Scars and their stories.

[imabrat]

The two major scars I have are on each hip. They're about 4 or 5 inches long, and are a little faded. When they first got there, they were down a lot further, and a bit more redish. So here's the story. I was born with dislocated hips, and I had to get an operation (it has some technical name...starts with an o...) when I was one. They put screws in my hips then, at two, they took them out. Apparently this didn't help. I was wrapped like a mummy and had to live on a stretcher in my apartment for a month. Luckily I had my Barbies, so all was good But they gave me the next (and thank goodness the last) operation when I was three. That fixed everything! Now I dance and do a lot of movement in theatre and stuff, so I'm okay. But if you look really closely, I have a slight limp. It's not obvious, but it's partly there. Drives the living heck out of me! But anyways, I have these two crazy scars to prove all I had to go through in the first three years of my life I always put my hands by my side when I'm wearing a bathing suit, because when you're little, you can brag about it, or not care. But now that I'm sixteen, I feel a bit more self-conscious about them

I know I will be extremely self-conscious about my scar on my right knee.
It's going to look horrendous when I'm in gym class,or wearing shorts,or swimming,whatever.
Have you ever gotten the "What happened to your hips?" yet?
I know I'm gonna get that one,and I'm debating whether to simply say "I had cancer" or to make something up like "Shark attack".

I have one across my arm.

One day I was playing with my friend, Amelia. And we deceided to play tag, blindfolded.

Then next thing i knew i was in the hospital.

I guess i got caught on something. Like a fence, i really dont know.

I have a scar on my foot from a couple months ago when I cut my leg shaving. I was talking on the phone at the same time, xD. Shouldn't have been doing that.

I have this abrasion looking scar on my left knee because when I was little I fell and busted my knee a lot! I was very active as a child and fell a lot in the dirt while I was playing softball.

I have a few other scars on my leg from other stuff, I don't remember what.

 

[crazytp93]

I have one on my kneecap from when I fell off my bike. And i have 2 little dots of scars on my left hand from when thuy burned warts off.

 

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

I have small scars above my eye from chicken pox.
I have a scar across the entire width of my right armpit from surgery to remove a pre-cancerous mole. I have scars on my stomach from my gallbladder surgery including one in my belly button. I have scars on my back and stomach from pre-cancerous mole removals and I have scars on my fingers and hands from cat scratches and stupid burns and other kitchen incidents.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

I've got a bump on one of my fingers from slamming it in the car door.

I also have tiny scars on my feet from mosquito bites that I scratch and scratch and scratch until they bleed because then they don't itch anymore. I had a mosquito bite right where the flip flop strappy thing goes. That looks pretty. Also my feet are all callused from dance, so I don't really like to show them off.

well over the past year my dad has had like 1000 diffrent cars literaly and i always sat on the right seat secnond row in every car. So one day my dad picked me up from a bday party ( i was 4) and i sat on the back left side. SO without looking like he always did he threw his duffle with his cell phone (cell phone 10 years ago was like 8 pounds) at the left side and hit me on my forehead and got s scar. Its barely noticably today unless i point it out.

 

[iGenie]

I don't have any scars, so I don't have any scars with stories, but believe me, I've been scarred from hearing stories

Yeah, I've gotten the "What happened to your hips?" My mom used to say when I was little that I should say I got in a fight with a lion. I thought it was funny back then (I never said it though), and if I said it now...I'd probably get a look like I had three heads. So I say I had surgery when I was little, and I leave it at that. People actually think it's cool, or that I'm brave and stuff. So I guess be honest, because people will probably find you very courageous

 

[O_Look_Its_Steph]

I have a small bump on my head.
When I was little me and my bff were playng around and I was giving him a piggy back ride and I went to go down the curb and I feel on the concrete and hit my head. =/

 

[DramaGirl]

Anybody have any scars with a story behind them?

----------------------------

I was reading an article about two girls with Osteosarcoma,the same type of cancer I have.
And it had a picture of one of the girls scar,and it said how whenever someone asks 'What happened to your leg?',she always responds by 'Shark attack'.
And that's where I got the inspiration for this thread.


Anyhoo,from the middle of my right thigh to the middle of my calf,I have one long scar from my knee replacement.
At the end of my right thigh,kind of on my knee,I have a little dot from my biopsy.
On my left knee,I have a scar from a time I was riding scooters with my friend,fell off,and a whole patch of skin fell off.
All over my hands,I've got little dots which are scars from different IV's.

Yep,I've got quite a medical history going on.

I read that story!

Anyway, I've just got one thin medium length scar on my arm from my friend's dog scratching me, and I've got one on my ankle from tripping on the beach and hitting a sharp shell... lol

Edit: Oh, and I also have one on my right pinky finger from slamming it in a car door, and a small one on my knee from falling down when I was ice skating.

 

[DramaQueen]

I have a scar on my forehead.
it's from when I was a baby and the Dark Lord tried to kill me!
J/K...I crashed into a wall when i was about 3 and cracked my head open.
(no stitches though! they used some type of medicinal glue)

I have one of my left hand from when I somehow scratched it on my overalls in grade 3.

I have 3 on my right hand from my sister scratching me with her deadly long nails!! (OUCH!)

And I have one on my left knee from falling down when I was roller blading.

 

[PowerMonkey]

I have one going down my chest (like street fighter's sagat style lol).. i was skateboarding down the street, tried to sustain a long manual, but accidently twisted the board to my side (i know, im stupid) ... the board stopped, but my body kept going haha... long story short, i fell on a rock and my momentum made me slide right across it, leaving a nasty cut >_<


i also have one on my left arm, right under my bicept.. i got stung by a hornet at punta cana lol.... it got infected... than, being the genius that i am, i swam in the ocean.. making the infection worst haha... so when i got back home, i had to stay in the hospital for 3 days so that they could drain out all of the virus and bacteria that were in my arm.. it sucked lol

 

[PurpleDucky]

Mine's pretty lame
I got a small scar on my forehead because I was 6 and we just moved into our apartment. So I decided to go swing on the complex's swingset. I loved to swing on my stomach and I had my stomach up on the swing too far.. and face planted in the sand
Got a hole in forehead, and I had a big white patch on my forehead for picture. BUT NO STITCHES!

 

[reminisce]

[MadameLeota]

Arms: Lots of burns and uhmm...cuts....yeah.

Legs: Fell over a car, got one from that. A big scar from a razorblade on my leg. Bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, you name it, I've fallen from it!

 

[CrazyChik]

One on my right upper thigh where i fell on stones in 6th grade
One on my left lower thigh where my leg got ripped by barbed wire
One on my knee where i fell from this wooden thing in a playground.

 

[PigletGurl]

i have a 15 inch scar down my whole back because i had a spinal fusion last year. people think its awesome, the end

 

[VolleyballQt07]

I have a scar on the upper right inside of my left thigh.

When I was little I used the cabinet doors to get up onto the counter and as soon as I was up there, I always kicked them shut. Well this time for some reason I didn't. So I jumped down and cut the inside of my thigh. This was from like 10 years ago and I still have the scar..........
