How did you get your most noticeable scar?

[Randy Parker]

Bicycle wreck when I was in elementary school left a scar on my right knee.

 

What's your scar story?

[Jumper_Dad]

Right index finger: Wrecked bike into a briar patch after jumping a ramp, a briar ripped about an inch tear in my finger.

 

Left index finger: Filet knife, cut looks identical to scar on my right hand.

 

Appendix Scar, around 5" long, surgeon had trouble getting to it when I was in 4th grade.

My dad hit me right between the eyes with a baseball.

[rockmom]

I fell while walking my dogs and tore the crap out of my elbow/forearm.

 

Unless you count the more recent scar where I burned my wrist on the oven rack.

[SnottieDrippen]

Two 1" scars on my forearm/elbow. The first from attempting to use a plastic lawn chair as a trampoline to dunk on an 8' goal hanging above gravel and the second from using the top of a door frame as a goal. Ball bounced off the wall and shattered a light fixture directly above my head. I consider myself lucky in both instances.

 

There's also a large scar just to the inside of my left shin bone from cutting carpet incorrectly.

Forearm burnt by an iron when I was a youngster. Don't remember it.

I fell while walking my dogs and tore the crap out of my elbow/forearm.

 

Unless you count the more recent scar where I burned my wrist on the oven rack.

 

Since everyone is measuring:

 

Elbow/forearm is 4"

Wrist is 1"

 

Please don't ask for all my scars' history. IL need bballfan to ghost write. :lol2:

I have a series of mini scars on the top of my hands from my Sophomore year of spring football when I was on accutane medicine. I was so dried out and that stuff is poison.

 

Probably the most significant scar is just below my right breast. In second grade I had a per-cancerous mole (size of a thumb drive) that was removed.

[UKMustangFan]

About a 15" scar from just above my belly button all the way up to just under my neck.

 

Heart surgeries from when I was 4 months old and then again at 6.

[Randy Parker]

Heart surgeries from when I was 4 months old and then again at 6.

 

Wow. What kind of surgeries?

[lawildcat]

3 scars on my chest where they inserted tubes when my lungs collapsed at age 3.

 

1 scar on my knee where a stick punctured it while in the woods searching for my ball.

 

1 scar on my foot where my sister broke her piggy bank open on my bed and didn't clean it up.

 

Probably a scar from 2 episiotomies but I can't see it. :bunny:

[UKMustangFan]

Wow. What kind of surgeries?

 

Without going into too much detail, I was born with transposition of the great vessel, basically my aorta and pulmonary arteries were switched, so they had to remove them and reattach them in their proper spots.

 

Then when I was 6, I had to have my aortic valve replaced as it had started to malfunction.

 

At least one more surgery is in my future whenever my replacement valve bites the dust...

[hoops5]

Appendix in 6th grade.

 

Removal of cancerous spots on my face have left areas of no pigmentation that become more noticeable during the summer. Doc says it's due to sun damage from years ago.

 

Wear sunscreen, people!

I've got several, 4 knee surgeries so that's pretty obvious there.

 

The most noticeable, may be the scar above my left eye from getting head butted(accidentally) during a pickup game of basketball, ended up needing several stitches. I had actually been recovering from one of those knee injuries and wasn't really supposed to be playing ball. Needless to say my lateral movement wasn't that great and we just went head to head.

The monkey house doors at the Lincoln Park Zoo came out of nowhere and hit me in the face.
