I was bitten by a dog and my bottom lip was ripped off when I was 5, they sewed it up horizontally on the bottom inside and out and then vertically right down the middle. It looked like I had just been busted in the mouth growing up but genetics gave me big lips and eventually the rest caught up with the scars and it is barely discernable now. I cut the underside of my big toe when I was 12 and have a large scar there. A horse ran me into a barbed wire fence at 14 and left several scars on my lower legs. I spilled burning grease on my upper thigh at 16 and that took months to heal and left a substantial scar. I sliced my thumb on a catfish at 18 that left a scar. I was involved in a motor vehicle vs. cow accident that shattered my left arm and left a railroad looking scar from wrist to elbow on the inside and outside of my lower arm as well as the smaller scars the surgeons left putting a plate in my neck and left foot. I wear my scars well. To me they are proof that one can overcome anything.....given the right mindset. happy

I only have two. My injuries were mostly the type which heal right up.


I have discoloring slightly on my arms and legs from falling out ofa moving car that didnt have the door shut tightly and I have a cirular mark on my leg from having dropped a round piece of meat from a very hot pot pie on my leg when I was younger.

matching scars:::

About a 2 inch scar on the bottom of my foot from running through a campsite when I was young. Running right through and stomping right down on a tent stake...5 stitches.

Same leg on my knee a few summers later ...we were jumping off a porch onto some huge pillows & blankets in the grass (weird kids we were). Landed on my knee and the zipper thingy from one of them pillows went ripping into my knee...5 stitches.


Also have a bunch of faded small scars across one side of my face,shoulder and chest area where I flipped off of a friends handlebars riding double when we wiped out in a street. I remember going home and having my mom pulling tons of small rocks out of me with tweezers then came the peroxide scared sad sad sad

Fell off our Tarzan swing into a prickle bush which was hiding a rusty rabbit-trap. 80k trip to the docs for a tetanus. Have a nice little scar on my foot.

Holy crap. Reading the replies to this is amazing. I thought I had a scar but it's really nothing. Runs from just below my neck to my waist. Had scoliosis and had my back straightened. A couple of titanium rods, a few hooks and I'm one inch taller and about 90% straight. Only had to have 4 ribs cut into to harvest the bone for the fusion.

I'm a work out fiend so building my back strength and core are the key to not having any back issues at all. btw - I have great posture now.

:angel:
