BATTLE SCARS.....

I 've been around a while. Learned to crawl, walk, run. Ride a bike and roller skate.

I've had my share of boo-boos too. Never broke a big bone but fractured my nose once and had a fractured rib....results of good fun gone awkward.

I've had stitches here and there from surgery but none needed from slicing a bagel or chopping veggies...or playing mumblypeg.

So I was thinking...every scar has a story. Can you recall how you got that one on your knee or the back of your arm...What were you doing? Where you afraid to tell Mom?

The scars on my knees from childhood mishaps are no longer visible. I have a scar on my right arm from cutting it on the rough edge of a homemade bird cage. I have a scar on my neck from thyroid surgery (had a goiter removed), but it is fading.

Both when I was in my twenties...one on my little finger from getting it pinched in a machine at the foundry I worked in. The foreman wouldn't let me see a doctor until my shift ended. The second one is on my upper arm - I was thrown through a large glass window in a barroom brawl. I remember little of that except there was a lot of blood and it didn't hurt much.

We are a beat up bunch aren't we? We should get together and compare our scars.

I left out some minor scars in my first post here. I have a inch and a half scar and some numbness in my right bird finger from dropping a huge cylinder of chlorine on it when I worked as a lifeguard while in college. There is a small scar and also some numbness on the little finger on my right hand from cutting it badly on a piece of Johnson grass. Any body else know what Johnson grass is? There are Small scars on both shoulders from rotator cuff surgery a few years ago. I have a chipped tooth from running into a barbwire fence while playing hide and seek in the dark when I was 8 or 9.

I think we all want to hear about Kooners gunshot wound.

Oh, Kooner, Next time I'm in NY I'll bring my boo boos around.

I almost hate saying this out loud, but I've never had stitches, never broke a bone, and my only hospital stay was for my tonsils.

O, and those four days I needed IV antibiotics...

Quinn, You have my sympathy.

Your comment about tonsils reminded me.

When I was four years old my tonsils were removed. That probably wouldn't have been to bad(they actually did feed me ice cream after)but some saddist, I think it was my mother, decided that to save money, I would be circumcised at the same time. Talk about burning the candle at both ends. I can still remember that ordeal.

That's so wrong.....on so many levels....

Ice cream can't help that pickle....

Whoops, I forgot the 13 small scars on my abdomen where they did the arthroscopic surgery. That makes my total 20.
