floor and as I dropped a paving slab on it, it flicked forward and smashed me straight in the face. I thought I was fine until my sister started screaming, claret everywhere.

I also have loads of little scars on my hands and arms. My first job was making wing mirrors, always cut myself on a daily basis.

 

[Baldseagull]

Loads, can't remember how or which incidents for most of them, mostly from me being careless, in some cases, careless about how I spoke, and to whom.
From some of the descriptions on here, a number of you must look a bit like you were put together by Dr. Frankenstein.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I’ll play

Bridge of nose
Just below left eye
Right cheek
Back of right ear (2)
Bit missing of left ear

all basal cell carcinomas

Back of right calf 4 inch scar ..removal of mole…early stage melanoma

If i avoided the sun and garden machinery I’d probably be scar free
