Battle Wounds

Not talking about real combat injuries. I truly respect anyone (including my wife) who gets injured in the line of duty.

This thread is about wounds from the battle of life. My most recent fresh from the hospital wound. I shaved part of my pinky on my left hand off with a deli slicer. The damn thing is still bleeding two days later. Insult to injury, they gave me a tetanus shot in mr right medial delt.

Got any to share?

Pretty noticeable scarring on the top of my left wrist from glass cuts I received in a car accident.

Scar on my forehead from when I was about 8. I was running around a corner, and my cousin came running around the same corner and we collided. His tooth gashed my forehead open.

“mr right medial delt”? WTF? I need to watch my spelling. I meant my… I don’t name my body parts…

I personally find scars pretty awesome.
However, scars in serious situations like from training, combat or whatever.
A scar cause you tripped like a dumbass is nothing to be proud about.

I got a couple from knee surgery which are pretty sweet. I’ve also got a whole handful of scars from working in a metal fab shop. That tore me up pretty good

I’ve got a backwards “F” shaped scar on my right calf that required 41 stitches. When I was 15, I crashed on my BMX bike in a race and two screws on the freewheel ripped into my calf. I banged my nuts so hard I didn’t even notice this gaping hole in my leg with part of my bone exposed until I tried to stand up.

Fucked my leg up for awhile and it’s still numb on my shin down near my ankle almost 15 years later. My calf development is noticeably different between my right and left leg.

I also still have back trouble after falling through a roof two years ago. I fell through, hit my head on a beam on the way down, got knocked out cold and fell about 12 feet. I landed on my feet, but since I was out cold I just crumpled when I hit, according to witnesses.

I remember hearing someone say “don’t step there” just as I started to go through and the next thing I remember was staggering around in front of the house refusing to go to the hospital. Got a couple stitches in my head as well.

Only other major injury was when I broke my cheek bone after I crashed while doing some gnarly downhill mt. biking at about 45-50mph. I was out in the middle of nowhere with a buddy of mine and had to ride down this mountain for about ten miles after I regrouped before we got to my truck.

Damn! I guess I’m not truly jealous but I have no battle wounds, worst that has ever happened to me is crashed while mt. biking and got a few scrapes. oh wait - I did get a really annoying callous at the end of a month long porn binge, thats about it. People all around me are always injuring themselves doing the same things I do, I feel left out.

I have a fuzzy grey dot that I see when I look at paper and other white backgrounds or objects.

A splinter of wood flew out of the back of a chipper I was using, bounced off of my cheekbone, under my safety glasses, and lodged into my eye. It toggled around a bit when I blinked, which didn’t help at all, and I had to pull it out myself because it’s really hard to immobilize your eyeball to prevent further damage.

There are a ton of others too, but I figure that one should give you the heebee-jeebees well enough.

Really? Fuck you man. LOL

Shivers just went down my spine.

I have herniated muscle fascia along my right shin, caused by the motor of a Camaro coming under the dash and pinning my leg in. This caused my forehead to bounce off the windshield, which opened me up pretty good there, and back into the seatbelt buckle, which layed open the back of my head.

A precautionary tale for you all: Don’t use Drano or any other type of chemical drain cleaner. Just call the plumber. I was going to work on a sink and some of that crap splashed up and got me in the face. Yes, it scars.

When I was in third grade someone stabbed me in the hand with a pencil. A couple deacades later I can still see the graphite in my palm.

Ha! I got this one too.

I’m surprised i didn’t die from LEAD poisoning. LOLOLOL I’m sooo funny!

This is a third person retelling. A bartender I used to work with swore by Crocs and said they were the most comfortable things to wear on your feet. She broke a shot glass, swept it up, but missed a piece of glass. About an hour later, she stepped on it and it went through her Croc like it was paper, and straight through her foot. Crocs are bad, mm-k.

I had my appendix removed, broken nose once, a few broken fingers, my nail is deformed right now etc…

Mine was actually the whole reason i got into bodybuilding. It was my sophomore year of high school and my friend had just got the first car of the group. I was a big ole fat ass back then, weighing in at a 220lbs of nothing but goop. So we were driving away from school and came up to a light. Light was green, and we were making a left turn; however, we did not know that this particular intersection was an unprotected left turn yield, meaning that Left turns had to yield to oncoming traffic, though there was no sign displaying that. My friend takes the turn, and just as he does some guy nails us doing 60 in a school zone, couldnt see him coming due to a bit of a hill before the light i guess.

I also think its good to mention that the car my friend was driving was a dinky little 2 door. The car essentially hit me, everyone else was fine. I was nearly blinded on both sides, have an inch long scar above my left eye and a half an inch long scar below my right eye (from the glass), and was put into a coma with a collapsed/punctured lung. I was in the coma for about a week, and dont remember too much from the whole experience (the day of the collision up to a couple weeks after waking up), except for one thing, one major thing…you see i partially blamed myself for what happened. I believed it was my weakness, my inability to handle the whole ordeal, that caused the damage. So i swore id never be weak again, i vowed to become bigger and stronger, and eventually that evolved into me checking my proportions in the mirror lol.

I don’t think you need to have a sign to know left turns have to yield to oncoming traffic, except in a case where there’s a traffic light that clearly indicates you CAN make a left turn with green light “arrow”.

Shit! I cant believe I forgot! Little over a year ago I had my index finger ripped off during a floor hockey tournament. I guess there is a reason for hockey gloves.

I caught a baseball bat with my cheekbone (10 stitches), somersaulted on a bike that lost its front wheel (18 stitches), and have lots of small scars from biking and playing volleyball. Fortunately most of my scars are minor.
