    Scar Face!

     I have a 3 inch scar across my right hand which I received when I threw fishing line into the lake attached to a very heavy weight. I also have a scar near my knee from when I fell over on my bike while living in Austin Texas. How did you accomplish/receive your most memorable scar?

    Let's see: a C-section scar and one in my hair line and the same one split off and in the middle of my forehead, (running away from my sister, I didn't want to be the horse), falling off the monkey bars(head), and on the back of my thigh from a fall I took and hit so hard I bled inside creating scar tissue.... Many, many other, little ones....


    P.S. Who all remembers Monkey Blood?

    You have some historical scars clu. I've experienced a few bully's in my time but the only one I can remember by name is Bubba Woodal from Johnson City, Texas. He thought he was tough but he was really a 6 foot pile of shasta! :)

    I have two scars that are barely visible. One I received while learning to iron as a child. I ran the iron right over my finger. The other I received while learning to 'carve' as a child. Apparently, it's not a good idea to bring the knife toward you while carving. I stabbed myself between my thumb and first finger. I was fascinated by being able to spread my thumb and finger apart and see right down into my hand! I went home and showed Mom....Eeeeeeekkkkkkk!!!        lol

    All part of the sport,CB, at least i did not break a pelvis like a female rider did in the same road race, it was a bad day for injuries.

    20 staples going in a C shape from top of scalp to near the right ear lobe.All due to having Trigeminal Neuralgia.The operation is called a MVD .....Microvascular Decompression.The scar is not visible though as obviously the hair covers it.

    Yikes! I just read about the condition and the surgery to correct it. I hope you've had none of the possible adverse effects from the surgery. :(

    Oh my goodness Pyth! Thanks for sharing this with us. I hope all is well with you.

    I can't imagine enduring pain like that.

    I have a small scar on my right cheekbone from a cyst removal and my appendix scar stretches from my far right side to a couple inches into the left side.  It ruptured and abscessed and was somewhere "up and under" someplace it wasn't supposed to be.  The doctor said he had to keep cutting across me, looking for it.
    The function of the appendix is unknown. One theory is that the appendix acts as a storehouse for good bacteria, “rebooting” the digestive system after diarrheal illnesses. Other experts believe the appendix is just a useless remnant from our evolutionary past. Surgical removal of the appendix causes no observable health problems.

    I've had my appendix removed also. I was eight years old and loved being in the hospital. The nurses spoiled me. :)

    Those were the days when people's health mattered!
    Being a little girl made you even more special!!! My sister was about the same age when she had hers removed.

    When I was in nursing school I learned that no one knows for sure the function of an appendix. Interesting as far as we have come to understand about the body and its functions that the appendix remains a mystery.

    Someone once told me it helped humans digest the rocks they ate in the stone age, so named because we ate stones. Uhh.....
